Birth Control

There is a new form of birth control out called "Plan B", and there are a lot of different opionions about it. The reason it is so contraversial is because there is no prescription or parent approval needed. Some people believe that this is wrong because 17 year old girls are not wise enough to make their own decisions, especially when it comes to the decision of a child. Another reason people do not agree with it is because they think it is promoting unprotected sex and that will result in more sexually transmitted diesases. Another fear is that 17 year old girls will buy the pill for their younger friends or family members and then they are encouraging 15 year olds and younger teen agers to have sex. Many parents believe that this is not what is best for their daughters.

There are many different types of birth control and some ways work better for certain women. No form of birth control is one hundred percent accurate, and what you decide to use is just the risk that you and your partner take. The pill contains hormones that will regulate your period and also lower your risks of becoming pregnant. There are risks to all forms of birth control, for example: some doctors think that if you conceive right after stopping the pill, you have a higher risk of having a miscarriage. But, all forms of birth control have positives and negatives.

Something newly discovered is a birth control pill that uses hormones from natural plant sources rather than synthetic hormones. The company who made the pill claims that users of the pill experienced shorter less painful periods then those who use the normal pill. The pill works by altering the bodies horomones to stop them from releasing an egg. There is scientific evidence to support the theory that the hormones that are made with the natural plant sources are a safer and better alternative.
