Women’s Healthcare Rights

The debate over women’s health and reproductive rights can be a sensitive subject for some or a one-way street for others. Unfortunately the majority of decisions made on this subject, are not made by women but by men in a position on higher political authority or those from religious organizations.

Due to the recent heightened media attention regarding women’s contraception and health care, I’ve decided to write my research paper on this matter. I don’t intend to write this paper from the stance of which side is correct, or what side you should take, but instead to go deeper into the subject and take a look back over the years and the past century to get a better understanding of how we in America got to this place. When and where did these decisions and opinions come from and why those that are in a position to make a decision that affects over a hundred and fifty million women in the United States are trying to limit and deny them of equal rights and preventative care. I would also like to be able to show how both genders are affected by these decisions and highlight those individuals both women and men that are for or against women’s health and reproductive rights. Overall I hope this research paper enables me to have a clearer understanding of both sides and what the future of preventative care for women may look like.
