Contraceptives: Lawerence Finger And Evette Dionne

There was a sex conference that was held in Sweden in 1946, eight countries showed up to this particular conference. Many knew the challenge of birth control pills, but needing to do something of the rapid global population. Birth control did not start taking effect until the 1950s. How the pill first started was made by Margaret Sanger a white women in 1916. This was huge to America, Sanger's argument was a mother can’t even afford to take care of a big family when she keeps reproducing, but does not have enough room to care for it.

I would also like to look at the effect of birth control outside the context of America and compare it with England and France where this form of contraception clashes with religious ideals. It would be interesting to consider whether the notion of the second wave of feminism is the same on a global scale and whether some countries are yet to enter this phase with women still being unable to access contraception. It is remarkable to see that in some countries women only obtained the vote in the previous five years especially in Eastern countries which is why it would be interesting to evaluate America in relation to other countries to see if this difference is merely a Western and Eastern difference or if it is a matter of difference between

To begin, Crystal Eastman first published her article in 1918. She produced the source for a large target audience. The article was originally published in a radical journal called Birth Control review. The source’s purpose was to inform women that, whether the law stated so or not, they had a choice as to whether or not to conceive a child. The purpose of the source is to demand that women take control of their bodies. “I would almost say, that the whole structure of the feminist’s dream of society rests upon the rapid extension of scientific knowledge about birth control.” (Eastman, Pg.510).

Birth control has always been somewhat of a taboo subject. Even though it has come a long way from when it was first introduced many are still against the idea of it. Margaret Sanger devoted her life to legalize birth control and to make it universally available for all women today. I chose her for my paper because I strongly believe that birth control should be available to all women and that women should have the right to be able to control if they will produce children or not. Sangers fight for birth control started when she was 19 and didn’t end till she was 81. She devoted her life to seeing it legalized and was extremely passionate about women being able to have it available to them in order for them to have a safer and healthier life.

The idea of birth control has been around since before the eighteenth century. However, those in control of it have changed over time leading to several positive and negative effects including seeking underground abortions and disguised labeling of products for contraception.

I picked a ridiculously silly subject title for this rather serious post (that is one of the best and funniest Mean Girls quote though). On a more serious note now, I believe that contraceptions and empowerment of women will help with slow the continued population growth. Sex is a natural act for people all over the world. Sadly, not all women are not educated about contraceptions, do not have access to contraceptions, not allowed to use contraceptions and some do not support the use of contraceptions (which is their right). The textbook discusses the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) which "focused on individual rights, especially women's rights, including their right to make reproductive decisions" (410). The conference also discusses the important of educating women and educated women typically engage in safe sex and have more access to family-planning methods. Contraceptions and family-planning is still a prominent topic today in the United States; however, women typically in the middle east and third world countries have no real access to these preventions at all. According to a New York Times article on birth control by Nicholas Christof, "women in Afghanistan, Chad, Congo, Somalia, East Timor and Ugana all have six or more child each, the U.N. says. In rural Africa, I've come across women who have never heard of birth control. According to estimates from the Guttmacher Institute, a respected

One of the many purposes of birth control is to avoid unwanted pregnancies. In this day and age the decision to take birth control should be a mere right and not a debate, but society has still not fully accepted the use of birth control even though “ninety-eight percent of women use birth control at some point in their lives” (Milligan, 2014, p. 3). Birth control has unfortunately earned a negative stigma because it allows women to have sex without getting pregnant and that is frowned upon throughout parts of society. Some members of society have even compared the use of birth control to abortion. Women who choose to take birth control should not be judged and the use of birth control amongst women should no longer be considered disgraceful. The reliable access to birth control should be made available to all women no matter their race, age, and class.

The decision to have or not to have a child is a life-changing a decision that every woman deserves to be able to make for herself and take action to follow through on that. Meaning, if a woman chooses that either at this point or in her life as a whole she does not wish for her a child it is her basic right to access anything required to follow through on that. Access to all birth control methods means that women can live their lives the way they choose without the interruption of a child at a less than ideal time. With no similar product yet available to men it falls to the women make the decision to use this safe and reliable medication and make it part of her routine. Many reasons may lead a woman to not want children; whether for personal or economic reasons access to birth control allows a woman to continue to live her life how she chooses without risking

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.

According to the Oxford American College Dictionary, power is the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. In order to gain the most power humanly possibly you do not have to be remembered, your action needs to be remembered. Power is the ability to help others benefit out of an action. If given the opportunity to go back in time to irrevocably alter the future, I would take the opportunity to invent the birth control pill in advance of time.

Women in today’s society have never known a time when contraceptive options were not available to them. As a general statement, acquiring some sort of contraceptives whether it is the pill, patch, condom, emergency contraception, or another of the many types of birth control is not difficult with the many options available to women today. However, backtrack to the early 1900’s and the story was completely different. In 1916, Margaret Sanger made contraceptive history by opening the first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. The fight for birth control began. It was not until years later in 1960 that the birth control pill was approved by the Food and Drug Administration and since then many other varieties of birth control have made their way into the market (Kim & Wasik, 2011). Today, thanks to those like Margaret Sanger who fought for contraceptives, women and couples who wish to avoid pregnancy have more choices than ever before. (Egarter et al, 2013; Perry, 2015).

Janet Smith clearly throws at you that there is. People who are taking contraceptives are either not aware of the deadly effects of these drugs or afraid of being told their opinion is wrong compared to others. Society believes these contraceptives are helping out the youth and adolescents; however they’re causing more harm than good. Ultimately, the use of contraceptives are up to the individuals although I feel that there are better options out today in regards to the longevity, safety and health of

Many women today use birth control. It is something that has been around since the ancient times; however, it has become more safe and effective in the twentieth century. There is a variety of birth control, otherwise known as contraceptives, and women will choose one which best suits their needs. There are places such as Planned Parenthood who try and provide forms of free birth control so women around the United States are able to grab it fast and comfortably. Some forms, however, are somewhat expensive; they may be up to thousands of dollars and that is hard for most people to pay for. If the women have jobs that provide insurance, the insurance companies would most likely be able to cover a certain amount of the cost so that it would be

Birth control. Most of the women in America have tried some type of birth control during their lifetime. Currently, we are having debates to see if birth control should be free or at a lower cost to citizens. Why do we need birth control if we already have condoms? Do we really have affordable birth control? Can we get it easily? Does it do more than just prevent pregnancies? If birth control really helping women and the economy? In this research paper, I will be going over these questions. Birth control is a benefit to modern society and we have benefited from it greatly.

I picked the topic of Birth Control Technologies because I am very interested in seeing how things have changed over time whether positive or negative when it comes to birth control. I do believe the usage of birth control is important when it comes to helping control the growth of the population. What other purposes does it serve? How did it become such a politically driven issue? Government always feels the need to step in and control people’s lives but is it really necessary. It also has become evident that women are pressured into taking precautions when it comes to sex and reproduction. Whereas, men are not required to have the same responsibility even though several different methods of contraception have been
