In order to promote and preserve or democratic republic is by letting us women choose what we want to do with our bodies. Although birth control is a big issue, it should not be. I just do not see what the big deal is about birth control. It is NOT abortion. Birth control is to prevent having babies. Even now birth control is not just used to control having "birth" but it is also for people to regulate their period, clear acne, reduce cramps, reduce the risk of ovarian cysts, and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Birth control is never used to "kill" fetuses, that is called abortion and that is a different process. I think that birth control should be a woman's choice not the choice of a man. If men were able to get pregnant, then they would know the reason why women are not against contraception.
But what I don't see clearly is why it is such a big issue for people. Another example that I am going to use is Rick Santorum.
Rick Santorum seems to have a big issue with contraception. When he was in the presidential debate, he said that states should be free to ban birth control because prenatal testing leads to abortion and that as president, he would warn the nation about the "danger of contraception." Well doesn't this seem reasonable? It doesn't.
I chose this comic for this topic because it is just funny to me how some men think that they know what is best for women. Men will never know what it is like to be a real women and what goes on with their body so what gives them the right to choose what we do with it? None. They should not have ANY right to tell us what to do with ourselves. Birth control is not here to hurt anyone, it is like a vaccination it is to prevent something so no one could get hurt.
