Supplying basic
needs like food, housing, pharmaceutical or medical procedures for free to an
individual by the government is unethical and manipulative. In my opinion, people
should earn the right to enjoy government offers.
All young men
and women should be aware of how babies are made and how to protect oneself
from both pregnancies and diseases. This would cut down disease and death rates
dramatically as well as decrease poverty due to having excessive amount of
children without the means to properly raise them.
Education must
be the first step in any program to address societal problems. This is
especially critical in societies in which women's education is not usually a
priority due to cultural practices, strict gender roles, poverty, or lack of
resources. Even in the United States, many women do not receive the kind of
education that can help them understand family planning options.
Education can
take the stigma away from the use of birth control, address cultural issues such
as marriage and pregnancy.
Education can show the advantages of smaller and healthier families to
live within a family’s limited resources. It also empowers women to take control of the size of her family.
Birth control
should be affordable to women so that they can utilize their knowledge and take
control of their lives. Simply paying women to take medication without
educating them and involving them in the process does nothing to help them
improve their lives. Additionally,
ethical and moral implications of birth control, sex and marriage should not be
ignored. Education ensures that
solutions to these issues are not imposed on anyone, but are instead
implemented with the full participation of the people most affected by the
problem. Many have found that the confidence and sense of empowerment that
women have found from taking control of their own reproduction spill over into
other areas of their lives, improving their overall quality of life as well as
the lives of their families and their communities.
