lowered. I am interested about how birth control has evolved, and the effects it has had on women socially and economically. The research begins before the 17th century; the primary purpose of contraceptives was to prevent disease, not pregnancy. During this time the Catholic Church in Europe does not recognize birth control aside from abstinence, causing citizens to break away from the church. By the 18th century doctors in France were educating men about birth control, and contraceptives were
Throughout this paper I will be talking about birth control and the deep history that has followed birth control throughout the years. There have been many ups and downs as birth control made its debut on the market. Birth control, also known as contraception is a specific device or method that is used to lessen and prevent the chance of pregnancy.

Prescription Birth Control Prescription birth control tends to be the most effective form of contraceptive. To get a prescription, you can visit a reproductive health clinic, such as a Public Health Family Planning Clinic or a Planned Parenthood Clinic, a family doctor, a gynecologist, or a community clinic. There are a variety of different types of prescription birth control to choose from. Some common options are the pill, the ring, the implant, and the shot. Prescription birth control pills are

this paper I will argue that female birth control should be covered by all private health insurance in the U.S. I chose this statement because after coming to college and befriending many women very passionate about this issue, I have become increasingly invested as well.

the United States. The history of birth control in the U.S. begins long before the infamous 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision affirming the legality of abortion.
