Should you ask someone else what’s best for you? Sexually active teenagers are considered to be being responsible when they use condoms, so why can’t a sexually active female decide when birth control is necessary for her? Having control over your body is a necessary freedom and lesson into adulthood. The age a female should have control over her body is when she begins to use it, then there would be no need to ask her parents permission for birth control. Females 16 years old and up are responsible enough to go into a doctor’s office and say “I would like to be put on birth control” without parents consent. Doctor’s say that birth control can harm some females if they aren’t completely developed, it can harm their menstrual cycle in the …show more content…

Statistics prove that 93% of the people in the nation say that it should be okay. Doctor’s wouldn’t mind, but they mind because they have to abide by the law to keep their jobs. NIH.org tells you the harms of birth control as well as how it can help you. Birth control can cause weight gain or loss, slight nausea, can cause larger breast, mood swings, breast tenderness, and etc. With the mood swings it can cause you to go in a stage of depression. Most women gain weight instead of losing weight. Today approximately 69% of young women are not aware of these side effects and should actually ask their doctors about this when they ask for birth control. Parents don’t believe that their child should be able to access anything under the age of 18 without their consent. Parents are quick to say don’t do this, or don’t do that, but when their parents were saying this stuff to them they were not listening.

In America and The Pill: A History of Promise, Peril, and Liberation, Elaine May Tyler examined the history of birth control in the United States.

Elaine Tyler May delivers a concise historical retrospective and critical analysis of the development, evolution, and impact of the birth control pill from the 1950s to present day. In her book, America and the Pill, examines the relationship of the pill to the feminist movement, scientific advances, cultural implications, domestic and international politics, and the sexual revolution. May argues cogently that the mythical assumptions and expectations of the birth control pill were too high, in which the pill would be a solution to global poverty, serve as a magical elixir for marriages to the extent it would decline the divorce rate, end out-of-wedlock pregnancies, control population growth, or the pill would generate sexual pandemonium and ruin families. May claims the real impact of the pill—it’s as a tool of empowerment for women, in which it allows them to control their own fertility and lives. May effectively transitioned between subjects, the chapters of America and the Pill are organized thematically, in
