Analysis

 The topic that I found most interesting in the reading this week is when Valenti talks about women not having full access to their reproductive rights. I had no idea how long the argument about whether or not women should have the decision to get abortions, and use birth control. In my opinion I think it’s horrible that the government would try to control women when our society is already male dominated. This in a way is saying in a way that men will control women no matter how much progress women make. Although I don’t believe in abortions myself, If a mother feels that she is not ready for a child or family is not financially stable to bring another life into the world or just don’t want the child. They should have the right to decide by themselves and or with their spouse if they want to have one or not.
The same guidelines should apply for those mothers who would like to place their teenage daughters on birth control because they think they are sexually active. With the teenage pregnancy rate being so high why does the government want to take this away? Valent and I thoughts are similar; we both think it’s real dumb that the government is trying to take both options to prevent early pregnancy away. Those that are trying to take these away need to think about the result of taking these away like increase in pregnancy rate. this mean more mothers giving up there children for adoption because of their family's cannot support the baby. For example i know someone that has had a child at an early age and i'm pretty sure their parents would be upset if they couldn't get birth control .

  1. Hi Josh,

    Why do you think that politicians want to limit the abortion services, emergency contraception and birth control? What does it come down to?

    You suggest that it is male-dominanted, which is interesting. I'd have to agree. Men outnumber women in the House and Senate. However, just being a woman does not mean that she will be for these three services. As we all know one example, Sarah Palin, is passionately pro-life.
