Birth control is such a necessity these days for many women, but getting a hold of it is not as easy as ordering fast food over the phone. Fortunately, thanks to technology, women can now easily buy them without having to go to too much trouble just so they keep a stock of their birth control. An app called Nurx has arrived to save the day.

Customers don’t even need to dial any number and make a phone call to order for the delivery of birth control. According to Hello Giggles, all women need to do these days is to download the Nurx app and fill up their information online. Once they are done with that, the company then sends their details to a doctor for checking and approval.

"Nurx is disrupting the birth control market like Trump is disrupting the Republican Party." https://t.co/bNuOSw4KYW by @RachelKhona …show more content…
After prescription was good to go, the company will then send it to the pharmacy and acquire their customer’s request for birth control. This company can deliver all kinds of birth control, except for IUD.

In America, it could take time before you could get a prescription, so this app is really changing the course of things when it comes to the birth control market. For those who have insurance, this service is free of charge. But for those who don’t have it, they are required to pay $15, which is still not a bad

    Plan B Pill: An Analysis

    Plenty of information exists to validate the concerns of those opposed to the Plan B pill being readily available without a prescription to women as young as fifteen. The Director of Pro-Life Action League states that allowing Plan B to continue being sold over the counter to young girls encourages promiscuity and does not only invite them, but older men who often prey on them, to engage in sexual behavior (Scheidler A.12). In addition, Scheidler goes on to state that critics argue women, especially teenagers, will substitute Plan B for other types of birth control measures, such as condoms. This in turn will increase the rate of sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Hanna Klaus, an obstetrician-gynecologist, cited the increased chlamydia and…

    Pros And Cons Of Plan B One Step Emergency Contraception

    The picture in the ad and the wording to go along is very misleading, it shows a happy couple and says “The moment was perfect”. This advertisement could tell people that it is okay to have unprotected sex and to use Plan B One Step pill as a “safety net,” meaning that they know they are having unprotected sex, and they can get the pill after to be an easy fix. Plan B pill is not one hundred percent guaranteed there has been many cases that this pill has not worked. At the bottom of the ad it says “For the perfectly imperfect” meaning it is okay to mess up, and that this pill is for the people who do not take the right precautions. For these “imperfect people this pill will be their resort, so they think it is okay to have unprotected sex over and over, because the pill works ninety five percent of the time, that is if the woman takes the Plan B pill in less than 24 hours, and eighty nine percent within seventy two…

    Margaret Sanger's Impact On The Legalization Of Contraceptives

    Coming in to this course, I did not know what to expect due to the fact that I have never taken a women and gender studies course. Now that we are at the end of the course and I am able to reflect on what I have learned, I believe that the topic that I was most interested in and learned the most about was reproductive rights. While reflecting on what I have learned regarding reproductive rights, I will be discussing: the dangers that women experienced without forms of contraceptives, important people who aided in the fight for legal contraceptives as well as the creation of a birth control pill, and the battle to legalize contraceptives. First, there were many dangers that women experienced during the time when forms of contraceptives…

    Meaningful Use Program Analysis

    Patients often become non-compliant with medications when they ran out of their medicines or change their prescribed medicines to over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Providing prescriptions electronically is likely to improve patient compliance with their medications which can lead to positive patient outcomes. According to Tagalicod (2013), the CMS has reported that so far more than 190 million prescriptions have been sent to the patients electronically by eligible providers participating in Meaningful Use program. About 13 million patient reminders have been sent to patients about their preventive or follow-up care (Tagalicod, 2013).

    Planned Parenthood: Subsidized Health Care

    Over the past few years, the accessibility of healthcare has become a very personal issue to me. My family is just above qualifying for subsidized health insurance, but right below being able to afford our own. We neglect our health and wellbeing because there is little we can do about choosing between paying our bills to keep a roof over our heads versus seeing the doctor for chronic health issues that can be alleviated (but not truly resolved) with a bottle of aspirin. While I do not have a regular primary care doctor, I am fortuitous enough to be able to have access to an affordable, nearby clinic. Having experienced years of debilitating periods, the knowledgeable workers of Planned Parenthood quickly addressed my problem and provided me with information about the most affordable and effective options available.…

The use of contraceptives has served to decrease the rate of teenage pregnancy, but there are still restrictions on young girls, who are forbidden in purchasing their own products.
