It is a great down fall the lack of education on contraceptives, which only leaves American teens at a greater risk for long-term consequences.

Every culture and society does not allow or consider abortion as a rightful act, and abortion is a name of destroying human life. Now a days our society faces several types of issues Abortion is one of the complicated issue for both ways health and society that’s why abortion become a very controversial issue that’s become debatable in politics. In addition, these researches will describe the different issues of abortion, such as, legal laws on abortion, restriction of abortions, rate of abortion and consequences of the abortion.

Master of Professional Health Debra Hauser states that sexual education is an essential part of the development and growth of teenagers. In her article “Youth Health and Rights in Sex Education”, MPH Hauser provides a report of teenage pregnancies and STDs incidences, which points out that each year in the United States, about 750,000 teens become pregnant, with up to 82 percent of those pregnancies being unintended. Young people ages 15-24 account for 25 percent of all new HIV infections in the U.S (Hauser). According to Hauser, “sex education teaches young people the skills they need to protect themselves”, such as the ability to recognize patterns of a toxic relationships, learning to value and have control over their bodies, understanding

Did you know that abortion is common for around 1 of every 3 women in the United States (Camosy 17)? Abortion became a bigger problem in The United States in 1973 when it was made legal. Roe v. Wade was a case in Texas where a woman named Norma McCorvey wanted to have an abortion. She filed a lawsuit on behalf of herself and every other pregnant woman saying that it is an “invasion of privacy”(Roe v. Wade, The Free Dictionary). In 1973, the Supreme Court had ruled that the Texas law was unlawful. They allowed abortion to be legal, but it was too late because she had already had her child two years beforehand (Roe v. Wade, The Free Dictionary). Since Roe v. Wade, there have been around 55 million abortions. Twenty-one percent of pregnancies

We have all heard the stories about the rise in teenage pregnancies, girls dropping out of school to care for their newborns, and even those who get pregnant on purpose. This new trend is everywhere. Most parents fail to have the “talk” with their children and are left without the proper education regarding sex until its too late. With the current rates of teenage pregnancy correlated with the current rates of spreading epidemics of STD’s and HIV/AIDS, steps should be taken in an effort to aid the situation. Schools are a main source of information and education for teens, and are in a unique position that can provide adolescents with knowledgeable skills and understanding that promote sexual health. With consistent speculation surrounding

Whether a person would choose to obtain an abortion for themselves, does not provide them for the right to make a decision about what another individual would choose to do. Personally I am a Pro-choice supporter and support any woman who deems that an abortion is the right decision based on her individual circumstances. The ethical dilemma of abortion will not be disappearing anytime soon, because of the strong emotions of

It was only three days after being born that I was flown to my new family in Illinois. If I had not been for a one woman’s unselfish decision, I would not be writing the words on this page right now. Abortion is an ethically wrong decision and option for a parent. It is illegal to take the life of another human being; by choosing to have an abortion, legally a parent is not willingly killing a human life. However, this choice is still seen as a murder to most people. Women should be forced to place their children up for adoption instead of a choice have an abortion.

Abortion has always been a controversial topic in the United States for decades. Abortion is like taking the life of someone without their permission so it is technically “murder”. There is no such thing as an unwanted child, millions of families in the United States are always willing to adopt. On the other hand, there are circumstances where a woman can barely care and sustain herself so chances are that she will not be able to take care of her child. Or when a rape occurs, having an abortion is not as bad as when a woman has sex without protection and knows she has the chance to get pregnant.

Abortion is a controversial issue in many countries all the time and there are always two sides of abortion. Pro-life supporters believe that abortion is immoral, so they argue that it should be illegal because an unborn baby is life. However, they do not figure out that woman who is on the inevitable situation such as infection, rape, or extreme poverty would still have the abortion even though the abortion is illegal. Many women die due to unsafe abortion, which is illegal and performed by uneducated people. Therefore, the abortion should be legal to protect the life of ‘alive women’ because women’s life is equal to human’s right. I would like to provide more affirmative bases to support abortion in this paper.

Secondly, when sexual education is taught in schools there are fewer health consequences. Teenagers are curious and thus, will not understand the effects that sex can have emotionally, physically and psychologically. Teen pregnancy is a disquieting reality for many teens. Not surprisingly, as pregnancy has a large impact on adults, but how much more so for naive teenagers? Sexual education empowers teens by providing them with solutions to epidemics such as teen pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy rates decrease when teenagers are being taught comprehensive sexual education. According to SIECUS.org, “comprehensive sex education [is] associated with a 50% lower risk of teen pregnancy”. This is because sexual education programs teach about contraceptives and birth controls. Some parents do not teach their children about

Pregnancy in adolescents is a significant problem that needs the attention, prevention and solution. According to the World Health Organization, the quantity of births that take place throughout adolescence is about 2% in China, 18% in Latin America and the Caribbean and more than 50% in sub-Saharan Africa. Half of all adolescent births take place in just seven countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria and the United States. Why have some countries a high rate of pregnancy in teenagers? What makes a big different in between Comprehensive Sexuality education at young age in some countries? What are some of the strategies that successful teachers use to teach Sexuality education in their classrooms? Sexuality education in public schools at young age will lead to healthier sex behavior among the students in their later lives of adolescents.

Comprehensive sexual education has long been a contentious issue within the United States of America. Owing largely to America’s history and culture, sexual education has long been stigmatized as unnecessary involvement in the private life, or even misattributed to rising rates of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. A U.S. review article, however, poses the opposite argument – “The overwhelming weight of evidence reveals that sex education which discusses contraception does not increase sexual activity.” The understanding of sex education not only provides young people with a better understanding of the ways in which their bodies function, but can also help in allowing teenagers to take better care of their sexual health to include pregnancy and STI prevention. Furthermore, sex education improves gender equality, provides accurate information about sexually transmitted infections, and promotes interpersonal skills. Thus, comprehensive sexual education should be introduced and made mandatory in all secondary schools across the United States.

In 2011, a study was conducted asking high school students about their knowledge on sexual education and if they were, or had ever been, sexually active. Results showed that 47.4% of students reported ever having sexual intercourse. Among those students, 45.6% reported being female and the rest male. This study also showed that knowledge of sexual education was very low, with 33% female and 46% male students reporting that they had no knowledge on contraceptive methods before their first sexual experience. Researchers targeted students around ages 18-19, asking about their knowledge on sexual education and methods of contraception. Among these students, 41% reported

As a very natural part of our everyday lives and existence as humans, it is perplexing how so many Americans are undereducated about human reproductive systems and sex organs, their structures and functions, and the various effects and consequences of human sexuality. The responsibility of properly educating young people about human sexuality is in the hands of parents and schools. Educational programs in U. S. schools today, such as Abstinence Only and Abstinence Plus programs, may not provide adequate information to teach young people how to make knowledgable decisions in real-life situations about sex. Comprehensive Sexuality Education programs have been shown to be much more effective at preventing teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STI 's; SEICUS). As it is an extremely broad topic, “Sexuality education is a life-long process of acquiring information and forming attitudes, beliefs, and values” (SEICUS). However, the acquisition of fundamental knowledge, credible information, and appropriate health resources can help in this life-long process and minimize unwanted or negative effects.

In today’s day and age, teenagers are sexually active even though may not be mentally, emotionally, or financially prepared for the consequences of their actions. Students who are uneducated on sex and what it entails, need to know about the risks and health disparites it can cause. According to Amy S. Hedman PH.D, a professor at Minnesota State University, and author of American Journal of Health Studies claims that, sexually transmitted diseases are one of the most common consequences of unprotected sex and one in four high school students have a STD. (Hedman). It is crucial that students are provided with the opportunity to learn information regarding prevention and detection of STD’s. Not only can the lack of sex education lead to the progression of diseases, pregnancy can occur just as easily. After obtaining research on sex education the African News Service claims that, “Absence of comprehensive sex education has resulted in teen pregnancy”
