The fact that birth control even existed was remarkable enough. Buying a condom made you a criminal in 30 states. In the sass’s, women were able to prevent pregnancy, something they have never done before. Women like Gangers, a devoted catholic mother who got pregnant eighteen times, eleven at birth and seven miscarriages. She created the first” Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Which she was later imprisoned for.
However, this federation opened a new door for women to control their own acts. It wasn’t until the 1965 when the Supreme Court ruled against the Connecticut law disagreeing with used of contraceptive, even by married couples. Twenty five years later, nearly 75 percent of American women had tried the pill. In this Era, women were not allowed to talk about unwanted pregnancies, pills, or contraceptives. It was illegal in some cases; including discussions in their own Doctor’s office. Birth control was not publicity accepted during this Era.
But some believed birth control was a useful tool for preservation among the weak. All contraceptives and other pills were defined as wrongful deaths, as veil and it was wrong to the society eyes. However birth control opened a new door for women and allowed sexual freedom, but it wasn’t until the sass’s. By then the women already had the choice and the rights to control their own emotions, body and choices in sexual relationships. In the 1 dad’s women did not have the control choices over their bodies due to inequality issues at this Era.
The 19th amendment then were introduced and played the most part to their lives. Before the 1 9th amendment women did have the choice to decide what they wanted when it came to pregnancy and were ore so afraid to have children rather than wanting to have children. Men could not understand how much pain, suffering and deaths child birth is. Not even we could understand how much pain it was for the women in the past had during child birth, but a painful process and a constant thing due to inequality and no rights.
The 19th amendment later introduced, the movement for the pill and other contraceptives method created a new image and a new drive for women in which they wish to be in control of their bodies rather than men and husbands. By introducing the birth control pills, and there contraceptive to women, it became a huge part of the inequality movement with the 1 9th amendment and it spurred an even bigger equality movement. Thus allowed the women to have much control over their bodies. With women like Ganger; she believed in women to have much control over their body.
Ganger was part of the social development of women who created a revolution in the 1 ass’s. She created the first “Planned Parenthood Federation of America”. The clinic started in the lower east side of New York City. The clinic ended so soon from a police raid. After the raided of her clinic, al the neighborhood clinics were raided as well due to dispensed of forms Of birth control. Ganger did not give up what she had started. She was a firm believer of birth controls to women with unwanted pregnancies and uncontrollable deaths.
She continued with sex counseling through the Planned Parenthood Clinic even after the failed attempt of the first Planned Parenthood Clinic. This clinic created the American birth control league and was later known as the “Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1942. Yet some states were still disagreeing about the contraceptives that were given for unwanted pregnancies. Thus anything that interfered with fertility was immoral, unless they could prove that any use of contraceptive was for research or public good that person is liable to serve time.
Contraception was opposed by protagonist business, religious and political interest group, which was almost the whole nation. Nevertheless, the law of contraception used was questioned, and family size among those in higher socioeconomic were shrinking. Some couples were able to limit their fertility by under the counter purchase of contraceptive or with materials with home-made methods. However, birth controllers insisted that birth control should be allowable to everyone.
Even some physicians still recommended the products, pills, and contraceptives to those were in need of it, even if they get caught they were not scared or afraid of being arrested. With the encouragement from Gangers for women to have the right to control their own body, most women were not afraid to buy the pills, and the contraceptives. They stood up for themselves. Ganger never gave up, she said ” she still has an image of among woman dying because of criminally induced abortion in the back of her mind. ” She believed that birth control was the best way sustained from unwanted pregnancies. O, I am a firm believer in birth control. I believe that every child born should be a child who will feel wanted and cared for, then a child born feeling unwanted or left to be adopted to other families instead of growing up in his or her biological family. Yes, there are parents out there that cannot conceive or baring a child, but giving birth to an unwanted child is worst then giving the child away. And the birth of that child may not be the easiest thing a mother go through. A child birth is not something we laugh about it or talk about it. Not everybody now a day can support or cared for three to four children.
Today birth control is also accepted by many who feel that abortion is immoral, believing it to be taking of a life and therefore wrong for any reason. Agree with this entirely because I believe it is wrong to terminate an innocent baby.
