The Pros And Cons Of Birth Control

Decent Essays
While there is a lot of misconception even now in 2015 there is a lot of things that come in the way of a perfect contraceptive, in one hand we have religion making it harder in some people to look for birth control preventing the use of this in any kind, on the other hand there is not enough information provided about birth control even to people who can get it. As a woman I have encounter multiples methods of birth control like the pill, the ring and injections to name a few, and even now I hear comments like the pill makes you fat, the injections make it harder to conceive, etc. I believe the way of making a good method of birth control is information, not rules or punishment like we all have seen from china making the one child per marriage
