Arguments For Free Birth Control

professionals have supported the idea of making birth control available to all women. In “Planned Parenthood: Ideas for the 1980s” Carl W. Tyler proposes his four ideas for Planned Parenthood. His four ideas are reproductive choice, reproduction free of risk, the quality of parenting, and freedom from harm. Carl is a physician specializing in gynecology and in obstetrics for 15 years. His idea of “All individuals of reproductive age should be free to determine the number and timing of their pregnancies

Free and Accessible Birth Control in the United States A total of 730,322 abortions were reported from the Centers for Disease Control in 2011. This could easily be resolved with proper usage of birth control. But the fact of the matter is that only 62% of women are actually using proper birth control, now this may seem like a lot of women, but there is 158.6 million women in the United States alone so 58.5 million are currently not on any birth control which is a huge amount of women. Birth

and Planned Parenthood, it would be logical to require healthcare insurance companies to provide free birth control coverage to women because birth control prevents abortions. As stated previously, contraceptive devices such as the pill, patch, ring, insert, and IUD have been proven effective towards preventing unexpected pregnancies. If less women are getting pregnant because they are taking birth control, then there wouldn’t be any need for worried women to have abortions, which should make the president

rise in abortion rates. But, should birth control be provided to teenagers by the government to reduce teen pregnancies? Birth control has been funded by the government for a very long time, but it is not sent out the right message. This is because with the birth control being paid for, they need not worry about getting pregnant and, they would not learn the consequences of their actions. While that is an understandable concern, girls’ access to free birth control methods is a part of the Affordable

Birth Control: The Age Old Debate Sex for pleasure instead of reproduction has been a concept practiced for millennium. The concept of birth control has been around since for several millennium, as evidenced by “cave [paintings] that researchers believe could be 15,000 years old, found in France” (Gibson, 2015); presumably made out of “fish bladders, linen sheaths, and animal intestines” (Thompson, 2013). Evidence of things like spermicide has been around since 1500 B.C.E. Rubber condoms and dental

planet if we make birth control completely accessible. Unintended children, as much of a blessing they may turn out to be, come with a financial and environmental tax that everyone has to pay. These children contribute to overpopulation, which is directly connected to climate change. The literature supports this as well. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2014), cites a study “estimating a 30 percent decrease in emissions by 2100 if women without access to birth control were provided

Consequently, when Republicans voted down the GOP bill in January, panic ensued (Adamczyk). Birth control varies in importance to women everywhere, and critics attack its right to be covered by health insurance every chance they get. However, when you remove opinion from the equation, all of the facts point to a single conclusion: birth control

eliminate birth-control coverage from their health care plans due to moral or religious objections (CNBC). These new regulations are not only inhumane, they are argued to be unconstitutional. The primary users of oral contraception are women, so denying women easy access to birth control is considered gender discrimination, because it singles out women and treats medication they need less-favorably, thus violating the Civil Rights Act (Planned Parenthood Action). Many women need birth control for health

Birth control has been a serious topic as of late. People have started debating whether birth control should be free or not. Birth control is a contraceptive, it prevents pregnancy. Free birth control reduces abortion. The website, thenationalcampaign.org states, “Providing birth control to women at no cost substantially reduced unplanned pregnancies and cut abortion rates by 62 to 77 percent over the national rate” (Albert). That is a lot of deaths prevented and all because of free birth control

message sent loud and clear today is that dissenting religious opinion, once again, trumps a female need: no-pay birth control access. That message is sent through regulation and poor modifications to progressive mandates such as Trump’s recent adjustments to the Affordable Care Act. These ‘adjustments’ or ‘new rules’ intend to provide an ‘out’ for employers who object to providing birth control coverage through their insurance policies. Employers now have the right to deny this coverage due to moral
