Birth Control In The Long Run

In the early 2000s, Ortho Evra which is a birth control patch, NuvaRing, an injection for birth control, and a intrauterine device are all new forms of birth control approved by the FDA. In 2006, the FDA approves over-the-counter status for the morning after pill, also known as Plan B, for women 18 and older. In 2007, teen birth rate rises due to increased funding for abstinence-only education in schools, while the FDA approves the first birth control pill that also prevents monthly periods. In 2013, Plan B was allowed to be sold over-the-counter without any age restrictions. According to a study done by researchers Kost, Henshaw, and Carlin in 2010;

Even though birth control issues remain as a controversial topic from the early 18th century to now, the debate between Margaret Sanger and Winter Russel on the pros and cons of providing information about birth control strategies for the public was a foundation stone for today’s family planning policies and regulation of transmission of venereal disease in the United States of America. It is important to note that although in 1920 information about birth control strategies were banned from reaching the public, because of religious believes, it was this ban that helped create an awareness about the issue and created more birth control movements. The main points Sanger brought to the public in her debate were focused on the outcomes of

In today’s society, there seems to be younger teens engaging in sexual activity and it would be good to know that they have the pill available as a backup plan. This would let them know that if they do happen to have unprotected sex they know that they have an easy and safe option that would prevent a pregnancy. It is always nice to have this reassurance. The bills that have been proposed to allow this to happen have stated that if they are younger than seventeen, they need to have a prescription. This is not a bad proposal at all, it is smart and reasonable, but it continues to get rejected. Bills that proposed to allow fifteen year olds to get a hold of Plan B have all failed except for one in 2013. Alexander Otto, author of the article "Plan B One-Step now OTC for women 16 years old".

This means that young adults may be at increased risk of unintended pregnancy and STIs for nearly a decade or longer” (http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/FB-ATSRH.html) .

This topic has been met with much opposition, with some citing potential health risks or others feeling wary of the level of government intervention, especially with the Affordable Care Act calling for birth control coverage for physician approved contraceptive methods.

This memo serves to explain H.R. 3134, which aims to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood (PPFA) for one year, by giving an overview of key birth control legislation, evaluating the bill’s strengths and weaknesses, and concluding with a recommendation to adjust the proposed cancelation of funding PPFA to a reduction of three percent.

Evidence of things like spermicide has been around since 1500 B.C.E. Rubber condoms and dental dams have been around for nearly 200 years. And yet, there is still an extreme pushback on birth control. In the year 1873, the Comstock Act was put into place. This act prohibited the distribution knowledge of birth control on a scale ranging from printing to conversations between doctors and patients. This act prompted centuries of skepticism and backlash towards the concept of birth control.
