Birth Control-An Overview
"Hello, can I speak with Greg please?" (pause) "Hey this is Angie...we need to talk." "About what, we don't go together anymore?" Everyday another young girl is finding out that she is pregnant and telling their partner. Why are more and more young girls becoming pregnant now days? Due to the lack of birth control. These young girls are either unaware or incorrectly using birth control and not thinking about the possible consequences. They are decreasing their chances of going to college, traveling, or achieving their goals in life. Instead, they are increasing the possibility of becoming pregnant or getting an STD or disease, of which neither they are mentally, physically, or economically ready to handle.

Through these programs women all over have been able to become better educated on how to care for themselves and others. Yet, though these programs are in effect, there are still 150 million women who want birth control but do not have the means to receive it. The programs, which are in over 60 different countries, are very effective. They help reduce the child mortality rate, protect public health, educate women and girls, and foster economic growth (International Family).
