Family planning

Planned Parenthood Funding Planned parenthood was founded by nurse, educator, and activist Margaret Sanger. She had the revolutionary idea that all women should have control of their own bodies and lives. The first birth control center was opened on October 16th, 1916 by Margaret and her two sisters. These women wanted to provide advice and birth control information to the women in their community and because of this, the clinic was raided by the police and the women were charged for sharing birth

health information, STD testing, and screenings (“Other Planned”). Private health care is owned and operate by a private individual that can also belong to larger corporations. When it comes to funding, Planned parenthood uses federal funding for family planning services. The money comes in forms of government grants and contracts. Funds also come from private donors that contribute to a quarter of the organization's revenue(“Other Planned”). Most private clinics depend on the charging of the patents

contraception. The Millennium Development Goals for 2015 called for universal access to contraception by the end of 2015, and while some progress has been made, it doesn’t seem that the goal will be achieved. In 2012, however, at the London Summit on Family Planning some momentum was gained on the matter. The summit brought together governments, civil society groups, multinational organizations, and the private sector who all committed to

According to Melanie Asriel, “The lack of family planning and contraceptive use has contributed to this problem…contraception, education, and the including of available abortion…all kinds of education, such as, sex education, contraceptive education… would be my solution to an over-population problem” (M. Asriel, personal communication, 04 October 2017). Melanie Asriel views a overpopulation problem stems from a lack of education in family planning,

exponentially high birth rates. To combat China’s growing population, government officials enforced an anti-natalist policy known as the One-Child Policy. Ultimately, the policy “amounted to an assault on China’s system of gender norms and roles” (“Family Planning”). With the implementation of China’s One Child Policy, sex preference among babies has become evident. Socially, it has been the duty of a woman to “obey her father as a child; her husband as a married person; and her son as a widow” (“Confucianism:

This policy limits all families in the Republic of China to have only one child, regardless of the sex: however, within this policy there are some exceptions. It is possible to have two children only if the first child is born with a disability, if parents work in a high risk job, if the couple lives in villages, or if the family is a non- Han, otherwise you are

Mike Revzin, a journalist who lived in China, he assist the American population to learn more about China with his ChinaSeminars.com programs. It appeared that the Chinese government was continually interfering into family planning across China. The one child policy is not the first time. Mao Zedong, who served as chairman of the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1959, encouraged the population to multiply and create manpower, shortly after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China

in slowing down the population growth, but it has caused great anguish among Chinese families. Matt Rosenberg explains how one of the problems facing China in recent years is overpopulation. The Chinese government needed to make a policy to cope with the growing numbers of Chinese citizens.

reproductive rights are a global issue in today’s world. Women have to fight to have the right to regulate their own bodies and reproductive choices, although in some countries their voices are ignored. Abortion, sterilization, contraceptives, and family planning services all encompass this global issue of women’s reproductive rights. In India, women are being manipulated to stop having children after their second birth. Officials claim that by regulating population and the pregnancies of women after

Should the Government Defund Planned Parenthood? About a century ago, a small birth-control clinic was opened by Margaret Sanger in Brooklyn, New York. Women and families travelled to this clinic to learn about contraceptives and the perils of self-administered abortions. This was unheard of at the time, to teach a woman how to stop pregnancy in a world where the highest aspiration of a woman was supposed to become a mother. However, very soon after this clinic opened, Sanger was put incarcerated
