...The Women Rebel Margaret Sanger, born 1876-1966, was an inspirational woman. Birth control, sex educator, writer, and nurse Margaret Sanger is a hero to women (Margaret Sanger Quotes). She started businesses to help women that are pregnant or are trying not to get pregnant. These businesses will help the woman decide whether or not to keep the baby, how to prevent getting pregnant, and much more. Events that happened in her life helped with Sanger’s passion for birth control. Her influences helped her a lot in her journey like anarchists, labor activist, and socialists (Margaret Sanger Quotes), all helped her make her dream come true.

...The Strategic Planning and Evaluation of Planned Parenthood Julie Carpenter HCA 421 Health Care Planning & Evaluation Instructor: Amanda Olderog January 13, 2013 In the business world, strategic thinking/planning is having the ability to see an organization in light of the “bigger picture;” seeing an organization how it is now, and how it will be in four or ten years down the road. Strategic planning implements knowledge of the industry’s direction and how an organization’s future plans align with that direction. In the true business management sense, strategy is distinguished by several key elements: 1. It steers the direction of the company and affects the long-term health of the company. 2. It is usually measured in years; it is a long-term plan that will take years to meet goals. 3. Its impact is felt company wide. 4. It builds on and utilizes all of the available company resources. 5. Its implementation is meant to gain an advantage over competitors. 6. It typically means change for the company in many different areas. 7. Its success is a result of the efforts and hard work of many people within the company. (Moseley, 2009). Planned Parenthood can date its beginning to 1916 when Margaret Sanger, her sister, and a friend opened America's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. (http://www.plannedparenthood.org). Although the state Montana elected a woman to the House of Representatives in 1916, many other states still...

...Maima D. Beer English 24 Prof. Thompson Date: 7/26/12 Final Research Paper Birth Control and Its importance for Women Rights Women for centuries have been subjugated to men, and it’s hard to believe but there was a time in history in this country when women didn’t have any rights. Women couldn’t speak in public without the permission of men and were only looked to for bearing children, while taking care of the home. Throughout history women have fought for their rights with movements like the suffrage and birth control movements. The birth control unlike the suffrage movement is still an ongoing battle, even though women have the right to contraception, but many women don’t have access to because of certain state’s government have laws limiting that access to birth control. By the government controlling women’s access to birth control they are controlling the liberty for women. Birth control has been a very controversial topic and taboo since the classical period. Before one can grasp why and how birth control and the use of birth control can be controversial, one will need to understand what birth control is and the history. First, birth control should be viewed as a woman’s basic right that goes hand in hand with her first amendment right, and without any interference from the government. The all encompassing question is what is birth control? Birth control is a practice, material, or device by which sexual intercourse can be rendered...

The theory part will describe the leadership and management theory that best represented them and the Analysis part will describe their actions, beliefs, how effective their goals were, and was this the best leadership style for the group or era they were practicing in. Observation: Margaret Sander born in 1879 is the famous for her role in getting contraceptives for the poor in an era where only the “affluent and the educated in American society were the only ones to have reliable contraception” (Allender et al 2010, p. 32).She was inspired individually after her own mother died in her 18th pregnancies at the age of 48years battled Tuberculosis, but her “pregnancy contributed to her both contracting the disease and eventually succumbed to it”(Allender 2010, p.32). She then went to White Plain Hospital as a nurse probationer, and later became a visiting nurse. She is a social reformer, sex educator, and a nurse. The issue of contraception was very dear to especially in the 1912, “Sanger watched helplessly as a 28 year old woman of three died from abortion induced septicemia” that woman had secretly asked her ways to prevent pregnancy ( Allender 2012, p32). She could not do anything then because of the Constitutional Act of 1873 that prohibit the provision of any information about contraception to the populace. So then in...

Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization that provides the United States and other countries with reproductive care and education. Planned Parenthood originally started as a birth control clinic in 1916. Margaret Sanger, her sister and a friend opened the first birth control clinic in the United States.

...I chose procreation as a topic for this paper for a few reasons. First, because of complicity of the issue. Scope of this problem almost unlimited and correlates not only with modern legal and ethical general acceptable principals, but also with core issues of human existence. Second, I do believe, that understanding of origin of procreation and ability to build personal approach in this issue plays significant role for every professional in the Health Care System. Even if in real life situation some of us will never directly participate in solving such problem, still establishing firm personal position on this issue will benefited everyone who involved in running of human services. Third, I think that in the scope of course “Legal and Ethical issues in Health Care”, procreation could be a best example to justify my personal opinion on the social role of ethics and its priority over the social role of legal system. In comparing law and ethics, many people thinking about law as a sphere of clearly identified and easy to recognize points, while sphere of ethical issues for many, more-less limited to the individual stand points in terms of what is good and what is bad. However, it is an ethics established law, not law established ethics. Especially in the procreation dilemma, it turns out ethics plays a big part in all aspects of breeding, in the sense that ethics makes our choices relevant to other people. The decision to have or not to have children has a profound impact on all...

...The Birth Control Pill: Providing Surprises In Life Allison Wang California Polytechnic University Pomona Professor Lord ANT 350 Research Paper Abstract The pharmaceutical field has overcome countless medical feats since the early times. While “the pill” itself was considered a brand new invention, the idea of creating a birth control pill was not. Since the old times primitive condoms were made from animal intestines and fish bladders. However, it wasn’t until after Margaret Sanger’s multiple convictions and persistent attitude, that a judge ended the Comstock era, providing Sanger with the opportunity to stress the importance of having birth control in th for of a pill to the public. In less than a decade after Sanger persuaded Pincus to begin working on the contraceptive, Pincus created a pill that tested to be 100 percent effective. However, in 1957, while the Food and Drug Adminsitration approved the pill, it was not approved as a contraceptive but rather as a treatment for women that experienced sever menstrual disorders. It was not until 1960 that the drug was actually approved as a contraceptive. Despite this, many controversies arose from the contraceptive leading to its many transformations. Because the original pill had many side effects that were largely ignored, a newer pill with a smaller dosage was created, coming with a decreased risk of developing ovarian cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, and deficiency anemia in the users. Later on...

...become strong leaders in the household, not only holding their well-earned maternal nature, but also becoming a breadwinner along with their husbands. If not due to planned parenting, this may have not been so easily attainable for women. Along with given the power to have control of their own bodies, the use of BC “leads to many social and economic benefits for women, from educational attainment and personal autonomy to relationship stability and satisfaction” (Higgins and Smith 2016). This provides a huge benefit for women in their early years to directly compete with their male counterparts and hold positions at the same level. Not only has the BC pill given perks to women, but also to lower-class families. In the U.S., access to contraceptives were mainly attainable by rich families, but after the Food and Drug Administration approved the pill, the cost related to planned pregnancies was reduced by plenty (Guldi 2008). This allowed uneducated and poor women to be financially and mentally prepared before they give birth. Moreover, the pill involuntarily had become a tool to prevent children being...

...The organization I will be working with this semester is Planned Parenthood. This is a nonprofit organization that is “based on respect for each individual’s right to make informed, independent decisions about health, sex, and family planning”(Who We Are).

...Janelle Baird Professor John Snider WRIT 101 08/28/15 Planned Parenthood Recently I observed a debate about Planned Parenthood on the internet where both people brought informative material to the argument against and in support of the organization. This was an excellent opportunity for me and other people to see both sides of the argument so that we can become more open minded and educated on the matter of defending our own beliefs with facts and tested theories while understanding other viewpoints. This reminds me of the quote by a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher, Sun Tzu which states: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. For myself, I stand very passionately on the cornerstone that human lives, no matter how small or in whose womb they take form in, should be treated with humanity. So in the next four pages I am excited to bring forth the evidence I have found to petition the world to defund Planned Parenthood in support of my strong belief against the establishment. I am equally excited to give supportive information from the opposing side’s perspective. I understand that I do not understand everything. I have not experienced Planned Parenthood personally. I never had a reason to want an abortion neither was I an unplanned fetus that my parents wanted to eradicate. Therefore I cannot pull evidence from personal experience, but I can learn from and examine other people’s testimonies and gather...

...The Progressive Era was a time period of great change that took place between 1885-1920. The Era was an opportunity given to individuals to succeed. During The Progressive Era there were two groups involved in regulating social and political problems known as the muckrackers and the new middle class. The muckrackers were journalist who exposed corruption in the government and spoke about the truth behind everything in society. The progressive’s goals were to stop the abuse of power, labor laws, suffrages, the corruption of the government and its abuse of power. Progressive’s established settlement houses to improve the living conditions for the poor. They provided a large amount of activities such as education, medical help, nurseries, playgrounds and plenty more. If this wouldn’t of occurred then we wouldn’t have the support we do now from the government with affordable housing, welfare, public schools, and library. The fact we have public school is important because it provides us with the knowledge skills needed to pursue our career. This made a huge impact because schools expanded and states began to pass laws requiring children to attend school until the age of 14. This helped produce a better life for the future. It provided students with options as to what fields they want to study and gave them opportunities to become professionals. Muckrackers exposed corruption in the government and a change was needed in the society. Government was abusing its power with scandals...

...cell from a man, it will die and pass out of the uterus during abnormal menstrual period. But if intercourse takes place and the ovum is fertilized, conception occurs. The woman becomes pregnant, and nine months later, a baby will be born. Now, on the occasion that the parents of the unborn child do not want to have a baby, the parents may decide to use abortion, which expels the fetus from the womb via drugs, either oral or through injection. But if a couple decides early in a relationship to ultimately avoid having an offspring, they may practice birth control or contraception. The first time birth control was introduced to history was in the 1900’s. Population had increased rapidly. Margaret Sanger, a nurse, believed that the poor needed to control the size of their families. In 1916, Sanger established the first birth control clinic and in 1917, founded the National Birth Control League. Although widespread use of birth control is visible throughout the world, particularly in Europe and the United States, where birth control methods are legally available, not everyone is in favor of contraception. The Roman Catholic Church forbids artificial methods of birth control, upholding the belief that sexual love in marriage should never be separated from the chance of conception. RESEARCH LITERATURE The Reproductive Health Bill has two goals: to promote responsible parenthood through the use of birth control methods, and to assure widespread access to medically-safe, legal,...
