Contraception doesn't define a woman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For most women, including women who want to have children, contraception is not an option; it is a basic health care necessity.
The public likes to think that women only care about contraception.
No woman has an abortion for fun.
The truth is women use contraception not only as a way to prevent unintended pregnancies, but also to improve their health and the health of their families. Increased access to contraception is directly linked to declines in maternal and infant mortality.
For the record, I believe that women and their doctors should have access to oral contraception when desired by the patient and medically appropriate.
Woman's at best a contradiction still.
Margaret Sanger didn't just introduce the idea of birth control into our culture at large, she freed women from indenture to their bodies.
Many poor and low-income women cannot afford to purchase contraceptive services and supplies on their own.
It is essential that the women's preventive coverage benefit, including contraception, be available to all women, regardless of what health plan they have or where they work - as Congress intended. Providing access to birth control just makes good sense.
Contraceptive protection is something every woman must have access to, to control her own destiny.
