Compare And Contrast A Variety Of Methods Of Birth Control

Healthcare professionals are faced with a multitude of ethical and legal conundrums. Since the introduction of birth control in American history, healthcare professionals have been put in situations to either follow their own moral and ethical beliefs, or choose to follow the law and give healthcare services to those who seek it. A large constituent to the disapproval of contraceptives other than natural family planning, is health professional’s religious beliefs. In addition, Adolescent females who need contraceptives are less likely to seek access to health care providers for these contraceptives in fear of personal information due to their age being released. Through the research provided, cases of pharmacist denial of prescribed or over the counter contraceptives to women have been the majority of conflict in this nation and in others.

The topic that is up for discussion now will be birth control. I have just come across a life changing situation in my life in which I had to make a choice. I am a proud father of my soon to be 16 year old daughter. She has been having bad cramps and pain every month due to her menstrual cycle for the last 2 years. My wife and I have finally gotten to the point of deciding that she should be put on birth control. Now as a man the only birth control I know is the “Pill”. As I was doing research I have come to find out that I am so lost about the different types of birth control, the pros and cons, as well as the cost of each. After reading this report as a woman you should be a little bit wiser and as a guy

Do you think that teenagers should have access to birth control ? Do you think they are responsible for any side effects ? Birth control is a way to prevent you from getting pregnant. Many teenagers need to understand that there is a way from not getting pregnant. In my opinion I believe that teenagers should use birth control because there would be less drop outs , reducing teen birth rate and better health benefits for womens. Teenagers should have access to birth control because it will cause less drop-outs, reduce the teen birth rate and the health benefit for women.

Over the years, access to birth control has remained quite regulated. These harsh regulations make the process for teens, who are using the pill for their own health, uncomfortable and socially awkward. Many teens use the pill to regulate natural female occurrences and are looked down upon due to the social stigma behind the pill. Although some say that allowing teens more access to birth control can teach them that certain behaviors are okay, easier access to the pill would allow young women to take more control of their lives and have the ability to function the entire month without complications.

23-year-old Lindsay Cox is a Nebraskan native and student at Wesleyan University. Like many of her peers, Lindsay has to maintain a part-time job, her studies, and even her sex life. As a result of the fully dedicated college schedule, often times for Lindsay, deciding between the use of birth control or saving up for a college text book has become a continuous balancing act. ("Birth Control Funding 1). To the rescue seemed President Barack Obama's contraception mandate, a portion of the Federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)that requires health insurance plans to provide free FDA-approved contraception. While some men and women alike appreciate the 2010 decree, rulings like this have others debating whether or not contraception

In modern day society, birth control is remotely routine. Four out of five women rely on hormonal contraceptives to inhibit their ability to conceive. With consequences blatantly delineated, women continuously risk the odds. The amount of women at risk makes it notably essential that we understand the effects of such birth prevention thus forcing the question what is affected. Sex has often been spoken for in relation to possibly affected variables from birth control. "With the increase in research aimed at developing new treatment methods for women's sexual dysfunctions over the past several years, a better understanding of the link between women's sexual functioning and satisfaction is called for" (Meston and Trapnell p2). Being hormonal beings prior, one could only assume the disjustice additional hormones are doing to a body. "Yet, to our knowledge, no studies have examined the relation between what constitutes satisfaction and what constitutes distress within sexual realm" (pg 2). With the sexual satisfaction scale to measure the intimacy, low scores would

The birth control pill has come such a long way from where it started, such that people are taking the pill for more than just birth control. I personally take the pill for acne control, but many women use it to regulate menstrual cycles. According to the Consumers Union of the United States “there is no need for women who aren’t planning a family to menstruate every month...fewer periods may be healthier…suppressing menstrual periods is easy with the use of a hormonal contraception” (CR’s Guide to Contraception). I tend to be wary of reports like this. Most birth controls tend to make menstrual cycles shorter and lighter, which many women are very giddy about, but I feel like methods that completely stop a cycle are not right. For the sake of her privacy, I will not say who she is, but I know someone who has problems with her

The human body is a complex system; both the female and male have the same basic organs and almost the same functions. The main difference is considered to be the sexual organs and the hormones they produce. As some people might know the women’s body secretes the hormone estrogen, which starts the secondary sexual characteristics, which include the breasts, the menstrual cycle, the pubic and armpit hair production, the metabolism, and the ability to create a baby inside of her. Estrogen production is mainly produced in the ovaries and affects the vagina, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and mammary glands. The male’s body secretes the hormone testosterone, which affects their sex drive, their bone mass, their voice, their hair production, their

The federal government recently ordered the Food and Drug Administration to make the morning-after pill available to women of all ages without a prescription, the ruling was a political embarrassment for the Obama administration and unleashed protests from abortion foes and abstinence advocates. no less heated discussion that is roiling the medical community should birth-control pills of any type require a doctor’s prescription? Or should they be available, like Tylenol, on pharmacy shelves?. As a teenage girl I strongly believe that birth control pills should be available to teenage girls without a doctor's prescription. teenage girls as early as the age of 12 start having a sexual active life and because some are afraid to talk to their parents

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 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. The backlash towards birth control is based on nothing but on the archaic views of the past featuring themes on abstinence and notions like that the sole purpose of a woman is to be a child-bearer; therefore birth control and the knowledge of such should be accessible to every person regardless of age, socioeconomic status, gender and sexual orientation.

Appropriately called by some one of the “Seven Modern Wonders of the World,” the birth control pill has absolutely revolutionized the lives of women around the globe. As an effective means to control if and when a woman has a child, the pill opened up doors to spaces where women weren’t allowed prior. A person controlling their own fertility is an essential component of creating economic security, limiting unwanted pregnancies, and creating healthier families. There are many new options for contraception for women today, but the pill was the original catalyst in the United States for women claiming control over their fertility, career, and overall health status.

Within the pro-choice world there are many issues that are discussed like abortion, the instant where life begins and the use of contraceptives. This article will focus on not only the issue of using of contraceptives, but specifically the distribution of oral contraceptives (“the pill”) to teenage girls without their parent’s consent.

Compared to the male condom and the birth control pill, the IUDs on the market

If girls are allowed to purchase and use birth control pills without parent permission, this could have disastrous consequences for the family’s financials. Why is this even an issue? Well, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that, in order for families to stay afloat in the financial market, they must have an all-encompassing idea of where their money is flowing, and where the majority of their expenses are being paid, right? Managing by-the-numbers domestic economics is rocket science: you must know where each part of the rocket is all the time, how well it works, and whether or not it is at risk; if not, the whole ordeal falls apart. If your daughter were to file a purchase without your knowledge, your budget could shrink exponentially

Learning of the many different birth control methods was truly interesting to me. This chapter opened my eyes to many birth control options that my doctor had never before offered to me. One example of a birth control method that was particularly interesting was the diaphragm. I heard of diaphragms on older television sitcoms like, Roseanne and Seinfeld, but never had encountered someone that knew anything about them. I now question why my doctor did not offer this hormone free birth control method, or any of the other hormone free options discussed in the text to me when I began to wean my daughter from being exclusively breastfed. Learning that it was the modern version of ancient Greece’s empty pomegranate halves was slightly comical.
