Persuasive Essay On Birth Control

Margaret Sanger was a controversial and historical nurse. She lived during a time of revolutionary change when the women’s rights movement was in full motion. Born in 1879, to a large impoverished family, she was the sixth of eleven children. Sanger was part of a family of devoted Catholics. During that time it was a common practice for women to birth as many children as possible. As a result, she was a witness to the effects of diseases, miscarriages, and multiple pregnancies that eventually led to her mother’s premature death. This had a significant impact on her ideologies. She eventually became known for advocating women’s reproductive rights and founding what is now known as Planned Parenthood.

I. Introduction. There are many remarkable personalities in our history, which made revolutionary changes in women’s lives. Two of them were Margaret Sanger and Eleanor Roosevelt. They contributed immensely to change the women’s fates and lives and to position them equally with men. Margaret Sanger was born in 1879, in Corning, New York; she was sixth of eleven children of Michel Higgins, an Irish Catholic stonecutter, and religious Anne Purcell Higgins. Her mother went through eighteen pregnancies and died at the age of forty-eight. She studied nursing in White Plains and worked as nurse in one of the poorest neighborhood of New York. In 1902 Margaret Sanger married architect and radical William Sanger. She didn’t finish her studying. Margaret gave birth to three children. In 1912 Sanger’s family moved to Manhattan. All her life Margaret Sanger was a courageous, dedicated and persistent American birth control activist, advocate of eugenics, and the founder of the American Birth Control League. She was first woman opening the way to universal access to birth control.

Women spend over 37 million dollars on birth control annually, making it one of the most prescribed drugs on the market. 10,540,000 women are currently on some type of orally ingested birth control. Although only a few side effects are harmful, there are some rare cases of death from birth control. 23 women in the United States died from the common birth control pill, Yaz or Yasmin, just in this past year. So how safe are women that take this?

In the United States 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. Is birth control not easy enough to get? Since 1960 the birth control pill has been approved for contraceptive use. However, women haven't been able to get a hold of the contraceptive without a doctor's prescription. The law has been the same since the pill came out, shouldn't their be a change? The distribution of birth control pills behind the counter would be beneficial to many women's lives. The pill being more easy to get would make busy women's lives easier, as they wouldn't have to go to the doctor to get the prescription. This form of contraceptive is also safe with little to no side effects with more benefits. The biggest thing that the pill would change is prevention of unplanned pregnancy, but money is holding all of this back.

In our society today, the topic of birth control and other contraceptives for teens is a stirring debate. Teens are more promiscuous and sexually active than ever before; as early as middle school, we are seeing more teenage pregnancies, STD’s, and abortions than ever. Teenagers are not comfortable discussing their sexual activity with their parents and as a result they are seeking out other ways to gain access to birth control and other forms of contraceptives without parental consent. Access to birth control reduces the number of unintended teenage pregnancies and abortions each year, and access to birth control also fuels teenage promiscuity and encourages sex outside of marriage.

Parents should be supportive to the child no matter what the situation can be or how hard it is to understand. The guardians of the minor have the right to know where they go and with whom they spend time with. This does not necessarily mean they can decide when their child should be ready to be sexually active. Regardless, it is going to occur when they feel that the moment is right. Birth control is not only valuable in protecting young teens getting pregnant, but also has its health advantages. To add to that, the child may want to begin taking birth control before they do so, but it becomes a very uncomfortable and awkward topic for a child to discuss with their parents. There are many unsupportive parents that become sensitive to this topic, and may deny birth control to their daughters. In other words, birth control should be available to teenage girls without parental consent.

The goverments use of birth control has been very controversial in the past. It orignally began as a way for the government to give funds to support population control but the Cathlic church disagreed with those methods. Multplie Acts have been involved with distributing controceptives over time.

I believe that the morning after pill should be sold over the counter to people under the age of seventeen without a prescription. If you’re young and afraid of ending up pregnant this is the perfect opportunity. Most people complain that young women are getting pregnant, but if they accidently have unprotected sex, condom breaks, miss a birth control pill, or you get sexually assaulted then you should be able to receive this pill to help you at least try reduce the chances of you ending up pregnant.

Margaret Sanger was widely credited with first using the term "birth control." She was a trained nurse who worked in New York City's poorer neighborhoods. Sanger credited her experience working with the poor, that it convinced her to make information about birth control more available.

Have you ever needed something really bad and not been able to get it? This is how many women feel about birth control, because it can be very hard to get. Statistics show that 80% of women use birth control for more than just having protected sex. These women can vary from ages starting as low as 12 all the way up until a woman is 50 to 60. A woman can start taking birth control when they start their period. Birth control releases hormones that stop ovulation which prevents an egg from being released. Birth control pills are mostly viewed as just for sex and a way to get away with having sex. Usually the people who believe this are usually parents and especially men. Many of those people don’t know, there are many other uses for birth control. Birth control pills can be used for health related problems such as a lightened period and hormone control. Prices of birth control can be very expensive and many people do not know that birth control comes in many different forms. Depending on the different type of birth control a person would get depends on the price. The pill is the cheapest form of birth control, but the pill is most effective. Many times insurance will not completely cover the costs of birth control. For this reason, birth control pills should be sold to not only teenage girls, but grown women.

In recent months Donald Trump and his administration are trying to make it so that virtually any employer can claim a religious or moral objection to Obamacare's birth control coverage mandate under the new policy. Trump has said that the coverage of contraception could lead to more “risky sexual behavior” among some teenagers and young women. Birth control isn’t just used as a pregnancy contraceptive, for many women it is used to control reproductive health, treat debilitating symptoms, and improve your quality of life. Some of the most common uses of birth control are to deal with painful/heavy periods and ovarian cysts, treat menstrual migraines, deal with the symptoms of perimenopause, help treat the symptoms of endometriosis and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), to control PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), regulating your hormones and mood disorder, improve your mental health, and helps with acne. With this new policy some women will have to pick up their own bill for their birth control, which in many cases will cause birth control to be less accessible to many women in need of it.

Many teens try to find love but lust is not the solution to all problems in fact your first time should be special and meaningful .Others don't see this as so and the misuse of the birth control pill cycle continues . I believe that the reason for this is because it can be purchased anywhere .“To shift public attention, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney played the economy card. His wife tells him that “the economy” is what women truly care about in today's society but as she states treating contraception and the economy as separate issues is highly unlikely, because of there being so many issues in the government .”But don't pertain to contraception as her husband is making it out to be . Access to birth control makes it possible

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?
