Birth Control

"An abstract right to birth control does not guarantee women's freedom to choose how to make use of that right." This is from the Davis reading and I think that this is a very relevant issue we are facing right now. Though the right to birth control is there the cost for those who don't have insurance or a plan that doesn't cover most of the cost. We also have a big problem with those in our government arguing about whether birth control should be paid for by the people of the US. But that isn't the only problem women are facing with the right to birth control. Morals play a very big part. This moves into the Haker reading with the political vs. the ethical issue. I thought that this reading was very interesting, but I come away from this reading feeling that morals do play a lot into our politics, but they shouldn't. 

" Women are moral agents who claim all political and social rights, basic health care, information and education on birth control and health related practices, and generally equal rights to their well-being and freedom" 

I think that it is a woman's choice to whether she wants contraceptives. There is a need to bring a halt to those who rule by their own morals to stop others. Women have right's to do what they want with their own bodies. Our world is changing and the ease of controlling whether you have a child or not is important in a world where "women became more independent...educated...and [have] gained well-paid positions in society." Some women don't want to have children at all. I almost think you could look at it as the female non-invasive vasectomy that a man can get. (which is covered by insurance).
