Why the Birth Control Debate Isn't Really About Birth Control - 0 views

    Last week, if you squinted your eyes and tilted your head a little bit to the right, you might have thought America had magically traveled back in time to the 1950s (or 1850s). The recent shift in the political conversation to contraception has been not only surprising but, for many, downright disturbing (bone-chilling, WTF, "what kind of documentation do I need to move to Canada?" This article explores the hidden issue of birth control. What started out innocent enough allowing certain institutions to not participate in providing birth control for their employees has turned into a debate on whether women deserve it or not. Taking birth control does not promote promiscious activities and it is used for other means other than preventing pregnancy.

  • I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.

      This statement by Mr. Grisanti, who once opposed same sex marriage, brings forth very valid points; other than their sexual preferences - same sex couples live their lives and abide by the same laws that heterosexual couples do. Why then should gay couples be seen as different under the eyes of the law?

    This article states why smoking in public was banned. Though, having the choice to smoke when and where you want is a personal freedom that has been taken away. There are seperate sections of buildings when smoking was allowed. If you don't like it, choose not to do it.

    Many states in the US have banned smoking in public places due to public health concerns. Second hand smoke had become is dangerous and has become more talked about.

    as part of our personal freedoms women should be allowed to have an abortion, or as many as they want.Many American believe abortion freedom is as important as the right to free speech, and the right to vote.

    I don't believe that, why should a woman be allowed numerous abortions? These women need to take precautionary measures so they don't end up in the same situation.
  • Alexandria Miles on 31 Aug 13
     
    I believe abortion is a personal freedom. Why is it anybody else's business of what YOU decide what to do with YOUR body? Don't get me wrong, I do not necessarily think that someone should do it, but it is not my choice. It is theirs. It's kind of like gay marriages - if it is not a problem in your everyday life, then don't worry about it! Also, people always protest it until they are put into the situation - it's scary and life changing and some people are just not ready for that kind of responsibility. To be honest, and as bad as this sounds, I rather allow abortions to be done if the individual knows for a fact that they can't take care of the child.

    Abortion has always been a tough topic and I still have yet to decide on a solid answer. When you hear of women getting raped and pregnant its hard to tell them that they should have the baby. That would probably be the only case in which I believe abortion would be some what okay. On one side I believe it is a woman's right to do as she pleases with her own body, but at the same time she's not only making a decision for herself but also for what could be a baby. Your stopping a human from having a chance at life. I understand that some women may not be ready to take on such a responsibility but I would rather support adoption over abortion. As far as numerous abortions go, I think that if a women would ever need more than one then she should probably take a sex education class.

    The freedom for a women to choose to have an abortion is her personal freedom its should remain her and only hers. This freedom has been allowed to women by the scarifice of thousands of women before us.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    This topic is a difficult one to discuss. I feel as if birth and pregnancy is a miracle and its such a beautiful thing. Women able to be pregnant should be proud and feel blessed as some women aren't as grateful. I feel as if their is no excuse to take an infants life for the mothers fault. The only time i feel that there should be a debate about it is if the woman was raped.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    The right for a women to get an abortion or even several abortions is ultimately one of her personal freedoms. There are many different scenarios that happen that lead to an abortion and who are we to questions anyone about to get one? Its a woman's private decision and freedom and should be left that way.

    Only 37% of raped women who apply for Medicaid funded abortions get the money. It is believed that rape exceptions are there to relieve anti-choice consciences more than they are there to make sure women in need get abortions.

    This article is biased but lots of good information about HOAs. The author is against HOAs and makes it clear in the first few sentances. He does give a lot of informative information about how HOAs work and the consequenses that come with them. He also talks about the fact that you don't have a choice in whether or not you can be part of an HOA.

    This article was very interesting! I'm glad that these young adults have people that are advocating for them because I don't think that it is right for them to be forced into the same deportation units as other illegals, just because they didn't have a choice in the matter.

    I definitely believe each one of these coverages are important and should be offered to everyone. I personally work a job in the service industry, which I understand is my choice, and I do not have any of these available to me and it can be very stressful at times.

    A big part of planned parenthood is the abortion aspect. It's more than just that. About 3% of people that go through them are there for abortions. The most popular part of planned parenthood is the contraception which makes up about 33%. People should have the options that planned parenthood gives you. Someone out there has too give people the services they provide and taking away the funding isn't right.

    Abortion doesn't sound good in any sense, but as humans we should have the right to do as we please. There are aboslutly some circumstances where people need the choice. i do not agree with abusing the right, people can't be getting pregnant every couple months and throwing the life away.

    Choosing abortion is not a choice any woman is excited about or wants to choose but sometimes it is the only option. "Ending Planned Parenthood goes against the fundamental values of equality, mutual respect, and human rights that our country stands for."
