In Megan’s blog about ethics and medicine, she discussed issues revolving around birth control. Birth control is a widely used pharmaceutical in the United States (80 percent according to her blog)! The issue with birth control lies with the fact that some people feel as though it is an abortion pill. The positive aspects are obviously the fact that it prevents unwanted teen pregnancy. I liked how Megan brought up current issues about the topic of birth control in her post. Although the elections have past, when she wrote this blog they were up and coming. It made the issue relevant, and allowed people a chance to give their voice on the issue of birth control. I also agree with Megan’s stance on this issue. I feel as though any woman has a right to birth control if she wants it. If birth control was out lawed I feel that abortions would actually go up, because contraceptives would not be as readily available. Also birth control gives a woman power and peace of mind to know that they are protected.
The articles that Megan used were also very informative. I liked how she found two different articles relating to the two different opinions on the issue. She expressed both side’s view and really came full circle with the issues. Overall birth control has morality conflicts, however I think they can be overcome if people allow it to be a personal choice. If you don’t like it, don’t fill out a prescription for it.
