Health Presentation
I know that before this presentation I did not know much at all about preventative pregnancy options and how they are "used." Ms. Johnson made it very clear in the beginning that she would present this somewhat awkward topic in a funny and engaging manor. After she had introduced herself she started making everyone laughing about the preventative pregnancy types! I believe she first started with the condom and how she lost her penis, which was extremely funny! I know this started the presentation off very well for everyone, including myself. I enjoyed how enthralled she was with talking about the preventative pregnancy options. She was very descriptive when speaking about all the options such as condoms, condoms for women, and birth control. I did not realize before this presentation that there were so many types of birth control for women. I believe Ms. Johnson spoke of at least 5 different types.

One of my favorite parts of the presentation was how well Ms. Johnson explained everything and how funny she made the presentation seem. She kept going on and on with the funny jokes, which actually made the situation a little less awkward than it should have been! I also enjoyed how on some of the types of birth control; Ms. Johnson showed a dummy model of them. I’m a visual learner so this helped me understand much better than if it was just told to me. La'Shanda Johnson’s experience and knowledge with this topic was also intriguing even though she is a promoter of this “merchandise.” It was very interesting to me that a guy can get free condoms at the health center. Not just that either; he can ask for an envelope to make it more “private.” This is for girls as well, not just guys.

Overall Ms. La'Shanda Johnson was very interesting, entertaining, and just a joy to watch. Her jokes kept me and I am sure everyone else involved. She was very knowledgeable on the topic, so much so, that I learned a lot of things I did not know previously. And lastly, I know the

    In January 1970 experts assembled in the stately Senate chamber and began giving their testimony on the hazards of the Pill. Alice Wolfson, a member of the radical collective D.C. Women's Liberation, was sitting in the audience listening to the experts. Her group had come to the hearings because they had all taken the Pill at one time or another and had experienced side effects. The group was outraged that their doctors had never informed them of the risks when they prescribed the Pill. As they sat in the chamber and heard one male witness after another describe serious health risks, they were furious that there wasn't a single woman who had taken the Pill there to…

    By the 1950’s, she had won many legal victories, but she was far from context. After 40 years of fighting for women to control their fertility, Sanger was extremely frustrated with the limited birth control options available to women. There had been no new advances since the 1842 invention of the diaphragm in Europe and the introduction of the first full length rubber condom in the US in 1869. She had championed the diaphragm, but after promoting it for decades, it was the least popular method in the United States. It was highly effective, but expensive, awkward, and most women were embarrassed to use it. Even in her seventies, this didn’t stop Margaret from creating something better. She had been dreaming of a “magic pill” since 1912, but…

    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. (Archer, J.,…

    Should early sex education programs only teach about abstinence or should they include the facts about contraception too? There is no specific way that it has to be taught but there is a debate on which ways have the best outcome. Abstinence is refraining from having sex and the only way to not get infected with a sexually transmitted disease. On the other hand, contraception is also known as birth control or other devices that help prevent pregnancy but are not one hundred percent effective. In the article “A Debate About Teaching Abstinence,” Deborah Kotz successfully appeals to credibility, logic, and emotion in order to prove a point that early sex…

    Sex Education in public schools has always been a widely debated topic in American History. Determining what information to give out and how old the children need to be is constantly being argued. However, many programs are only preaching abstinence, especially to young women. Young men on the other hand get the “condom talk.” Very little information about female contraceptives, physical or medicinal, is ever discussed in these sex education sessions. Rebecca Walker, in 1995, wrote that young women must be treated as growing, learning, individuals, and need information concerning “sex and access to birth control and abortion” in order to nurture their self-esteem and protect them from violence.[1] With limited access to information, women are being denied the ability to make a fully cognitive decision about their bodies.…

    It is imperative that states take this opportunity to request these funds, to implement programs which can lower the bottom line on the cost of unplanned pregnancies. There are a variety of grants available which could focus on almost every philosophy, whether it is on proper contraceptive use or abstinence. Some states are refusing to apply for the money because of concerns that teaching about the proper use of contraceptives could promote sexual activity or send mixed signals, which Texas Representative Donna Howard calls, “erroneous” and is “baffled” (Foreman).…
