In Response to Contraceptive

On November 2nd, 2018, Luwam Ghebregiorgis published her article to support providing free contraceptives to women. She claims that women with birth controls are empowered, have better care of themselves and are less likely to be depressed and experience domestic violence. In my opinion, women who are well educated and have plans to prevent unexpected pregnancy, can live free of stresses and nervousness of being pregnant.

I agree that sex can improve ones life in every aspects. But sometimes, we can make mistakes, and unpredicted pregnancy is one of the harmful consequences. Mrs. Ghebregiorgis has successful to address the importances to have accessible and affordable contraceptives to all women. However, it is not necessary to provide solutions freely. It will lead to misuse in needed individuals, and economically abuse to take advantage on the supply.

Moreover, our women are mostly educated with a majority graduated from some highschools, or colleges. Therefore, most of American women must have talked, educated and accesed to contraceptives, such as POPs, COCs, implants, ect. However, there are many unpredictable pregnancies recored in the country. The possibility can either be abused, raped, and specifically misusage of contraceptive. It is difficult to discuss about the first two cases, but misuage of birth controls is surprisingly common in women. As a result, they will be considering to have an abortion, healthy or unhealthy. Therefore, the solution is not to make birth controls become easily accessible and affordable, but to educate and direct women to use contraceptives properly and reasonably. Once they fully understand what they putting into their body, they will become confident and live happily with no fear of being pregnant.

I do not oppose her thinking, but I do not agree with the solution. I suggest the government to subsidize for a lower contraceptive cost, and broadly direct women to use birth controls properly.
