    Morning After Pill

    • 300 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Emergency contraception is often called the morning after pill which reduces the chances of pregnancy following unprotected sexual intercourse. It consist of increased dose of conventional oral pill or the use of an intra-uterine device. The emergency contraceptive pills each contain .05 mg of the hormone ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg of the hormone norgestrel. The ingestion of these hormones is what prevents or delays ovulation. These hormones also can prevent the fertilization of the egg, if one has already been released from the ovary, and may interfere with the implantation of an egg. Scientific evidence suggests the pills work before pregnancy occurs by preventing or delaying ovulation. Emergency contraception pills work best when taken within 120 hours of unprotected vaginal intercourse. Taken within 72 hours reduces the risk of pregnancy between 75 and 89 percent. Emergency contraceptives such as Levonelle are legal in the US and UK. In the UK they can be bought over-the-counter from pharmacists. In the US there are complaints that many religious hospitals, especially Catholic hospitals do not provide emergency contraceptive advice to victims of sexual assault. Many arguments about emergency contraception is because a good portion of the world thinks it is another form of abortion.…

    There are many medical options when it comes to having an abortion. The issue I will be addressing is the morning after pill and the controversy of it being available to any age without a prescription. There are two sides to this debate. The first side is pro-pill and they feel it should be available to any age without a prescription. They feel that this is beneficial to girls who cannot talk with their parents about sex or girls who get rapped and are too embarrassed to tell their parents. They feel that making the morning after pill available to these girls will prevent unwanted pregnancy and will help these girls avoid emotional problems. The second side feels that making these pills available to any age takes the parent’s rights away. They feel that it will promote promiscuity and increase the risk of std’s. So the big question that needs answered is should the morning after pill be available to any age without a prescription? I think the best place to start would be with the health risks, if any, of the morning after pill.…

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 664,435 abortion procedures in 2013. The reasoning varies, but the majority of the procedures were made by women in their 20s and 91.3% occurred before 13 weeks after conception. Birth control is very expensive in the United States. Although the Affordable Care Act has introduced many free options for women, the efforts have not been enough. There are still women who do not have access to affordable birth control that is suitable for their needs and their body. Birth control manufacturers are able to charge an extraordinary high price for their birth control pills. According to the National Women’s Law Center, there are 18 million American women live in poverty. These women do not have access to pay $50 per month for birth control pills, which may lead to unwanted children who grow up in poverty. Every woman in America deserves access to affordable birth control and repealing the Affordable Care Act will leave many women without options and vulnerable to…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
