As a teen, we make quick and rash decisions without thinking about the consequences; sex being one of the big ones. Teens do not think about the repercussions. To minors, they just think if they mess up, they can just take the morning after pill within 72 hours and all their worries will be washed away. Plan B promotes carelessness with unsafe sex which can lead to a female having some form of an STD, a baby if the pill fails, and left to deal with the hormonal side effects.…

As the Supreme Court has ruled against the ObamaCare mandate recently, commonly referred as the The Affordable Care Act (ACA), many of the religious communities are overwhelmed about the decision and take it as a victory whereas others are outraged about this situation as women community will be greatly affected by the rulings of the court. It is a setback for the women society that in the name of religious liberty they will be deprived of their medical concerned issues. The companies that consist of religious ideology will be able to legitimize something that may harm others. Certainly these events will have constant series of effects on the society and as well as some changes may also occur in the legislation relating to ObamaCare. Obamacare covers twenty types of birth control, upon four of them; the court has objected (Tom Cohen, 2014).…
The implications that this will have on society, is that women will have the knowledge and power over their bodies. Because the birth control clinics are still fairly new, the hospitals are still not much help in education on pregnancy. These clinics are not only for educating women on prevention, but also on pregnancy care. Too many women are having complication and worse yet, dying from those complications because they did not have the knowledge or medical care…
In fall 2013, Jane Doe, was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital after being sexually assaulted on the campus of the University of Mississippi. During the six-hour examination, she was asked if she was on any form of birth control, she replied “no.” The nurse then told her that there was a possibility that she was pregnant, Jane Doe asked for levonorgestrel, commonly called “Plan B.” She was subsequently told that the hospital did not carry or prescribe levonorgestrel due to their right to religious freedom. Jane Doe personally contacted Planned Parenthood who were willing to bring her levonorgestrel to the hospital, but the hospital administration refused admittance to physicians and/or practitioners who worked for Planned Parenthood. Levonorgestrel…
Section 2 Part (e-f) would currently pass by the Supreme Court without issue. This part is dealing with providing of information about abortion or birth control at University Health Centers. The Rust v. Sullivan (1991) decision deals with a similar scenario where President Bush presents an executive order where no funding will be sent to Doctors that inform patients about abortion. According to the Court, this does not remove the option to get an abortion or birth control, it just removes the Doctor from giving information about it, similar to a teacher not being able to give information to students on religion. Now, because part (f) does deny the University Health Centers from disseminating birth control, this portion could run into a bit of trouble because it does limit where one could get their birth control from. However, President Smacksem and Senator Tellinemwhattodo may receive some help from the decision in Webster v. Reproductive Health Service (1989). That Court ruled that the Due Process clause does not automatically result in government aid being a right. In this current lawsuit, part (f) does not restrict the University Health Center from providing birth control, it is only removing the government aid to provide that birth control, meaning that the state has the authority to remove funding as long as they do not restrict the actual…
For this project, I would like to discuss the case of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey in 1992. This case was paramount in changing the way our country handles abortions. I think this topic will be very interesting and informative about how increasingly stringent abortion policies have affected the accessibility of abortions in this country for women. Additionally, it would be important to understand the implication this case had on the topic of women’s’ reproductive rights. First, I found this case interesting because before the results of this case were implemented, abortion rates in the United States were slowly on the rise. Right after this case allowed states to regulate abortion policies, the amount of abortions…
The court proposed its own settlement of the dispute and asked if that would make everybody happy. The new plan would be for employers to tell their insurers that they do not want their plan to have contraceptive coverage. The insurers then can turn around and offer the employees contraceptive coverage for the plan, at no cost to the insurers. Thus the employers would not have to taint themselves by asking for an exception, and the employees would still get their coverage. The sisters said they were happy with the courts compromise plan, as long as contraceptive coverage was “provided through a separate policy, with a separate enrollment process, a separate insurance card, and a separate payment source.”…
They would have forced 37 of the state's 42 clinics to close, according to opponents, making it very difficult for women in rural areas to obtain an abortion. (Corbis, Wendy Davis…
The article that I have picked to write about is “ Couples and the Male Birth Control Pill: A Future Alternative in Contraceptive Selection,” from the publication of The Journal of Sex Research. Written by William Marsiglio and Elizabeth G. Menaghan. First, the article focuses on male oral contraceptives, as to where the studied is conducted based on married couples selected from a newspaper. Secondly, the survey was put into two categories husbands that believed the woman was responsible for taking the contraceptive and husbands that would be opened to taking the responsibility of taking the contraceptive pill. When the researchers sent out the surveys they also included the diversity and when was the couple married and if they were expecting a child soon or not. Researchers, input the data making predictions throughout the years since the idea began in 1975-1980. In their data they included the sex roles of husbands more than wives. They also included spouse’s attitude towards the contraceptive, the method, and responsibility of the wife, and the concerned with the chemical reaction of the contraceptive. Finally, the article also mentioned many different hypothesis during the process of the surveys and the analysis of the year and male preferences towards the birth control. The results were the couple that had equal sex roles favored the idea of male birth control.…
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA, will extend coverage to virtually every US citizen. It is estimated that approximately 45 million Americans are uninsured, and 45,000 of those citizens are dying each year simply because they do not have health care (Ireland). Once this new act takes effect, 32 of those 45 million citizens will receive coverage. Citizens whose ages range from 19 to 25 will be able to stay on their parent’s insurance plans when normally they would have been forced off the plan. Young adults who are not on their parent’s insurance plans and who normally wouldn’t be able to afford coverage will now be able to pay for their own health insurance. Currently, patients with pre-existing conditions can be denied coverage. However, with the PPACA, insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage or stop coverage when a member becomes ill. Women will also be granted additional coverage, such as receive access to women’s health services, and these new benefits are also required to have no out of pocket fees. Also, the availability of contraception, such as abortion, will be expanded (“The Patient Protection”).…
In the United States, half of all pregnancies are unplanned. This is where emergency contraceptives come into play. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the Plan B pill is used as a backup plan after unprotected sex or birth control failure. According to the Plan B One-Step website, taking the pill in the first 72 hours this pill in 89 percent effective on preventing the fertilization of an egg. However, taking Plan B in the first 24 hours has the highest effectiveness. The Plan B pill is sold over-the-counter and there’s no prescription needed for men or women over the age of seventeen. It’s because of this over-the-counter availability that some people are concerned. There’s a debate going on whether or not the Plan B pill should be over-the-counter or a prescription drug. It has been an issue in the FDA for over five years now and still the conflict goes on. On the side for prescription Plan B, researchers focus on birth control needing a prescription and the safety of self-administration. On the side for over-the-counter status, researchers focus on condoms not needing a prescription and seeking help from pharmacists instead of doctors.…
A pastor in Tennessee who is outspoken about his opposition to abortion is fighting back after receiving thousands of “thank you” letters for donations to abortion giant Planned Parenthood which were made in his name.…
Unfortunately after the initial savings the impact gets a bit more complicated. A large part of planned parenthood business is contraceptive services if these services were suddenly unavailable from planned parenthood the amount of babies born would increase in the coming months/years. This of course would be a good thing on the ethical side and would effectively accomplish the goal of defunding planned parenthood, however economically it could actually cost the government money after the…
