Sexual And Reproductive Health, Tobacco And Alcohol Usage,...
Issues related to sexual and reproductive health, tobacco and alcohol usage, infectious disease and environmental related heath issues are major
concerns for Mongolian youth. All medical and hospital services are free and health care is under the control of state[1]. Each province has at least
two hospitals, and as of 2004 there were approximately 18 dentists, 31 pharmacists, 267 physicians, and 305 nurses per 100,000 people[2].
The WorldHealth Organization established and supports nine adolescent–friendly clinics around Mongolia. The clinics staff is trained on the
adolescent orientation package, which focuses on counseling, managing general and special problems, as well as referrals. The clinics promote
preventive messages on the psychosocial, nutritional, diseases prevention and sexual aspects of health. Although the clinics were youth friendly, the
clinics lacked space, were not easy to reach, and were not open during convenient times[3]. The services provided at these adolescent–friendly clinics
were free and International Planned Parenthood Federation clinics charged a small fee. WHO 2002 reports show that 34% of youth were afraid that the
health services received at these clinics were inadequate, 57.3% of the same youth reported that health care workers were inattentive to their health
concerns and problems as well as given poor services [3].

The Importance Of Education In Education
Education The association between birth spacing and formal education in the context of age at marriage is complex. The length of time a girl
remains in formal school reduces her time spent in marriage during her reproductive life, and in turn shortens her window of childbearing years.
Furthermore, by forcefully removing girls from school at an early age they are unable to receive the proper information and knowledge involving
sexual and reproductive rights and health (Myers & Harvey 2011; Jain & Kurz 2007). Often under pressure from her husband, family, and society to
prove her fertility, girls tend to have more frequent, poorly spaced births when married young compared to their adult married counterparts (Nour
2006). Benga et al. (2013) found that in rural communities in southern Ethiopia short birth intervals were almost twice as likely for mothers who had
no formal education compared to their educated counterparts. Similarly a different study in Ethiopia by Hailu and Gulte (2016) found that women who
had no formal education were three times more likely to experience short birth intervals when compared to their educated counterparts. This is in line
with a study from northern Iran that found the length of birth interval significantly increased when women have a higher level of education
(Hajian–Tilaki et al 2009). The length of inter–birth intervals studied in Tanzania was related to the maternal level of educational attainment such that

Women's Reproductive Rights Research Paper
Under the Trump administration, women's reproductive rights in developing countries have been dealt a devastating blow. It is our moral and ethical
duty to fight regain these rights back for some of the most disadvantaged and powerless women in the world. Women should be able to have a choice
about what happens to their own bodies, and be the masters of their own destiny. This policy is an assault on women's health and we need to stand up
and fight for the repeal of this unfair and unjust law.
In one of his first actions as President, Donald Trump reinstituted the Mexico City Policy, which ceases US aid to international health organisations that
offer or promote abortion as a method of family planning. This policy has been a political tug of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As one expert has said, "Fewer women will now get contraception and be able to have children by choice, not chance." While this legislation does not
currently prevent women in America from accessing abortions or contraception, Trump's attitude towards women'sreproductive rights should be a
frightening wake up call to us all, as it is foreshadows what could easily happen within the United States. Trump has clearly stated that he supports an
abortion ban at home and identifies himself as "pro–life". Do not be complacent, Trump's anti women sentiments can easily be turned into policy here
in the US, making it more difficult for women to access essential reproductive care.
Join me in standing up and speaking out for women's right to have control over their reproductive health, regardless of where they live in the world. We
will not be silenced or gagged from having a voice in our own future and that of other woman. Women's bodies are not, and should not be, something
that can be governed. This misguided and outdated law does not decrease the number of abortions that are occurring, but instead places women's
emotional and physical health and wellbeing at risk. This legislation clearly threatens the health and lives of women all around the world; we need to

Women 's Health Care And Reproductive Rights
Abortion has been one of the hottest topics concerning women's health care and reproductive rights. Tune into any presidential debate and you'll notice
candidates spending as much time discussing the topic as immigration, foreign policy, climate change, and gun control. There are a lot of
misconceptions about the pro–choice movement but it can be explained in very simple terms. Being pro–choice does not mean pro–abortion, it simply
means accepting that women have the choice to choose what they do with their bodies, not the government or anyone else. I believe strongly in
this issue and believe that we should look at our past and not go back to a time where women did not have the same rights as men over their
bodies. We are trying to become equal, not return to an era of submission. No man or government should have the power to control a women's body;
every person has a right to his/her own body. Abortion should be kept an easy, accessible, safe, and legal option for all women regardless of beliefs.
We should be taking strides forward toward equality, not steps back. In the mid–twentieth century, second wave feminists saw major struggles of
women and sought to radically improve and change the security of women and reproductive rights. We have fought hard for many of the rights we
have today, but everyday we are challenged by those who want to oppose and erase our efforts.
Every era of woman has faced an uphill battle towards the support and justice of rights,

Sexual And Reproductive Health In Columbia
The District of Columbia (D.C) is made up of 52.8% females, 54% African Americans, and 40.6% Caucasians. Of the roughly 600,000 living in D.C.,
101,400 (or 16.9%) are living below the poverty line (US Census, 2009). Over the years, the poverty rate in D.C. has continued to grow. With this
number growing, there is a profound need to learn more about the women that are being affected. That being said, it is important to learn more about
sexual and reproductive health in low–income women. In the District of Columbia, many women are living below the poverty life and are thus unable

In their research, Robinson et al. (2002) targeted African American women with low socio–economic statuses. While some participants dropped out of
the study, there was evidence that an HIV education for prevention method was successful. After the study, researchers found that there was an overall
better understanding of sexual anatomy knowledge, increased communication with children about sexual issues, and in some cases; safer sex. In the
United States, there have been 19 million new STD infections per year. In addition, there are much higher rates of STD's among racial and ethnic
minorities than Non–Hispanic Caucasians. Through research, the CDC has been able to find that factors contributing to this difference are poverty,
lack of access to health care, and an already high prevalence of STD's in racial minorities (CDC, 2009). Chlamydia, a Sexually Transmitted Disease
that is becoming more prevalent, has reached to 23,465 new cases in D.C. between 2004 and 2008. In addition, in 2009, preventative measures were
taken in high schools to ensure STD safety. After 3,448 teenagers were tested, 10% tested positive for some STD (DC Department of Health, 2009).

The Importance of Sex Education Essay
When are children first exposed to sex? It is hard to control what a child is exposed to with the growing trend of sexual imagery in advertising,
television, movies, and in the general public. An article, Children Learn Best by Observing Behavior of Adults, written by Jodie Michalak states
"While children will always have their own personality and emotions, they are constantly influenced by their environment" (2013). What and how
children learn is a very significant part of how healthy our society will be in the future. School has been an integral part of a child's progression into
adulthood since the 17th century. Schools carefully build the curriculum that is proper for a child's age group. The educational system adapts to societal

Parents' Sex Talk with Kids: Too Little, Too Late, authored by Alice Park, states "Parental talks about sex and sexuality need to occur much earlier than
they do, but that doesn't necessarily mean that parents have only one shot at getting it right... experts also say that parents should discuss certain issues
with their children at age–appropriate times, and that the discussion should evolve as children mature" (2008). When a child is curious about anything
they will investigate on their own, usually the investigation leads to questioning peers and other people their age. When a child learns about sex
through other children or adolescents they will, most likely, not be getting all the facts and it may lead to personal investigation through physical
exploration. This can lead to children having sex too early. Having sexual education in schools can ensure that children and adolescents will be getting
educated properly.
When a child is in sex education they can gain knowledge and techniques to properly ask their parents the personal questions they may have if they
don't feel comfortable asking the teacher. When a child has intelligence on their side they have confidence to voice themselves. Children may want to
talk to their parents but not know how to start the conversation or what they want to ask. An article by Tim Weldon states, "Sometimes a young person

Research narratives: Maternal health includes the physical, mental and social well–being of women during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period.
Reproductive health is an indispensable ingredient of health and a major determinant of human development. Nearly 65,000 women die annually in
India as a consequence of pregnancy and childbirth and 17 lakh children die before reaching to age of 5 years (Gupta and Nair 2010). These deaths
are unjust and can be avoided with key health interventions, like provision of antenatal care and medically assisted delivery (Adam et al. 2005;
MCcaw–Binnsetal 2007 quoted in Chinmankar and Sahoo 2011). Unfortunately, in India the utilization of reproductive and child health services is low
and vary across the regions and ethnic groups. National Health Policy and WHO points out that only 36% of infants are fully vaccinated in India and
Infant Mortality Rate among tribes is 84 whereas 70 is nation's average and Mother Mortality Rate among the tribe is 126 and country's average is 94.

Introduction Reproductive health play a vital role in the daily lives of humans. Specifically for males, options for contraceptives remain fairly limited
due to the market's focus on the protection of women more often than men. As technology continues to advance, scientists and the general human
population begin to look for more options to provide protection to men engaging in sexual intercourse. Barrier methods such as the condom, the
vasectomy, and newly introduced Vasalgel make up the available options to men looking to prevent unwanted reproduction. Through research made
available by the Center for Disease Control, Federal Drug Administration, and other contributing doctors, the Parsemus Foundation developed a form

The Center for Disease Control (2017) reported that nationally, condom hardware has a "typical failure rate of 18 percent" when used by the average
adult, making it a rather safe option. The US Department of Health and Human Services (2014) stated that a major benefit of condoms, remains their
availability in nearly every supermarket and health retail stores; they are readily accessible to consumers across all economic backgrounds. Generally,
condoms cost less than 1 dollar per unit and have no restrictions of age or prescription required for purchase. Health departments and clinics often offer
free condoms as a initiative for safer sex in the community. Despite being time consuming and inconvenient, condoms remain a popular and
impermanent option as a method of male contraception.
The Vasectomy First introduced in the 1950's on a national level, Vasectomies emerged as the first procedural contraceptive option for men. Commonly
known as the "sterilization method," a vasectomy aims to terminate the access of sperm through the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the
testicals, to the outside of the male body with the possibility of reproduction. Vasectomies insure a reliable form of contraception for men without
having to repeatedly use a condom. World of Health (2007) reported that "the level of effectiveness [of vasectomies] is over 99 percent," and are a

The Effects Of Air Pollution On Reproductive Health
Any agent that disrupts embryo development or fetal development is known as Teratogens. Teratogens can stop the pregnancy outright, or in cases of
full term pregnancies, cause birth defects to the child. Some categories of teratogens are environmental and subjective teratogens. Environmental
teratogens relate to environmental factors that cause birth defects or termination of a pregnancy. Subjective teratogens are substances in which the
mother consumes that cause defects to the child or also termination of a pregnancy. Substances such as air pollution, pesticides and mercury, as well as
tobacco, alcohol and drugs are reported as having environmental and subjective teratogenic properties.
Airborne particle matter small enough to penetrate human respiratory tracts are referred to as air pollutants; environmental teratogens. "The bulk of all
air pollution research target reproductive health has been conducted only in the past decade. Recently this research has begun to focus on one specific
source of modern–day air pollution– traffic exhaust." (Ritz, B) Since the early 1990's researchers are becoming more aware of the teratogenic effect
of air pollution. Although the study of air pollutions impact on prenatal development is still an area of science that is developing, the proof is that

Effect Of The On Reproductive Health
Effect on Reproductive Health The subsequent immune suppression that is caused by infection can be detrimental to the affected cow's
reproductive health and efficiency. Since a dairy operation relies on a steady volume of milk being produced, it is vital that cows conceive regularly
in order to start their next lactation cycle in a reasonable amount of time. Therefore, reduced reproductive efficiency due to mastitis can become a
chronic and costly problem for producers. Conception The metabolic stress associated with mastitis can cause cows to be anovular (having an
irregular ovulation cycle) for prolonged periods of time32. Follicular growth is inhibited, which prevents ovulation and the inflammation caused by
mastitis produces higher levels of prostaglandins that interfere with regulation of the oestrus cycle33. Hormone levels too high or too low at the
wrong point in the cycle will prevent regular oestrus and ovulation. An anovular period of approximately 40 days after calving is normal and needed
for the reproductive system to heal34. This time frame can become longer due to infections and incur non–productivity costs to the farm. The
disruption of the regular cycle results in an increased period of time between calving and the next conception as well as an increased number of
services required to achieve conception. Research from the University of Minnesota states that cows without mastitis become pregnant 25% faster than
cows with mastitis32. In addition, calving

Margaret Sanger And The Issue Of Reproductive Health
Margaret Sanger and the issue of Reproductive Health
Women have been fighting for the same rights and privileges of men for over a hundred years. The majority of these rights dealing with the basic
autonomy of their own bodies and the right to make decisions about reproduction. The role of women has been seen as homemaker, caretaker, and
ultimately Mother. Having children and raising children is often seen as the primary job of women in the home. However, in the early 20th century
having a great number of children became a public health concern among women who were having multiple births. The number of women who died
during childbirth in 1900 was six to nine in every 1000, while one in five children died within their first five years. (Achievements in Public Health,
2000) This was not seen as an epidemic, however, except by one woman, Margaret Sanger. Sanger believed that women deserved the right to choose
and control their reproduction while offering safe methods of birth control. This paper examines the life of Margaret Sanger, provide information about
the barriers she encounters during her work, and give insight to the contributions she has made to public health.
The details of Margaret Sanger's biography are an interesting mystery, she herself had said that "My biography will be harder to write than that of

The Debate Of Women's Reproductive Health
The topic of women's rights has always been one that has been discussed. Specifically, the topic of women's reproductive health and rights has been the
subject of controversial debate for many years. There have been countless organizations formed that often debated the validity and sometimes even the
legality of health programs that include reproductive health. There are many different aspects and topics under the wide umbrella that is women's
reproductive health and the one that is argued about and debated on the most is the topic of abortions. Two organizations that have opposing stances on
reproductive health are Planned Parenthood and the
National Right to Life organization. Their opposing viewpoints make it hard to come to a compromise but they do both agree on some sort of health
care so the best solution would be to devise legislation for health care for women.
Planned Parenthood is a women's health care provider. This organization goes above and beyond research and help when it comes to providing women
across the nation with the health care they need. They "respect each individual's right to make informed, independent decisions about health, sex, and
family planning" (Planned Parenthood). Planned Parenthood makes sure that they are not just a place where women go to have an abortion; they
provide a multitude of other health care procedures for women. In fact, only 3% of Planned Parenthood's services make up abortions (Planned

In other words, since the people of Chiapas are not "consumers" and therefor not seen as people, they must then become the "consumables." In order to
do this, their rights to their land have been taken away, leaving these people with little means for subsistence and sustainable life. This situation has left
the people of Chiapas in a dire situation, yet even more so, the women of Chiapas suffer. However, these women have rebounded, and began to
confront this infiltration of their lives and cultures by the formation of their own groups. The women of Chiapas, Mexico, are taking action.
The rebel movement designed to combat the forces of the Mexican paramilitary is known as the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN), and
more than one third of the EZLN is female (Capozza 1). The Zapatistas have waged a small, yet ongoing war for over five years that is making slow,

Socio Economics Of Reproductive Health
The Socio–Economics of Reproductive Health in Haiti Since the earthquake in 2010, Haiti has been forced to undergo extensive reconstruction efforts,
both socially and economically, all while garnering massive international attention. While certain social problems existed before this natural disaster,
the severity of these problems worsened in the after effect of its occurrence ("Haiti: The Challenges of Poverty Reduction 2011"). One social problem
that still plagues Haitian citizens is the high level of birth rates in the average household. National birth rates hold indicative associations with the
economic, political, and social health of a population; for instance, an increase in the birth rate of a country experiencing high national levels of
poverty can negatively impact facets of a country's well–being and sustainability through it positive correlation. These social problems within a state
work to filter out on a global scheme as humanitarian efforts are in high demand to reprieve an unstable, government with lackluster leadership. Haiti is
ranked as one of the lowest developing countries in the Western Hemisphere ("Haiti: The Challenges of Poverty Reduction 2011"), weakening its
economic standing on a global front, calling out for intervention from these groups and organizations willing and able to provide support. The

Sexual Behavior And The Reproductive Health Of Adolescents
Introduction Let us face it, no one can stop young teenagers from having sex, and abstinence only education program systems are not only ineffective,
but unrealistic as well. Sexual behavior and the reproductive health of adolescents have emerged into radical public health matters (Danawi, 2016). For
years, schools have aimed to save sex education for high school students, but now with the rising numbers in unintended teen pregnancies, there
needs to be a transition into contraceptive education at an earlier age. There are many threats that are posed with ineffective education regarding
contraceptives and fertility control. For global health to be attained; younger generations need to be educated about where they can get
contraceptive options, it is a necessity for low income areas to be informed about access to reduced contraceptive costs due to ObamaCare, and
male education needs to be considered more for the involvement of fertility control (Planned Parenthood, 2016). The Healthy People Project 2020
aims towards attaining a higher quality of life, longer lives free of disability or disease, and creating overall good health for all (Healthy People,
2016). Globally, contraceptive education and use is an extremely important role that needs to be implemented on all costs. Around the globe, more

Child marriage, also known as Child, Early, and Forced Marriage (CEFM), by the United States Agency of International Development (USAID), is an
issue of global proportions. Since, the problem itself crosses multiple aspects of a society, a multi–sector approach is recommended by USAID and
many other global nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to alleviate the burdens that are both causes and effects of CEFM (Glinski, Sexton, &
Meyers, 2015). Child ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These religious traditions, which have become normalcies, regardless of legislation to raise the minimum age for marriage to eighteen, CEFM is still
widely practiced. This presents an uphill battle that requires a multi–sector approach to address not only religious aspects, but also financial and
economic factors that may limit the poorest of women from attaining the healthcare required to treat the harmful consequences of adolescent
pregnancy. This puts women at even greater risk for maternal mortality, and post–natal mortality.
Many successful interventions and sustainable strategies have been proven useful in shifting perspectives both in respects to gender inequality and
access to essential resources, which all have an affect on reducing rates of CEFM across the globe. In Morocco, the King has already taken initiative
toward passing laws raising the minimum marriage age from fifteen to eighteen, for women, in Article 19 of the reformed "Moudawana al–Usra" (pg.
218), Morocco's Family Code, passed in 2004 (Zvan Elliot, 2009). This is one example of how the government's role has supported the multi–sector
approach.
Since the multi–sector system brings together outside global NGO's, inter–agencies, government, and ministries of health and justice, adolescent

Sexual And Reproductive Health Care Issues
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reports that "adolescents ages 15–24 account for nearly half of the 20 million new
cases of STD's each year."1 Though all 50 states and the District of Columbia allow adolescents to be tested and treated for STDs without parental
consent or knowledge of the procedure, many adolescents forgo the tests in fear that their parents may become aware of their tests through insurance
notifications. I feel that it is unfortunate that some adolescents are not able to have open communications with their parents about sexual and
reproductive health care issues. Conversations about these issues should begin early in life so children will not feel self–conscious when discussing

Planned Parenthood: Reproductive Health Care
When the name, "Planned Parenthood", comes into conversation, the first thing to come to one's mind it simply: abortion. The current controversy is
that Planned Parenthood should not be funded by the government because its use of money to the perspective of the public eye. Because the company
is so highly associated with abortions, taxpayers bring up the fact that the government should not be funding companies like Planned Parenthood due to
their affiliation with the medical fields including abortion. However, Planned Parenthood should continue to receive funding because despite getting
government aid, the establishment is so much more. Planned Parenthood is an American company that specializes in health care, more specifically, in
contraception and reproductive health.[ Laura Basset, "Indiana Shut Down Its Rural Planned Parenthood Clinics And Got An HIV Outbreak" (March
31st, 2015) ] The health care services are offered to women and men who want to be educated on the information or are not financially able to afford
going to hospitals to get care. The fact that Planned Parenthood is so accessible to those who are poor is already giving so much to the public that
without government funding, would be nonexistent to those living in poverty. To quote Emily Cadei, "cutting funding to Planned Parenthood is limiting

Essay Caribbean Women
Although the Caribbean can boast that in its short history as independent states, women have been able to break the glass ceiling and rise to the highest
levels, including the office of the Prime Minister, and despite laws which protect the rights of women, inequality between men and women remains
widespread and deep rooted in many cultural practices and traditions. Like other women in developing countries, Caribbean women face though choices
every day,– choices where cultural tradition often conflict with their human rights.
Women who chose to have children have been made to live with that often repeated phrase that the problems of the world are caused by poor women
having too many babies. This of course is simply a diversion from ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
There is no fundamental contradiction between placing blame on poor women's fertility for the world's problem. Mazur states that, "Betsy is
insinuating that everyone working on issues such as population and the environment are misogynistic and want to bring back the idea of 'population
control.. I am committed to environmental sustainability, reproductive health and rights, and to the eradication of the division between rich and poor,
men and women. I strongly believe that by reducing population growth– women should have the right and power to make their own decision about
childbearing..." [3]
There is a new project about the environment and the population, with its main objectives to reduce slowing population growth without coercion or
infringing on their Human Rights by means of recognizing the need for reproductive health services for women so that they are able to make their own
decision. However; this is not a new idea, some outreach programs provides voluntary contraceptives for poor women, who are still being blamed for
the environmental problems, and demand reduction in birth rate in developing countries. It should be highlighted that the Optimum Population Trust,
prides itself on "non–coercive policies to control and maintain the growth of the population...empowering women to maintain their fertility". According
to Mazur's, the OPT states, "All future environmental problems, and especially those arising from climate change, would be easier to address with a

Women's Health And Reproductive Rights
In my research of the Center for Reproductive Rights it has become abundantly clear that women's health and reproductive rights are linked to the
overall social and economic well being of society. Large scale gender discrimination impedes a woman's ability to be fully productive members of
society and their stifles their contributions to the economy. Sharp, Register and Grimes point out that women often experience wage and occupational
discrimination as demonstrated by a full–time working women earning, on average, 80 percent of what a man working full–time earns. (2013., p. 189)
They go on to tie this discrimination to how women are socialized to pursue professions that are seen as more feminine and are linked to domestic

The Importance Of Teen Pregnancy
The United States remains the highest unintended teen pregnancy rate among all developed countries. Teenagers are at the vulnerable age where their
hormone peaks causing secondary sex characteristic changes, yet there is a lack of support and access for teens get help (Patel et al., 2016). The
consequence of teen pregnancy can lead to physical, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and societal detriments, which can cause a ripple effect onto the next
generation. Child bearing during adolescence is associated with adverse outcomes such as: maternal and fetal health risk, infected with sexual
transmitted diseases, more often face poverty, and the loss of social and economic opportunities as a result of less formal education (Krugu, Mevissen,
Prinsen, Ruiter, 2016). This paper will elaborate teens' experience on sex health, nurses' role in this phenomenon, and key findings in literatures.
Ultimately, finding the meaning of how does families of adolescents with a close relationship and open communication perceives sex education and
pregnancy.
Importance to the Science of Nursing
Teen pregnancy is concerning in both public and acute settings. Reproductive health ranges on a vast continuum, from physiological needs to
self–actualization for both the teen mother and the child. It is imperative for nurses to be able to recognize and be equipped with competency to

Summary Of Marie Claire's Campaign 'Reproductive Health Bill'
In Marie Claire's campaign advertisement, the magazine company graphically launches a campaign for the Reproductive Health Bill. Marie Claire
incorporates specific elements within the ad, including imagery and metaphors, that help produce a powerful message to signify the stance the
publication takes in regards to the bill. The advertisement further achieves this by strategically utilizing particular literary appeals, such as pathos,
ethos, and logos, in a political context to both evoke feelings from the public and argue the case for readers to speak out and think for themselves when
considering the Reproductive Health Bill Campaign.
In the advertisement, the Marie Claire campaign largely uses the literary appeal of pathos to challenge the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Marie Claire accomplishes this by making evident to the readers that this ad represents a real–life, current event that is affecting the society as a whole.
The violent image of the ad not only grasps the audience's attention, but also bestows them with some knowledge and insight on the issue and
challenges them to think about their stance on the ethical concerns of the bill. For instance, emotions of horror and sympathy for the woman are aroused
upon viewing the poster, which, in turn, allows the audience to feel more inclined to support the notion of the bill and its principles. Thus, Marie
Claire bluntly displays the shocking image as visible proof of the unethical nature at hand, allowing the readers to come to the logical conclusion that
they must support the bill in order to act in accord with their invoked feelings. The campaign incorporates the tagline "Don't Let Someone Else Speak
For You" along with the image in order to further build on the reasoning that individuals should make their decisions about their reproductive health and
that this right should not be given to others. This logic increases the public notion that speaking out will help eradicate the obstacles to a quality

Reproductive Health Personal Statement
Even as a child, I have always been interested in reproductive health. Before my mom went to nursing school, she worked as a birth and
breastfeeding consultant, so I was frequently exposed to books and films about the subject. While my sisters wanted to watch cartoons, I would
ask to watch "the babies being born video." My mom was very open with me about reproductive health, explaining periods to me when I was six
years old simply because I asked. I have carried this interest in reproductive health with me into my adult life and hope to one day become a certified

Reproductive rights are important because, simply, they are human rights. Too, though, reproductive rights are especially unique and important because
they primarily affect marginalized groups including trans* folks, queer people, and women. Access to reproductive health resources is often not
available to all groups and income levels, so it is important to work towards making them more accessible for all. Additionally, racism, climate change,
and ableism are issues of reproductive rights because all of these things prevent people from ensuring the safety of their children or potential future

Discussion On Abortion
US POSITION
The US and UNPA
The U.S continually supports UN programs and there are many national and international debates about the subject. But the relationship between the
U.S. government and UNFPA has followed a path similar what is known as the "gag rule" (Guttmacher, (2015); Jones, (2011). The global gag rule
(also known as the Mexico City Policy) is a rule that prevents any organization (including UN agencies) receiving U.S. international family planning
funds from providing counseling or referrals for abortion or advocating for access to abortion services in their country even with their own money (PIA,
(2015); Guttmacher, (2015); Jones, (2011). Though it has political connotations, I say it is a national policy that keeps changing ... Show more content

Someone might be against abortions on moral grounds but still support the legalization of it, because criminalizing abortion will bring more hard to
the mother (Brannigan & Boss (2011). The UN believes that denying access to family planning will hurt women and create a poorer social outcome
for the families, women, and girls (PIA, 2005). It is better to provide women with the necessary tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies and abort if
necessary in a safe fear–free environment. Legal barriers will lead to denial in access which will lead to unsafe abortions. The United States does not
support coercive abortion or forced sterilization. The U.S. has funded and defunded UNFPA from time to time depending on how the administration of
the day interprets the gag rule. Regardless of the moral status of the fetus, my moderate view is that abortion might be morally wrong, but making it
illegal will create more harm to society, especially to women. My perspective is therefore a utilitarian moral

Reproductive And Sexual Health Policies
Introduction Reproductive health policies have always been controversial in the United States. There are diverging views of what should be
considered policy and what should not be considered. There are differing views on how far reproductive and sexual health policies should go to
protect the rights of all citizens in reproductive and family planning matters. Despite the differing opinions and uncertainty in how to proceed with
reproductive health policies, there is one thing that is certain. Sexual and reproductive health outcomes in the US are worse than most other
high–income countries even though we spend more on health care per capita.

Various social and cultural barriers have created disparities among various groups of women that have led to poorer reproductive and sexual health
outcomes for some women more than others. Something has to be done to reverse these trends in poor health outcomes so that everyone can live a
happier and healthier life.
Literature Review
The Supreme Court case Hobby Lobby v. Burwell is an important event for reproductive and sexual health policy because it gives some religious
institutions, organizations and businesses the option to opt out of the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate. Small religious groups that oppose
the mandate cite "religious freedom" as a constitutional right that should substantiate their exemption. However, this ruling has adverse effects on the
reproductive and sexual health rights of women who are employed by these companies.Patton, Hall, and Dalton 's (2015) study focuses on the
perspectives of women in regards to reproductive and sexual health policy. The study uses descriptive statistics, bivariate chi–square tests, and
multivariate logistic regression to determine if there is an association between religious affiliation and women's attitudes towards reproductive and
sexual health policies.

Sexual and reproductive health deals with the state of complete physical, mental and social well being, not just the absence of disease or infrimity.
The article points out that there needs to be a social impact on sexual and reproductive health services and for policy makers to be aware of these
things so their can be funding for these programs and public education about it too. The reason why this is an interesting topic is because each

Investing in Family Planning Services
In a developed first world nation where the use of contraceptive such as birth control and condoms is due to the fact that our governments are
concerned about the rates of teenage pregnancy, but for an underdeveloped nation it spells out demise for a woman to be a single mother and have a
difficult time staying in school, social isolation and more unplanned pregnancies (Kane and Wellings, 1999). In those underdeveloped countries the
problem lie where the widespread failure of not using the contraceptive correctly. For example in the UK, where contraceptive is available for free at
least a quarter of the of pregnancies ending in abortion are conceived without contraception and most of those resulted in incorrect use or inconsistent
use (Glasier et al, 2006).

Newborn care is essential for the survival of an infant during its first year of life as well as the mothers also, according to the report, maternal

Pros And Cons Of International Family Planning
Before reading chapter 8 I had no idea what international family planning really was, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one who didn't. I believe
that if most people knew what internationally family planning was and what it really meant then then there would be a lot more people angry with the
decision to stop all funding to UNFPA. This organization does so much for everyone around the world like, advises governments onfamily planning,
reducing poverty, reproductive health, and many other ways. The United States apparently stopped funding this program because it supposedly
"supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization". The UNFPA actually posted a statement on
their official website denying the claim and stating that "all of its work promotes the human rights of individuals and couples to make their own
decisions, free of coercion or discrimination". I don't think people or even the president knows how negative of an impact denying future funds to the
UNFPA is going to effect the world. I believe that if our president Donald Trump had taken the time to learn about UNFPA and what they stand for
then maybe he wouldn't have stopped all funding. This decision has made not only the women within the United States feel like they don't have a say
in their reproductive rights but, it also makes it look like we don't care about the reproductive rights of any woman in any nation. The United States not

If a family loses a family member due to inadequate health care, an unsafe abortion, it can affect the family's financial stability if she was a
breadwinner, if there is no one else to care for children, and/or if the family is burdened with health care or funeral costs (Harman, 2016, p.526). If the
lack of family planning options, such as birth control, results in more children than a family can support, not only do their finances suffer, but their
overall socio–economic status, including nutrition, education, and health declines (Guttmacher, 2012).
It has been shown that there is a positive correlation between family planning and a woman's level of schooling and lower fertility rates (Joshi &
Schultz, 2013, p.161). Hypotheses for the decline in fertility rates are both that higher educated women may have more skills to assess and seek out
contraception, as well as the ability to choose employment over having children (Joshi & Schultz, 2013, p.161). They also may simply be unable to

  • 1. Sexual And Reproductive Health, Tobacco And Alcohol Usage,... Issues related to sexual and reproductive health, tobacco and alcohol usage, infectious disease and environmental related heath issues are major concerns for Mongolian youth. All medical and hospital services are free and health care is under the control of state[1]. Each province has at least two hospitals, and as of 2004 there were approximately 18 dentists, 31 pharmacists, 267 physicians, and 305 nurses per 100,000 people[2]. The WorldHealth Organization established and supports nine adolescent–friendly clinics around Mongolia. The clinics staff is trained on the adolescent orientation package, which focuses on counseling, managing general and special problems, as well as referrals. The clinics promote preventive messages on the psychosocial, nutritional, diseases prevention and sexual aspects of health. Although the clinics were youth friendly, the clinics lacked space, were not easy to reach, and were not open during convenient times[3]. The services provided at these adolescent–friendly clinics were free and International Planned Parenthood Federation clinics charged a small fee. WHO 2002 reports show that 34% of youth were afraid that the health services received at these clinics were inadequate, 57.3% of the same youth reported that health care workers were inattentive to their health concerns and problems as well as given poor services [3].

  • 2. The Importance Of Education In Education Education The association between birth spacing and formal education in the context of age at marriage is complex. The length of time a girl remains in formal school reduces her time spent in marriage during her reproductive life, and in turn shortens her window of childbearing years. Furthermore, by forcefully removing girls from school at an early age they are unable to receive the proper information and knowledge involving sexual and reproductive rights and health (Myers & Harvey 2011; Jain & Kurz 2007). Often under pressure from her husband, family, and society to prove her fertility, girls tend to have more frequent, poorly spaced births when married young compared to their adult married counterparts (Nour 2006). Benga et al. (2013) found that in rural communities in southern Ethiopia short birth intervals were almost twice as likely for mothers who had no formal education compared to their educated counterparts. Similarly a different study in Ethiopia by Hailu and Gulte (2016) found that women who had no formal education were three times more likely to experience short birth intervals when compared to their educated counterparts. This is in line with a study from northern Iran that found the length of birth interval significantly increased when women have a higher level of education (Hajian–Tilaki et al 2009). The length of inter–birth intervals studied in Tanzania was related to the maternal level of educational attainment such that as the level of education increase, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It is our moral and ethical duty to fight regain these rights back for some of the most disadvantaged and powerless women in the world. Women should be able to have a choice about what happens to their own bodies, and be the masters of their own destiny. This policy is an assault on women's health and we need to stand up and fight for the repeal of this unfair and unjust law.

As one expert has said, "Fewer women will now get contraception and be able to have children by choice, not chance." While this legislation does not currently prevent women in America from accessing abortions or contraception, Trump's attitude towards women'sreproductive rights should be a frightening wake up call to us all, as it is foreshadows what could easily happen within the United States. Trump has clearly stated that he supports an abortion ban at home and identifies himself as "pro–life". Do not be complacent, Trump's anti women sentiments can easily be turned into policy here in the US, making it more difficult for women to access essential reproductive care. Join me in standing up and speaking out for women's right to have control over their reproductive health, regardless of where they live in the world. We will not be silenced or gagged from having a voice in our own future and that of other woman. Women's bodies are not, and should not be, something that can be governed. This misguided and outdated law does not decrease the number of abortions that are occurring, but instead places women's emotional and physical health and wellbeing at risk. This legislation clearly threatens the health and lives of women all around the world; we need to unite to support our sisters in the fight to regain our right to control our own ...

  • 6. Women 's Health Care And Reproductive Rights Abortion has been one of the hottest topics concerning women's health care and reproductive rights. Tune into any presidential debate and you'll notice candidates spending as much time discussing the topic as immigration, foreign policy, climate change, and gun control. There are a lot of misconceptions about the pro–choice movement but it can be explained in very simple terms. Being pro–choice does not mean pro–abortion, it simply means accepting that women have the choice to choose what they do with their bodies, not the government or anyone else. I believe strongly in this issue and believe that we should look at our past and not go back to a time where women did not have the same rights as men over their bodies. We are trying to become equal, not return to an era of submission. No man or government should have the power to control a women's body; every person has a right to his/her own body. Abortion should be kept an easy, accessible, safe, and legal option for all women regardless of beliefs. We should be taking strides forward toward equality, not steps back. In the mid–twentieth century, second wave feminists saw major struggles of women and sought to radically improve and change the security of women and reproductive rights. We have fought hard for many of the rights we have today, but everyday we are challenged by those who want to oppose and erase our efforts.

While some participants dropped out of the study, there was evidence that an HIV education for prevention method was successful. After the study, researchers found that there was an overall better understanding of sexual anatomy knowledge, increased communication with children about sexual issues, and in some cases; safer sex. In the United States, there have been 19 million new STD infections per year. In addition, there are much higher rates of STD's among racial and ethnic minorities than Non–Hispanic Caucasians. Through research, the CDC has been able to find that factors contributing to this difference are poverty, lack of access to health care, and an already high prevalence of STD's in racial minorities (CDC, 2009). Chlamydia, a Sexually Transmitted Disease that is becoming more prevalent, has reached to 23,465 new cases in D.C. between 2004 and 2008.

Parents' Sex Talk with Kids: Too Little, Too Late, authored by Alice Park, states "Parental talks about sex and sexuality need to occur much earlier than they do, but that doesn't necessarily mean that parents have only one shot at getting it right... experts also say that parents should discuss certain issues with their children at age–appropriate times, and that the discussion should evolve as children mature" (2008). When a child is curious about anything they will investigate on their own, usually the investigation leads to questioning peers and other people their age. When a child learns about sex through other children or adolescents they will, most likely, not be getting all the facts and it may lead to personal investigation through physical exploration. This can lead to children having sex too early. Having sexual education in schools can ensure that children and adolescents will be getting educated properly. When a child is in sex education they can gain knowledge and techniques to properly ask their parents the personal questions they may have if they don't feel comfortable asking the teacher. When a child has intelligence on their side they have confidence to voice themselves. Children may want to talk to their parents but not know how to start the conversation or what they want to ask.

By: Chiranjeevi. T Research narratives: Maternal health includes the physical, mental and social well–being of women during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period. Reproductive health is an indispensable ingredient of health and a major determinant of human development. Nearly 65,000 women die annually in India as a consequence of pregnancy and childbirth and 17 lakh children die before reaching to age of 5 years (Gupta and Nair 2010). These deaths are unjust and can be avoided with key health interventions, like provision of antenatal care and medically assisted delivery (Adam et al. 2005; MCcaw–Binnsetal 2007 quoted in Chinmankar and Sahoo 2011).

Specifically for males, options for contraceptives remain fairly limited due to the market's focus on the protection of women more often than men.

Barrier methods such as the condom, the vasectomy, and newly introduced Vasalgel make up the available options to men looking to prevent unwanted reproduction.

The Center for Disease Control (2017) reported that nationally, condom hardware has a "typical failure rate of 18 percent" when used by the average adult, making it a rather safe option. The US Department of Health and Human Services (2014) stated that a major benefit of condoms, remains their availability in nearly every supermarket and health retail stores; they are readily accessible to consumers across all economic backgrounds. Generally, condoms cost less than 1 dollar per unit and have no restrictions of age or prescription required for purchase. Health departments and clinics often offer free condoms as a initiative for safer sex in the community. Despite being time consuming and inconvenient, condoms remain a popular and impermanent option as a method of male contraception. The Vasectomy First introduced in the 1950's on a national level, Vasectomies emerged as the first procedural contraceptive option for men. Commonly known as the "sterilization method," a vasectomy aims to terminate the access of sperm through the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the testicals, to the outside of the male body with the possibility of reproduction. Vasectomies insure a reliable form of contraception for men without having to repeatedly use a condom.

  • 14. The Effects Of Air Pollution On Reproductive Health Any agent that disrupts embryo development or fetal development is known as Teratogens. Teratogens can stop the pregnancy outright, or in cases of full term pregnancies, cause birth defects to the child. Some categories of teratogens are environmental and subjective teratogens. Environmental teratogens relate to environmental factors that cause birth defects or termination of a pregnancy. Subjective teratogens are substances in which the mother consumes that cause defects to the child or also termination of a pregnancy. Substances such as air pollution, pesticides and mercury, as well as tobacco, alcohol and drugs are reported as having environmental and subjective teratogenic properties. Airborne particle matter small enough to penetrate human respiratory tracts are referred to as air pollutants; environmental teratogens. "The bulk of all air pollution research target reproductive health has been conducted only in the past decade. Recently this research has begun to focus on one specific source of modern–day air pollution– traffic exhaust."

  • 15. Effect Of The On Reproductive Health Effect on Reproductive Health The subsequent immune suppression that is caused by infection can be detrimental to the affected cow's reproductive health and efficiency. Since a dairy operation relies on a steady volume of milk being produced, it is vital that cows conceive regularly in order to start their next lactation cycle in a reasonable amount of time. Therefore, reduced reproductive efficiency due to mastitis can become a chronic and costly problem for producers. Conception The metabolic stress associated with mastitis can cause cows to be anovular (having an irregular ovulation cycle) for prolonged periods of time32. Follicular growth is inhibited, which prevents ovulation and the inflammation caused by mastitis produces higher levels of prostaglandins that interfere with regulation of the oestrus cycle33. Hormone levels too high or too low at the wrong point in the cycle will prevent regular oestrus and ovulation. An anovular period of approximately 40 days after calving is normal and needed for the reproductive system to heal34. This time frame can become longer due to infections and incur non–productivity costs to the farm. The disruption of the regular cycle results in an increased period of time between calving and the next conception as well as an increased number of services required to achieve conception. Research from the University of Minnesota states that cows without mastitis become pregnant 25% faster than cows with mastitis32. In addition, calving ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Margaret Sanger And The Issue Of Reproductive Health Margaret Sanger and the issue of Reproductive Health Women have been fighting for the same rights and privileges of men for over a hundred years. The majority of these rights dealing with the basic autonomy of their own bodies and the right to make decisions about reproduction. The role of women has been seen as homemaker, caretaker, and ultimately Mother. Having children and raising children is often seen as the primary job of women in the home. However, in the early 20th century having a great number of children became a public health concern among women who were having multiple births. The number of women who died during childbirth in 1900 was six to nine in every 1000, while one in five children died within their first five years. (Achievements in Public Health, 2000) This was not seen as an epidemic, however, except by one woman, Margaret Sanger. Sanger believed that women deserved the right to choose and control their reproduction while offering safe methods of birth control.

Specifically, the topic of women's reproductive health and rights has been the subject of controversial debate for many years. There have been countless organizations formed that often debated the validity and sometimes even the legality of health programs that include reproductive health. There are many different aspects and topics under the wide umbrella that is women's reproductive health and the one that is argued about and debated on the most is the topic of abortions. Two organizations that have opposing stances on reproductive health are Planned Parenthood and the National Right to Life organization. Their opposing viewpoints make it hard to come to a compromise but they do both agree on some sort of health care so the best solution would be to devise legislation for health care for women. Planned Parenthood is a women's health care provider. This organization goes above and beyond research and help when it comes to providing women across the nation with the health care they need. They "respect each individual's right to make informed, independent decisions about health, sex, and family planning" (Planned Parenthood).

However, these women have rebounded, and began to confront this infiltration of their lives and cultures by the formation of their own groups. The women of Chiapas, Mexico, are taking action.

Socio Economics Of Reproductive Health The Socio–Economics of Reproductive Health in Haiti Since the earthquake in 2010, Haiti has been forced to undergo extensive reconstruction efforts, both socially and economically, all while garnering massive international attention. While certain social problems existed before this natural disaster, the severity of these problems worsened in the after effect of its occurrence ("Haiti: The Challenges of Poverty Reduction 2011"). One social problem that still plagues Haitian citizens is the high level of birth rates in the average household. National birth rates hold indicative associations with the economic, political, and social health of a population; for instance, an increase in the birth rate of a country experiencing high national levels of poverty can negatively impact facets of a country's well–being and sustainability through it positive correlation. These social problems within a state work to filter out on a global scheme as humanitarian efforts are in high demand to reprieve an unstable, government with lackluster leadership.

Sexual Behavior And The Reproductive Health Of Adolescents Introduction Let us face it, no one can stop young teenagers from having sex, and abstinence only education program systems are not only ineffective, but unrealistic as well. Sexual behavior and the reproductive health of adolescents have emerged into radical public health matters (Danawi, 2016). For years, schools have aimed to save sex education for high school students, but now with the rising numbers in unintended teen pregnancies, there needs to be a transition into contraceptive education at an earlier age. There are many threats that are posed with ineffective education regarding contraceptives and fertility control. For global health to be attained; younger generations need to be educated about where they can get contraceptive options, it is a necessity for low income areas to be informed about access to reduced contraceptive costs due to ObamaCare, and male education needs to be considered more for the involvement of fertility control (Planned Parenthood, 2016). The Healthy People Project 2020 aims towards attaining a higher quality of life, longer lives free of disability or disease, and creating overall good health for all (Healthy People, 2016). Globally, contraceptive education and use is an extremely important role that needs to be implemented on all costs.

These religious traditions, which have become normalcies, regardless of legislation to raise the minimum age for marriage to eighteen, CEFM is still widely practiced. This presents an uphill battle that requires a multi–sector approach to address not only religious aspects, but also financial and economic factors that may limit the poorest of women from attaining the healthcare required to treat the harmful consequences of adolescent pregnancy. This puts women at even greater risk for maternal mortality, and post–natal mortality. Many successful interventions and sustainable strategies have been proven useful in shifting perspectives both in respects to gender inequality and access to essential resources, which all have an affect on reducing rates of CEFM across the globe. In Morocco, the King has already taken initiative toward passing laws raising the minimum marriage age from fifteen to eighteen, for women, in Article 19 of the reformed "Moudawana al–Usra" (pg. 218), Morocco's Family Code, passed in 2004 (Zvan Elliot, 2009).

The consequence of teen pregnancy can lead to physical, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and societal detriments, which can cause a ripple effect onto the next generation.

Marie Claire accomplishes this by making evident to the readers that this ad represents a real–life, current event that is affecting the society as a whole. The violent image of the ad not only grasps the audience's attention, but also bestows them with some knowledge and insight on the issue and challenges them to think about their stance on the ethical concerns of the bill. For instance, emotions of horror and sympathy for the woman are aroused upon viewing the poster, which, in turn, allows the audience to feel more inclined to support the notion of the bill and its principles. Thus, Marie Claire bluntly displays the shocking image as visible proof of the unethical nature at hand, allowing the readers to come to the logical conclusion that they must support the bill in order to act in accord with their invoked feelings. The campaign incorporates the tagline "Don't Let Someone Else Speak For You" along with the image in order to further build on the reasoning that individuals should make their decisions about their reproductive health and that this right should not be given to others.

It is better to provide women with the necessary tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies and abort if necessary in a safe fear–free environment. Legal barriers will lead to denial in access which will lead to unsafe abortions. The United States does not support coercive abortion or forced sterilization.

I believe that if most people knew what internationally family planning was and what it really meant then then there would be a lot more people angry with the decision to stop all funding to UNFPA. This organization does so much for everyone around the world like, advises governments onfamily planning, reducing poverty, reproductive health, and many other ways. The United States apparently stopped funding this program because it supposedly "supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization". The UNFPA actually posted a statement on their official website denying the claim and stating that "all of its work promotes the human rights of individuals and couples to make their own decisions, free of coercion or discrimination". I don't think people or even the president knows how negative of an impact denying future funds to the UNFPA is going to effect the world. I believe that if our president Donald Trump had taken the time to learn about UNFPA and what they stand for then maybe he wouldn't have stopped all funding.

If a family loses a family member due to inadequate health care, an unsafe abortion, it can affect the family's financial stability if she was a breadwinner, if there is no one else to care for children, and/or if the family is burdened with health care or funeral costs (Harman, 2016, p.526). If the lack of family planning options, such as birth control, results in more children than a family can support, not only do their finances suffer, but their overall socio–economic status, including nutrition, education, and health declines (Guttmacher, 2012). It has been shown that there is a positive correlation between family planning and a woman's level of schooling and lower fertility rates (Joshi & Schultz, 2013, p.161).
