Reproductive justices are a huge factor within feminisms and feminist movements.]]> 2020-10-06 21:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808420740 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808423032 Women's Rights Movement:
a movement of women advocating for right's, opportunities, and more freedoms for all women
Contraception:
similar to birth control, any way of a oral or device used to prevent pregnancy
Feminism:
Women's advocating and protecting equal rights for "all genders" (IDWA)]]> 2020-10-06 21:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808423032 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808423849 Birth control has been around as long as "3000 BCE", when condoms were developed from "fish bladders" (OBOS, 2013).
Ever since, it has continued to develop. In 1960, the "first oral contraceptive" was developed, now known as the birth control pill (OBOS, 2013). In 1972, birth control was legalized for unmarried women. It has been legal since. In 2006, the Plan B, "emergency contraceptive", was approved (OBOS, 2013). It has continued to developed since. ]]> 2020-10-06 21:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808423849 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808424348 One reason people claim to the use of birth control is for religion purposes. In some religions, this may be considered a way to prevent a human life from living. The issue with this is that there is science to back up why birth control is used to prevent and not end a life. Also, so many people practice different religions, and this is ultimately why it is legal as a country in the USA. 
Another reason that birth control is controversial is because contraception can carry health risks. Thankfully, millions of women are on birth control and these contraceptive methods have been proven safe and effective, which is also why anyone outside of the woman taking it and her doctor does NOT have a say.]]> 2020-10-06 21:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808424348 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808425398 William (Bill) Baird is recognized as the person who advocated for the legalization of birth control in the United States. The supreme court case known as "Baird v. Eisenstadt" legalized birth control on March 22nd, 1972 (UMass EDU). Before Baird helped legalize birth control, he was arrested "eight times" while advocating for birth control and abortion (UMass EDU).  Baird decided to protest for women's rights after a mother to eight died in his arms, while trying to give herself an abortion. Baird wanted to make birth control legal so women could prevent pregnancy if they chose to. He fought for women's rights and eventually led to the decision to legalize birth control in 1972.]]> 2020-10-06 21:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808425398 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808427616 -"12.6%" of women ages 15-49 are using the birth control pill (CDC)

Margaret Sanger advocated for women to "control" their use of birth control, which eventually led to an introduction of a contraceptive birth control pill in "1960" (ushistory.org).]]> 2020-10-06 21:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808429501 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808430595 Overall, we can see that birth control has many uses and it has been fought for by many people around the country. There are so many uses to birth control, and so many women depend on it for MANY reasons. The legalization allows women safe and effective methods to prevent pregnancy, help health conditions, and much more.]]> 2020-10-06 21:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808430595 shallomk https://padlet.com/shallomk/7opq3av1okbb4ocu/wish/808433990 - Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): birth control can ease up symptoms of PMS, which include fatigue, cramps, unbalanced emotions, and more, by balancing hormones for women
