Pro Life was against the partnership of Komen with Planned Parenthood mainly due to its abortion services. However in 2011 Komen defended her partnership with the Planned Parenthood by stating that it was the best option for treatment for the poor, minor and many uninsured women. Also there are statements that assured that the funding from the Komen to the Planned Parenthood was exclusively used for the breast cancer program. But due to extreme pressure the Komen was influenced to act in the favor of the prolife and finally posted a statement on its website on November 30, 2011 stating that it would no longer fund the embryonic stem cell research centers. In order to cope with the crisis situation Komen hired Ogilvy crisis management public

In the article “On Capitol Hill, a Push to Make the Pill Over the Counter” by Kimberly Leonard addresses one of the main topics being discussed in congress for the past year. That topic is whether or not oral contraceptives should be readily available to women in stores without a prescription. In June of 2015, the Affordability of Access Act was introduced to the House. This act would require that all health insurance companies cover all forms of birth control pills without the user needing a prescription from their doctor. Kimberly Leonard, the article’s author, uses a logical argument to not only backup the opinions of the congress member’s that want to see this happen but also uses arguments that help to back up the member’s that do not

I hope you're having a great summer and enjoying the fantastic weather! We've got some exciting events coming up for you to meet other Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin supporters, discuss feminist issues, and help out PPWI.

Women have been using birth control methods for over thousands of years. Today, we have various effective birth control methods available to woman. Such as the pill, patch, shot, or IUD. Birth control is a safe way to prevent pregnancy. You can purchase birth control at your doctor’s office, planned parenthood, a clinic, or a public health care provider. They will first discuss your medical history with you, then check your blood pressure and finally you will discuss which birth control method is right for you, and they will send you on your way with your prescription. Birth control can be purchased at your local drugstore and costs up to 50 dollars. In a lot of cases though, young girls and even older women cannot afford or access these types of birth control. There are concerns about being unemployed which results in no income coming in for birth control, lack of health insurance the woman may have and whether or not the woman can afford having a child, even more during an economic crisis. By having women’s birth control free it will not only decrease the chances of abortion, help women financially , help with women’s menstrual cycle, and also by lowering the teen pregnancy rate, and having them have the power to decide when they want to have children. Many people can argue that the government shouldn’t have to provide another free service and that the cost

Teenage pregnancy is linked to many critical social issues, such as poverty, lack of education, out-of-wedlock births, health issues, education, child welfare, and overall child well-being. These issues have been a social problem for decades, but it wasn’t until recent years when it emerged from being social invisibility to becoming an urgent crisis. “In 1995, in his State of the Union address, President Bill Clinton singled out teenage

Birth control has been a controversial topic since the 1960’s, when the pill arose on the scene and gained popularity. Men and women of certain religious faiths have sought to prevent other women from using birth control. However, most women want to be able to choose when the time is right for them to have a child. This is why birth control is essential, because it allows women and couples in general the freedom to choose and plan their families. In many cases the need to control women by controlling their access to birth control goes all the way to the federal government. The federal government determines what types of birth control are allowed on the market and who has access to them. Some Presidential administrations look more kindly

A total of 730,322 abortions were reported from the Centers for Disease Control in 2011. This could easily be resolved with proper usage of birth control. But the fact of the matter is that only 62% of women are actually using proper birth control, now this may seem like a lot of women, but there is 158.6 million women in the United States alone so 58.5 million are currently not on any birth control which is a huge amount of women. Birth control needs to be free and accessible, because the benefits of having women on birth control easily outweigh any of the cons that may come. My goal for this paper is to talk about the pros of having free and accessible birth control, which would be lower abortion rate, lower teenage pregnancy rate, and the many health benefits. I will also touch on the opposing side of this argument, which will be that, it will be too expensive, that abstinence is key, and that if birth control became free and accessible women would no longer go the doctor.

For my traditional argument, I will be writing about why birth control should able to all women regardless of insurance providers. The facts and statements in this article will help me prove that there are several health benefits to using contraceptive devices. Several people believe that there is only one benefit to birth control, which is pregnancy prevention. This article will help me explain the other benefits that birth control can provide. Since there are several health benefits discussed in this article, it will help strengthen my argument and possibly convince others that contraceptive devices should be available to all

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of restrictive contraceptive legislation on unintended teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy has declined steadily over the past 40 years, however in the past decade the rate of pregnancy among adolescents is rising. Restrictive contraceptive legislation such as abstinence only education, mandatory waiting periods, parental notification laws, or Medicaid funding restrictions could all play a part in the increase of pregnancy in teenagers. One study found funding for abstinence-only education programs were linked to increased birth rates among black and white adolescents (Yang & Gaydos, 2010). Another study found restrictive contraceptive legislation resulted in higher unintended pregnancy rates among adolescents. The implication of this review is state and federal policies should focus on improving education regarding contraception use and forming policies which improve access to abortion.

One of birth control’s biggest shifts in the U.S came with the release of the new contraceptive pill and it not only shaped the view of women, but birth control also altered a woman’s economic status, religious views, and even her political status. The pill served as a liberating factor for women and helped women achieve sexual and professional self-realization.

In recent years, healthcare has become a common topic of debate with numerous aspects and concerns as well as multiple proposed solutions and opposing viewpoints. A common facet of health care that is notorious for causing controversy is contraceptives, particularly the question of whether or not birth control should be provided free of cost. Many believe that if birth control were more readily available, there would not only be a decrease in unplanned and unwanted pregnancies, but more women would have access to the benefits birth control can offer outside of pregnancy prevention. On the other hand, others believe that birth control is not a viable health concern and should not be mandatory to provide free of cost as it is a personal matter

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.

Baker argues birth control reaps many unseen benefits. She followed an experiment in St. Louis to test which type of contraceptive method “poor and/or uninsured women” would use. After seeing the results, she concluded women almost always chose the most effective, yet expensive option; implants. The study proved women are more likely to choose effective options, but cannot afford the products to protect themselves. When the options are available, cheap, and accessible, women engaging in sexual activity have their wellbeing in mind. The Washington University in St. Louis experimented an extensive study which concluded, “free birth control leads women to lower rates of abortions and teen births”(Baker pg 1). The study proves that not only do women not have the money, or insurance to pay for birth control, but they also seek safe sex. Women who almost always chose implants, usually costing hundreds of dollars, received them for free and ultimately prefered the most protective option. Giving women the option to any form of birth control relieved the rates of abortions significantly with only “...4.4 to 7.5 abortions per 1,000 women in the study, as opposed to...20 abortions per 1,000 women in the country” (Baker pg 2). The rates of abortion are notably lower and the women of St. Louis are having safer sex. However, birth control can not sell at an entirely free rate, due to the harsh effects the market would

The first article came from the Dallas Observer and is titled, “Here’s How to Fix Texas’ Sky-High Teen Pregnancy Rate” (http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/heres-how-to-fix-texas-sky-high-teen-pregnancy-rate-7626551). The author of the article, Eric Nicholson, is extremely critical of Texas’ sexual education program and voices his criticism with heavy use of sarcasm. This September 28, 2015 article was prompted by Texas’ recent decision to provide low-income teenagers with access to free birth control. The author praises the decision and is hopeful it will help reduce Texas’ high birthrate which “puts Texas in the company of such bastions of progressive public-health policy as Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma.” Mr. Nicholson also notes that five Dallas ZIP codes recently received a loan from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to help combat teen pregnancy. While he is optimistic that these changes will reduce the teen pregnancy rate, he also points out that “expanding access to contraception and improving education … are hardly groundbreaking techniques in the fight against unintended pregnancy.” For Mr. Nicholson, these are nothing but first steps which should have been taken long ago. He then proceeds to discuss five ways in which Texas can do even more to combat the high teen pregnancy rates in Texas.
