In the case of Mrs. Adams and her decision to abort the fetus, I will attempt to discuss the implications and how these arguments fit into this particular predicament. Mrs. Adams finds out that she is pregnant despite her use of contraception, she finds herself unable to provide for the fetus especially because she has to provide for her two children and the upcoming one if she would have decided to keep the fetus. Using Marquis’s argument, he would say that this abortion is morally unjustified…

My topic, D.W Griffith, was a man that very few people know about. He was one of the founding fathers of modern film making and one of the first people to add camera effects to his work.

His parents were Jacob and Mary Griffith, they met each other after the Civil War, but during the war his father fought on the side of the Confederates as a…

A growing number of young adults are routinely engaging in unprotected sexual activity, which frequently leads to serious health outcomes and safety concerns. To resolve this on-going issue of risky sexual behaviors, programs are beginning to be implemented in schools to provide adolescents with information on how to be safe, unsafe sex consequences, and how to reduce risks for STIs and unintended pregnancies.

Many sexually active teens are not fully educated on the dangers of unprotected sex. Instead, they are told that abstinence is the only option for teens. This method of sexual education leads to more teen pregnancy over comprehensive sexual education. When comparing the abstinence only versus comprehensive sex education, comprehensive sex education was associated with a 50% lower teen pregnancy risk (“National”). In Illinois alone, 22,660 teenage women between the ages of fifteen and nineteen…

efficacy and side effects of using birth control, particularly of the hormonal variety. A 2008 study by Venkat et al. reveals that Hispanic women overrate the negative outcomes of contraceptive use, particularly the oral pill method. Only 56% of Latina respondents agreed that the oral birth control pill works in preventing pregnancy. A separate study cited by Venkat had shown that 90% of women educated at Brown University correctly estimated the efficacy of oral birth control, which has a 91%…

consent from their parents to “promote the best interests of young women and improve family communications” fail to realize they are stripping teens of their right of privacy which is unconstitutional. In France, the government pays for girls to have birth control without parental consent, and as the government pays for it, that adds another level of privacy. They are doing this because they believe it will “reduce the teen pregnancy rate” (Judy Molland) which they think is also due to…

depression and anxiety. There are many ways for young women to prevent teen pregnancy: abstinence, birth control pills, emergency contraception pills, birth control shots, implants and intrauterine devices such as Marana. The biggest problem that we see today is that young women have no idea that different contraceptive options are available to them. Many women know about the risks and benefits of using birth control pills but our sex education classes fall short in educating young women on all…

Sex Education is a Contraceptive “According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an average of 40,000 to 80,000 new cases of HIV are reported each year in the U.S. It is estimated that half of all new infections are among people younger than 25” (quoted in Statistics). There have been many debates over this topic. When is the right time to talk about sex and would it make them more curious? Children are already curious about their bodies; the goal is to make sure they…

females were getting married ranged from eighteen to twenty one. Because children were being born by their mothers at a very young age, the average female’s ability to conceive, reproduce and recover rather quickly prompted them to average five to seven births per each marriage. Despite the abundance of children being born in the 1650s, who lived to surpass age ten, they were unable to reach age twenty. As one of the first groups to arrive and settle in the Massachusetts Bay area, acclimating…
