Contraception holds an important potential to reducing unwanted pregnancies especially among the

teenage, but has been opposed more than once by the anti-contraception organizations and crusaders
as an appropriate initiative.

However, although the rates of abortion have been indicated to have decreased since they hit an all
times high in 2006, there is need to look for better alternatives to birth control. Access to the
contraception has also been blamed for the higher abortion rates amongst the poor women than those
able to access the contraception methods.

Would you rather be safe and protected or at risk for a potential mistake? Birth control is for women
who want to help protect their body and prevent certain situations that they are either not prepared for
or not interested in. It is a widely taken prescription around the world even though it didn’t for
everyone to take until the 1970’s. Birth control is a safe prescription for young girls and women to take
because there are helpful health benefits,it helps prevent unwanted pregnancy, and it can help control
the population.

Despite the fact that the times are changing, one point has remained true. Determined teenagers will
continue to circumvent parental restrictions. There are several reasons why they should be granted full
access to various contraceptives.

Teenagers have legitimate reasons to fear damaging reactions from parents and society. Some are made
to feel as if they are filthy, whorish, sinful and hell bound. Many teenagers cannot suppress the feelings
and urges they have. Because rejection can be hurtful, teenagers need to have access to every available
resource. This reason follows the first, which was that sexually motivated teens will find a way to take
that orgasmic plunge. This means if they are ready for an intercourse, then they should be responsible
enough to grab their own protection. This removes excuses for having babies too early in life and
contracting STDs. Teenagers could feel as if they were not being treated like babies. Like it or not, two
teens are absolutely going to pursue that sexual sugar rush.
