There are many birth control methods and certain ones may not be worth the risk. Essure may not be as safe as it sounds. The device fails more than 10 percent of the time and has lifelong injuries that come with it.

Most forms of birth control are very risky. Unfortunately, due to various health issues, many women are limited when it comes to birth control options, and the acceptable forms are typically the more risky ones (such as the birth control implant or an IUD). Essure is of the more dangerous forms, as it is experimental, but many others have had similar issues, such as the device coming out of place and roaming through a woman's body. Not every woman on birth control has these issues, but it's important to be very well educated on the potential risks before starting any form of birth control, especially if it involves a foreign object that could become dislodged.

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

The Obama administration's rule requiring employer health plans to cover birth control without a co-payment has given rise to a slew of lawsuits by private companies claiming the mandate attacks religious freedom.

More and more groups are becoming opposed to birth control, which is directly related to Catholic teachings. Catholics teachings do not accept birth control, but they do not try to hide access to them. This seems strange, but is actually key to family planning in Culture Wars and some Christian traditions.

In a way, no. Today, 40 years after birth control became legal and five decades after the pill's introduction, there is a worldwide problem around women's access to birth control. While, religious people have always been aginst birth control, they are now getting republicans and presidential candidates involved.

Planned parenthood does more than just abortions. Getting rid of the government funding for planned parenthood makes it so much harder for people who can't afford healthcare to get tested for STD's or to even get birth control. This is not something that needs to be taken away.

This article discusses the benefits of paid paternity leave. Fathers are more likely to be more involved in child rearing if they take parental leave to bond.

I was in agreement until they started throwing in, it makes you a better father and gender equality. I have four kids, no paternity leave, and I bathe them, help with homework, and change diapers. Paternity leave helps progress women? Far reach.

Pros and cons to fathers getting maternity leave depending on the family and if its paid too of course. My opinion is if you have other small children who need to be attended to after just giving birth, need assistants due to some complications after giving birth or if a father wants to share 6 wks at home with his new baby then why not give them maternity leave? Then you have independent women who don't need dad at home getting in the way or adding to her list of chores all while caring for a new baby. If my husband was on maternity leave I would have a "honey-do list" for him, diaper changing tasks and cooking meals.

Original: Younger children are also at risk for polio, rubella, and mumps until they are old enough to be vaccinated. Considering that there are about 4,000,000 births a year in the United States, that puts a lot of infants at risk for measles, pertussis, and other vaccine-preventable diseases. For measles, as kids aren't fully protected until they get their second dose of the MMR vaccine when they are about 4-years-old, that means an additional 12,000,000 toddlers and preschoolers are potentially at risk. Paraphrase: Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are putting other young children who are not old enough to be vaccinated in danger of getting polio, mumps, and rubella. In the United States, there are around four million births every year. Taking this into consideration that means infants everywhere are being put at risk for many vaccine-preventable diseases every day.
