Childfree By Choice Analysis
The article “Childfree by Choice,” written by Kelly J. Welch, puts up a pretty good argument about living childfree. This trend is moving throughout the US. The number of women age 40 – 44 without children has doubled in the last 30 years. This trend is popularized by A-list celebrities that have opted to remain childfree. The childfree by choice movement is not always the best way to go. As the proud father of two, I do not support the childfree by choice movement. Being a parent changes you for the better. It shows you true unconditional love. You will do anything for your children’s happiness. Watching your children grow and develop from infants to young adults is very rewarding. It fills you with a sense of accomplishment when

    Teddy Wayne No Kids For Me Analysis

    The number of childless adults has increased since the mid 70s due to reasons such as location, expense, women having jobs, and how society portrays parenting. The article “No Kids For Me, Thanks” by Teddy Wayne provides examples of people who agree and disagree with refusing to add to the gene pool and why. Kate Bolick, for instance, says, “If I had kids, I can’t see doing it in New York City. Not just because I couldn’t afford it, but because I don’t like the idea of raising a child in the epicenter of class disparity and extreme wealth.” The media also affects adults’ decisions about having children by creating reality shows or writing articles that depict parenting as a tiring, frustrating task.…

    Does the American Family Have a History?

    A revolution has taken place in family life since the late 1960s. Today, two-thirds of all married women with children--and an even higher proportion of single mothers--work outside the home, compared to just 16 percent in 1950. Half of all marriages end in divorce--twice the rate in 1966 and three times the rate in 1950. Three children in ten are born out of wedlock. Over a quarter of all children now live with only one parent and fewer than half of live with both their biological mother and father. Meanwhile, the proportion of women who remain unmarried and childless has reached a record high; fully twenty percent of women between the ages of 30 and 34 have not married and over a quarter have had no children, compared to six and eight percent, respectively, in 1970.…

    In Defense Of Single Motherhood Analysis

    Anybody is capable of accomplishing anything they please do to. A single parent always has the choice to work to be financially stable. Yes, its true that it may be difficult to enough money to support a child, but it’s not impossible be financially stable as a single mother, if you work for it. “Attention should be paid to the serious underlying economic inequalities, without the colorful service distraction of concerned or judgmental prurience” (Roiphe 60). If the single mother of a family is okay financially, they are able to live a comfortable life with no stress, just as the “typical” American family is able too.…

    Poverty And Inequality In The Ms. Delta

    If a man got a woman pregnant the couple got married and in 1960 in America thirty percent of brides gave birth within eight and a half months of the wedding, according to (June Carbone of the University of Minnesota and Naomi Cahn of George Washington University). In those days the husband’s responsibility was to work and earn money for the family and the wife’s was to raise the children and to take care of the home. According to Ms. Carbone and Ms. Cahn, “more than eighty percent of wives with young children stayed at home in 1960.” Couples ended their relationship for different reasons and I believe being a single mother is much better than living with an abusive spouse. But the lack of financial stability hurts women, children and men which can put a strain on relationships making the environment extremely…

    Killing the life of an innocent child is not the only alternative. Adoption is a wonderful alternative.

    Women In The Progressive Era

    The author of Women and Economics, Gilman, expresses in her book that women work longer and harder than most men, and not solely in maternal duties. She also argued, women experienced not fulfillment but oppression, and the house wife was an unproductive parasite, little more than a servant to her husband and children. She goes on to explain that women want to be more independent, and because of this there is proof that change has come. Many young girls out in the United States that want to be independent and wish to have a career that does not involve them giving birth to children until the day they die. Cue in Sanger the author of “Free Motherhood,” who risked and did go to jail because she sold birth control to women who were poor and could not afford to have another child.…

    What Children Need

    I would have never thought that there was an actual good reason to just give birth to a child. I suppose if it were certain circumstances where a woman could not have a child and wanted a surrogate mother, that’s a good reason to have another woman give birth to a child. And don’t get me wrong, I love children and I can’t wait to have them but I never thought there would be a good reason besides “I want something cute to hold onto all day.” I do believe there are right and wrong times to have babies though. First and most important, both potential parents WANT to have a baby. I also believe the parents should be financially stable with solid jobs. Sometimes it doesn’t happen that way and the children turn out perfectly fine, but it’s just something I would want before I have children.…

    Argumentative Essay Birth Controll Access

    Not everyone is ready to be a mother. Even at almost 30 I can honestly say I am not sure I am ready. I have a steady job and good insurance so paying for my contraceptive comes easy. Not everyone is as lucky. I couldn’t image myself being a mother and being responsible for another life at the age of 15 or even younger. There are millions of girls out there who cannot afford the cost of birth control and do not have access to it. We cannot force them to abstain from sex but what we can do is make is easier for them to get a contraceptive and hopefully reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies. Local pharmacies such as Walgreen’s, CVS and even the grocery store should provide free birth control to those who want it no questions ask. If contraceptives were more readily available the amount of unwanted and teen pregnancies would decrease. The cost and the numbers are shocking, the solution is simple.…

    Licensing Parents Essay

    The idea of licensing parents should not be based on the idea of population control, but as a teaching tool. Who knows, I may not speak for everyone, but I am sure that there are people thinking this might violate basic human rights in one way or another. We do not like the government meddling in our personal business and I get it. This is a serious topic that needs serious results. The right to have children is a freedom of choice. It takes a conscience person that is in control of their lives to make a well informed decision about having a child. People who are expecting children or even thinking about having a child must anticipate how much commitment they will be providing.…
