of Discrimination Against Women, CEDAW is considered null and void due to the senate avoiding to allow its approval. This therefore discredits the accountability of the U.S., and its false assurance of equality to the female population. Amnesty International, the League of Women Voters, and AARP support “ratification of CEDAW.

alleged that Sanger’s original goal for Planned Parenthood was to “help kill black babies before they came into the world.”(Latson). Some historians and scholars examined Sanger’s correspondence and challenged those who call a racist activist. In 1939 Sanger outlined her plan to reach out to black leaders — specifically ministers — to help dispel community suspicions about the family planning clinics she was opening in the South.(Latson). However, Planned Parenthood officials are quick to note that,

Margaret Sanger “When a motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race."

It is reality that the rights that are customary for women in the twentieth century have been the product of the arduous physical and mental work of many courageous women. These individuals fought for the right for
For hundreds of years, the United States of America has been a country defined by its promising opportunities and freedom. However, America has proven many times it is not the promised land that many residents of other countries have viewed it to be. Issues like euthanasia, death penalty, freedom of speech, and abortion have given rise to questions of the freedom in America. Abortion has proven to be one of the more tenacious issues that has brought controversy to America. In the Encyclopedia

However, nothing stopped the Pill from catching on. The Pill was an international revolution as well. Today, more than 100 million women worldwide use the Pill to prevent pregnancy.

With more than 1.3 billion people, China has to think about a solution and find ways to deal with its population explosion. In order to have control over population, in 1970, a policy named China’s One Child Policy was introduced. Mingliang argues that, “China, through the one-child policy, has instituted the most aggressive, comprehensive population policy in the world” (1). This policy limits all families in the Republic of China to have only one child, regardless of the sex: however, within this
Raising a child can be the hardest thing for an adult to do. Children required a lot of time, money, and attention from the parents or the person caring for them. Puberty is one of the most difficult times for anyone due to the crazy hormones, different emotions and also trying to identify who they really are. Teens don’t only have to manage their hormones changing but also have to manage their school work, homework, clubs, sports, choirs, and some have to manage part-time jobs. Although the number

Abortion in the United States Abortion has been a complex social issue in the United States ever since restrictive abortion laws began to appear in the 1820s. By 1965, abortions had been outlawed in the U.S., although they continued illegally; about one million abortions per year were estimated to have occurred in the 1960s. (Krannich 366) Ultimately, in the 1973 Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, it was ruled that women had the right to privacy and could make an individual choice on whether
