Contraception has been a controversial issue for many years and today the conflicting views of Catholic Church and Secular Society will be explored.

The birth rate among teen girls has dropped 67% since 1991, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Although the rates have dropped, teen pregnancy still continues to be a significant problem in our society. Many young women are being robbed of their chance to continuing their education since their responsibility is to take care of their young newborn.

somehow my experience with men has declined. As I got older and more mature, I was able to fully learn and understand how contraceptives work and it was a life-changing for me. I have used different types of birth control but the ones that I was able to experience the most were the birth control…

was the result of an increased involvement of the government in family planning as well as the lack of education for women on other contraceptive forms. In the last fifty years of Brazil’s history there has been a massive shift in fertility and birth rates. In the year 1970, Brazil’s fertility rate was recorded as 5.75 children per woman.

The surgical route…

Chapter Six of our textbook, Understanding Human Behavior was filled with information based on “Biological Development in Adolescence” (as the title of the chapter was even titled). In this chapter I personally found it all to be interesting, and full of information from physical changes an adolescent faces to how sexual activity/prevention. Adolescences go through a lot of changes, not only physically, but psychologically, and socially. These changes are never experienced the same from one…

It is understandable that, in many cases, birth control is flawed; for instance, condoms are not created from the most reliable materials, and remembering to swallow a numbered pill each day can be difficult.
