Another common name for birth control is contraception, because the various birth control methods prevent the sperm and egg from uniting to form a fertilized embryo.

    Americans are influenced by the government and it affects many of their medical decisions including those of birth control. Birth control controversies in the United States have been a prevalent topic for many years. In fact, the earliest known usage of contraceptives dates back to ancient Egypt. “Over time, other methods of birth control were invented and tested, including vaginal sponges, diaphragms, and intrauterine devices or IUDs” (“Birth Control”). The usage of such contraceptives became controversial and a main topic when it came to political races. The Democratic and Republican opposing viewpoints on modern birth control affect the country and the medical choices people make depending on its availability and distribution, parental consent, and sexuality education classes.…

    Contraceptives have been taken for granted, I feel, in both mine and my parents’ generations. I have never stopped to think about the difficulties one may have had to overcome in times past in order to grant the future with such a necessity as this. Margaret Sanger is a nursing leader who lived in a time when women needed to fight for their rights to bear the amount of children their income and personal happiness could logically afford. She knew the hardships of women who had too many children. Working as a visiting nurse in New York’s cold water tenements, she attended to many emergency calls for women with too many children who had seriously injured themselves in an attempt to self- induce abortion. (Archer, J., 1991) After watching a Russian immigrant die from a self- induced abortion, Sanger vowed to dedicate her life to breaking “society’s taboo against investigating and distributing effective birth control information to women who needed practical knowledge to prevent unwanted pregnancies.”(Archer, J., 1991) At that time, condoms were very expensive and not readily available, douching was considered to be taboo, and husbands did not want to practice incomplete intercourse.
