The article “Birth control: World of Invention, 2006 Updated: April 30, 2006” defines birth control as, “contraception or the use of physical barriers, timing of sexual intercourse, chemicals, or a combination of these methods to prevent pregnancy. Many methods have been designed for women 's use, but few are available to men. There are quite a few reasons to use some form of birth control. The main one being to avoid pregnancy. Other reasons could be to prevent contracting an STD/STI and regulate hormone levels in order to control one’s menstrual cycle.
The birth control pill was made to help women from having kids (while on the pill) because back in the 1960’s married women went through multiple pregnancies and this took quite a toll on their physical and mental health. It wasn’t just to control the births of American women, but also the women in foreign third world countries, seeing as they were already beginning to be overpopulated and living mostly in poverty. According to A Critique of the Sexual Revolution:
Some major disadvantages and symptoms of birth control methods include possible heart attacks, possible blood clots, depression, body tenderness, drug interactions, and weight gain (“Birth Control Pills Advantages and Disadvantages”). Though the medical disadvantages of birth control are some ways to take away the access of it to women, most companies refuse this right to their employees because of their own personal beliefs. Birth control is usually a touchy subject for those who associate themselves with Christianity. Those who disapprove of birth control methods feel as though a person should have only one sexual partner in their lifetime and that they should only have sex within marriage. Then they feel as though birth control is not needed because God will send a child to a married couple at the time he sees fit. The bosses of these companies believe that taking away the access to affordable birth control from their employees will somehow stop sex out of wedlock and possibly prevent unwanted
Contraception, contragestion, (preventing the fertilized egg from implantation - morning-after-pill) and the chemical or surgical induction of abortion are all types of birth control routes to prevent or end pregnancy (“What”). Contraception is the devices, drugs, agents, sexual practices, or surgical procedures to prevent a pregnancy. Contraception tends to help a women decide if and when she would want to have a baby (“What”). There are around 17 different types of birth control methods. According to the article from Oxford there are three main categories of contraception. They are the barrier methods, intrauterine, and the hormonal methods (“Contraception”). They vary from a pill, patch, shot, an implant and a condom to name a few. The most common type of contraception for women is the birth control pill. This pill includes estrogen and progestin to stop the release of the egg and thin the lining of the uterus. If the contraception device is used correctly, only about 3 in every 1,000 women will beco...
Two major types of birth control are contraceptives and condoms. Condoms prevent STDs by stopping the flow of semen in to the vaginal canal. Contraceptives are more complex. Birth control contraceptives help to prevent pregnancies by combining the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent the egg from being released during the monthly cycle. Not only do the contraceptives prevent the egg from dropping but they also thicken the mucus around the cervix making it hard for sperm to enter the uterus just in case any eggs were released.

...s effected by the three parameters, so in this case the health motivation is very high. Therefore, teens are very like to change to use condoms to prevent pregnancy.
The most popular form of birth control is the pill. The reason for this is that it is said to be very effective against pregnancy if used correctly, it makes menstrual periods more regular and lighter, they decrease menstrual cramps and acne, makes you less likely to get ovarian and uterine cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, and anemia, and last but not least, it doesn’t interrupt love making. Those are the good things about the pill. There are also a list of negative things: the pill doesn’t protect against S...
Also if you are against abortion this can benefit you as well. Two studies one from researchers in St. Louis and the other from researchers in Iowa provided solid evidence that access to effective birth control can make a difference in this arena. Both studies made super effective birth control methods available and affordable to local women over several years. And both studies resulted in major decreases in unplanned pregnancy and abortion.On the national level, almost half of all pregnancies in the U.S. were unplanned as of 2006, and 43% of those unplanned pregnancies ended in abortion.Of all the women in the U.S. who are having sex and not trying to get pregnant, two-thirds of them use birth control consistently and correctly and those users account for only 5% of unplanned pregnancies. The other 95% of unplanned pregnancies were to the third of U.S. women who weren’t trying to get pregnant but weren’t using birth control or were using it incorrectly or inconsistently. Another large group of people we can hit with these statistics are simply, women. Birth control has wonderful benefits for all teen or adult females who are sexually active. It can be great for their health being that pregnancy is a very risky business and can have a toll on
Well, a vasectomy is a surgical procedure performed on males in which the vas deferens tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the seminal are cut, tied, cauterized (burned or sealed) or otherwise interrupted to prevent pregnancy of a female. Vasectomies are more effective than condoms or birth control pills, with less than 1 percent chance of getting a female pregnant. Additionally, all surgical procedures have a risk but vasectomies have a very low risk. The whole procedure takes about 10 minutes and is usually done in a doctor’s office, and only requires a local
Research has demonstrated that consistent condom use is an effective way to prevent the transmission of HIV and other STDs and in the prevention of pregnancy.
Furthermore, birth control has made a huge impact on society. Whether people view it as negative or positive it has allowed for change and sexual responsibility. Therefore, if eventually both male and female have the option to take or be injected with a form of birth control then who knows that revolutions that could bring forth.
In 1960, birth control was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for contraceptive use (Nikolchev). Since then, birth control pills have had a tremendous impact in the American culture. Women were now able to prevent unplanned pregnancy without the consent of their partners and eliminating the use of condoms and other dual consent birth control methods. Birth control pills contain two important hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Natural estrogen is a hormone that is produced in the ovaries and helps regulate the menstrual cycle (Rettner). According to Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Steven Goldstein, “progesterone is a hormone that stimulates and regulates important functions, playing a role in maintaining pregnancy, preparing the body for conception and regulating the menstrua...
Condoms began to come into their own during the 18th century. They were usually made of sheep gut, or sometimes fish skin, and were originally introduced not for prevention of pregnancy but as a protection against syphilis.
There are many forms of birth control. The topic of condom use has caused some to argue that they should be readily available to teens, I truly think that there are other forms of birth control that are more effective, such as the pill and girls should be given the proper education in order to make the right choices when it comes to protection. Condoms are important to use don’t get me wrong but many times they can break or can be ineffective. Plus let’s face it, in the heat of the moment lack of a condom always doesn’t prevent it from happening. Pregnant teens often delude themselves into thinking that if they are swept away by passion, then they aren’t really to blame; it’s simply an accident. According to Centers for Disease Control “In 2010, teen pregnancy and childbirth accounted for at least $9.4 billion in costs to U.S. taxpayers for increased health care and foster care, increased incarceration rates among children of teen parents, and lost tax revenue because of lower educational attainment and income among teen mothers” (CDC, 2014) Birth control pills are a cheaply made, more effective form of birth control. If the pill was cheaper and easier to get, more teens would be protected and less would get
It is 100% effective against pregnancy unless pre-ejaculation or sperm gets onto the vulva or into the vagina. Outer course however, frequently leads to intercourse, therefore another form of birth control and protection from infection has to be used. The most commonly used methods of birth control are the condom and the pills. The pill is taken once a day and a pack should be completed every month. Combination pills contain estrogen and progestin.
