controversy

Of all the controversy arising from birth control, many of it is only focused on “the pill”. This is giving it a bad name and making people believe that it is overall bad for you and that if you are going to use a method of birth control, you should choose a different type. People that do not take the pill and that are not affected by it do not understand that it is not used for the reason many are thinking, preventing pregnancy. Many people need the pill to help with their personal health and to make the times women go through every month easier on them. I feel that most of the controversy comes from those who are anti-abortion, or pro-life. In these circumstances it needs to be understood that birth control is not used to get rid of, or “fix” an unwanted pregnancy. Instead it is used to prevent these situations so women are not put in the position to choose between having an abortion or not. I think that women should have the right to used any method of birth control they want and that they should be targeted for it.
