Reforming Birth Control

The only reason I knew about this health care reform in the first place is because I am a social work major and we try to keep updated on major events. After our last Rhetoric class I felt like this topic got as heated as an abortion debate. I understand the complication to this debate, and there will be no easy solution or two black and white sides.

I think that our class was pretty together on the fact that we didn't approve of all the negative media attention and accusations for the bill. Even though I am someone who definitely encourage women's rights, and that ultimately the matter of birth control should be left up to them. Although I would be more agreeable to listen to the opposing debate if they had sufficient doctor and other medical professionals giving sufficient advice towards the subject or birth control. I also had a bit of an issue with the fact all the main contributors to the debate seem to be male, and not that I don't have anything against male contribution to the debate, it's just that I'm not okay with some guy trying to say that menstruation control isn't that big a deal or not something to be looked at. When a guy experiences the crap that a monthly gift brings, then ya go right ahead and say whatever you want, until then they should probably close their mouths.

The best suggestion I heard all class is that maybe changing the name from birth control, to something with a more neutral heading.

I don't think that this debate is going to end well, and I just hope that whatever happens I won't have to suffer through someone else's stupidity.
