Margaret Sanger's Arguments Against Teenage Birth Control

In America and The Pill: A History of Promise, Peril, and Liberation, Elaine May Tyler examined the history of birth control in the United States. May traced the pill's conception and evolution the United States through to the twenty-first century. The book consisted of an introduction, seven chapters, and a conclusion. May approached the topic in the context of influence of suffragist and reformer Margaret Sanger's advocacy originating in the late Progressive Era and Cold War American ideology, through to the emerging movements of the sexual revolution and the feminist movement, including acknowledging political, religious, racial, socio-economic, and gender bias factors.

Elaine Tyler May delivers a concise historical retrospective and critical analysis of the development, evolution, and impact of the birth control pill from the 1950s to present day. In her book, America and the Pill, examines the relationship of the pill to the feminist movement, scientific advances, cultural implications, domestic and international politics, and the sexual revolution. May argues cogently that the mythical assumptions and expectations of the birth control pill were too high, in which the pill would be a solution to global poverty, serve as a magical elixir for marriages to the extent it would decline the divorce rate, end out-of-wedlock pregnancies, control population growth, or the pill would generate sexual pandemonium and ruin families. May claims the real impact of the pill—it’s as a tool of empowerment for women, in which it allows them to control their own fertility and lives. May effectively transitioned between subjects, the chapters of America and the Pill are organized thematically, in

She stated in her speech in November of 1921, “The one issue upon which there seems to be most uncertainty and disagreement exists in the moral side of the subject of Birth Control.” (Margaret Sanger) Persuasion is such a deadly weapon when used correctly, and will definitely led you to a perfect end result. So how do people do it when they want to control the thoughts of others? Well a big thank you goes to Margaret Sanger because the strategies she used to manipulate people, fell under the categories of ad hominen, pathos and false dilemma in her speech ‘The Morality of Birth Control.’ Margaret Sanger was a birth control activist, but her speech wasn’t about persuasion but rather the questioning of birth control degrading morality in women.

Before the 1960s, not all women were allowed access to the popular birth control contraceptive known as “the pill.” Birth control pills were only given to married couples, due to the Supreme Court ruling in the year 1965. However, what about all the other unmarried women who needed means of contraceptives, right?

What is one sociological issue that is pledging the young people of the new generation? The issue of teen pregnancy is accurately shown in the movie The Pregnancy Pact (2010) directed by Rosmary Rodriguez. The film revolves around a number of young girls who seems to think have a child young will be fun, much like playing house. The boys that help them are mislead in the girls true intentions are. Both parties however, do not understand the responsibility that comes with a child, how both party’s lives will be forever changed, as well as how in will affect their own families.

Birth control should be available for females any age especially for teenage females. If the pill is used correctly and taken every day as directed less than 1 out of 100 women will get pregnant as the Planned Parenthood states “Less than 1 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year if they always take the pill each day as directed.” Having these pills available for any age group could drastically reduce the rate of

Still some parents want their teens on birth control. Some teens are afraid of what their parents would say or do if they asked for birth control. Since teen pregnancy needs to be avoided, sexually transmitted diseases need to be reduced, and fear of being severely punished by their parents needs to be reduced, teens should be allowed to get birth control without permission from their parents. Letting teens have birth control available to them without parental consent will reduce the chances of teen pregnancy. Birth control reduces pregnancy by not letting the eggs ovulate.

Should Teenagers Have Access To Birth Control? Many debate the idea of teens, under eighteen, having access to birth control; it is a controversy that has presented itself in recent presidential and state governor elections. Many states have considered, and even attempted to remove funding from Planned Parenthood and other pregnancy resources to no avail. The argument has not been focused solely on teens, but anyone who seeks birth control or an abortion with the claim that, “you should not have sex if you do not intend to reproduce.” Teenagers are impressionable, no doubt about it.

Many parents do not like the idea of this but, “46% of teens are sexually active and by the time they are seniors 62% are sexually active.” (kurt) This fact is alarming and birth control for teens is a very controversial topic. Should Teens be able to get birth control without consent of parents?

The problem at hand is that many minors are being given birth control too frivolously by doctors, although minors have the rights to birth control; birth control should be preceded

Providing birth control to teens without their parents being aware has been a huge debate across the world. Many parents believe that they should know when their children are sexually active and when they are receiving birth control. The teens on the other hand, feel that certain parts of their life should not be a secret but a private topic that their parents should not always know. Free clinics and schools have many debates on if they should provide them to teens to prevent pregnancy without parental signature or to have the parents present. The nurses trust that giving birth control to teens will prevent teen pregnancy and keep them on their toes about it.

In my opinion, birth control or contraceptives have a lot of serious side effects like mood changes, headaches, nausea, weight gaining etc. Teenage girls should not be allowed to get birth control without permission from their parents. There are various types of birth control methods. For an example, birth control patch, pills, shots and implants etc. Most people don 't know the negative effects.

Teenagers are in the constant struggle between not being old enough, or being too old. They are expected to handle everything the way an adult would, but they are not adults. Growing up in a household where a teen can make their own decisions, but still have guidance from their parents or guardian sounds appropriate, right? Well in most cases that is not how teenagers are raised. Overprotective parents hardly ever let their teen make their own decisions, and this takes away the experience for their child to start becoming an adult under their own roof.

Our lives are unbelievably valuable so we should do everything rational to avoid deaths. Nowadays, teenagers are specifically dangerous due to their recklessness and they are the ones that are more likely to commit car accidents.

For instance, teens think that they’re fearless, which is why they take silly risks unlike mature drivers.

Teenage pregnancy is becoming a societal problem that branches out to other problems that it is caused for the growth of poverty rate in different baranggays. One of the reasons why teenagers are already aware with this topic is because of media. They get a higher knowledge to sex from the magazines, TV shows, internet, movies and other
