Who Is The Pill: Is It Helpful Or Harmful?

Over the counter birth control pills have been a topic of discussion for many women. Some might say it would pose many risks such as not receiving medical checkups and not knowing the side effects of birth control pills. Others may see it as a helpful to women because of the convenience of accessing the pills and not having to take time to schedule appointments. Additionally, due to health care and insurance policies some women might not have an easy access to birth control pills but the cost should not be a factor. Although over the counter birth control would allow an easier access for women, there are reasons why a doctor’s visit and a prescription are required to receive birth control pills.

My vision is to educate women on the importance of birth control and to teach the public that women have a choice on whether or not they want to have children. After witnessing my mother go through several miscarriages and die from the exhaustion of bearing too many children, I decided to become a nurse in order to help those facing the same problems. I went to work in New York City for the poor, and it was there that I saw how badly these women suffered. They were much too poor to support another child and were therefore having abortions in secret. Many of these abortions were traumatizing to the women, both physically and emotionally. I decided to focus on controlling this problem and wanted to find a new form of contraceptive that would

Has birth control helped our women or been an affliction for them ? In 1950, a lady whose name is Margaret Sanger underwrote the research to create the first birth control pill. “She raised $150,000 for the project. 1960 The first oral contraceptive, Enovid, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as contraception (Sanger 24)”. I am looking forward to initiate what people views are from the perspective of birth control and if it has helped the society and if it hasn’t why do they think otherwise.

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.

Though people throughout history have always attempted to prevent unwanted pregnancies, the recent development of safer and more affordable birth control methods and society’s evolving beliefs about sex has led to an entirely new area of health care that would have been heavily criticized just a few generations ago. Society’s acceptance of sex outside of the context of marriage has lead to an increase in casual sex and sex had strictly for pleasure (Vrangolova, 2014). Birth control has been used to help prevent unwanted pregnancies so that users can engage in sex whenever they please without worry. However, because adolescents are included in this group of people, health care providers must consider the ethics of prescribing birth control

From the time when it became available the near the beginning of the 1960s, oral contraceptives, commonly called "the pill," have opened possibilities that had were shut to females for all of times gone by. Possibly more than any other sole factor, the pill has made it likely for women to be in charge of of their own lives and to attain their prospects. Nowadays, 100 million women all over the world use the pill. Nonetheless, there are emergencies ensuing from rape or failure to use contraceptive plans. There are in addition emergencies ensuing from accidental consensual sex. In spite of everything, the human sexual desire was fashioned by evolution to guarantee procreation, and it works extremely fine. Given the correct psychological stimulants, pretty much everyone, counting presidents of the United States and well-known religious leaders, will jeopardize it all for an illicit sexual rendezvous (Drazen, et al. 2004). To be adamant that society rely exclusively on self-restraint more willingly than contraception is to refute a nature beside which the gods themselves are unable to compete. The whole history of humanity can be interpreted as evidence to the influence of that nature.

Everyone has heard the saying, “history repeats itself”. We’ve seen it time and time again from multiple Stock Market crashes, reasons for starting wars, to even patterns in fashion and music. The debates contraception poses proves to be no exception. While opinions differ from person to person based on their religious beliefs, political standing, and physical health condition, the argument always seems to be whether or not contraception should be easily accessible. This topic has been discussed since the early 1900’s, and is showing no signs of being solved anytime soon. Currently, the argument surrounding birth control is whether or not the government should be providing it at little to no cost for those who cannot afford it. It is hard

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.

Birth Control is a global contraceptive that has been in use for more than 50 years. When Birth Control first came about in 1960 it was approved for married couples only, now over 10 million women married or single use this method. Most women complain about the harsh side effects of birth control but they rather put up with them before they risk having an unplanned pregnancy. Side effects such as weight gain and mood changes play a major role in the decision of birth control use. There is a saying that says, “If you knew better you would do better” most women do not even know better so they

For many decades women have faced the issue of birth control along and women rights. Not being able to have a voice in matters that concern their personal life as well as their health, women were subjected to doing what society thought was morally appropriate like getting married and having children while giving up their right to receive an education or go to work. Women who were not ready to have children at that time relied on birth control which is a contraceptive that is used to prevent pregnancies. Many women found themselves battling the issue of their sexual lives been put into question simply because they chose to use birth control. Author Rickie Solinger stated “many believe that a woman’s decision

Since its implementation in 2010, President Barack Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) has been a popular controversial topic in ethical and political affairs. Besides its requirements that employers must offer the approved insurance plans and employees must purchase them, its most disputed issue is the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate, more commonly known as the contraception mandate. To summarize, all insurance agencies and plans must offer and cover the full cost at least one of the approved eighteen types of contraception in the PPACA, which excludes any form of abortionist procedures. For the last five years, this mandate has been at the core of several court cases that question the supposed line between the

The arrival of the pill in the spring of 1960 heralded a new era in the long history of birth control, and it signalled an important, modern step towards bodily autonomy for women. For the first time there existed a method of contraception that separated birth control from the act of sexual intercourse, while having a nearly one hundred percent success rate. When the pill hit the market, at the peak of the baby boom, it was overwhelming mothers who rushed to get it. While some commentators feared that the pill would wreak havoc on morals and sexual behaviour (some even going as far to say that it would lead to adultery), others claimed that it would cure the social, sexual and political ills of the day. It was (bearing in mind the military metaphors that permeated the Cold War) the ‘magic bullet’ that would avert the explosion of the ‘population bomb’. By reducing the population, the pill would alleviate the conditions of poverty that led so many to embrace communism. It would also bolster the nuclear family with the promise of marital bliss, and in doing so, it would foster happy families - the key to social order. As one euphoric husband gushed, ‘With my wife on the pill, any moment is the right moment for love!’

People have different beliefs, religions, and traditions and these all cause us to do things a certain way. If we are raised believing having a big family is right then people tend to follow that path as they get older. Some people cannot use birth control due to religious reasons and we should respect that. I do not have to agree with it, but it is not any of my business. I feel as long as the children are being cared for there is not a problem. If a worker feels a child will repeat their mothers behaviors it is not our place to call the mother or child out on it. Saying remarks will only make the client less active in the conversation and prevent the family from receiving help.

Birth control up to this global has been a topic of contention. Abortion is still illegal in many countries, and the issue is still up for debate. Birth control and contraceptive pills, however, are common aspects of family planning. These have been helpful for not only families but also national governments in their bid to control population growth. To achieve this, however, down history, there have been numerous efforts by quite remarkable individuals who dedicated their lives to fight for women rights and birth control. Among such personalities is Margaret Sanger who is widely regarded as the mother of contraceptives and birth control (Watson). It is through the efforts of this fearless woman in collaboration with other like-minded individuals that contraceptive pills came to be and their subsequent legalization. As evidenced by her numerous campaigns based on feminism and women rights, she fought a hard battle in the process of legalizing birth control. This study paper investigates and establishes various aspects of her life and the subsequent achievements of her efforts.

Feedback has been very useful because the reviewer has different perspective and has not become used to reading the paper, so they easily spot mistakes and what needs to be fixed in order to have better paper. Especially when we used to do a group work and read each other thesis and try to see if this is good thesis or it needs to change. It was really helpful because I was able to see from different point of views to what I can add in my thesis or can change it to better my thesis. Overall I think my writng was good and during the group session I was able to see from different
