"Emergency Contraception
Introduction
In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 60 percent of all pregnancies were unwanted or mistimed at the point when conception occurred (Morgan & Deneris, 1997). Emergency contraception is the only contraceptive option that allows prevention of pregnancy after intercourse has occurred (Calebretto, 1999). It could offer significant reduction in the number of unintended pregnancies if given to all appropriate candidates, but opportunities for its use are often missed (Coeytaux & Pillsbury, 2001).
Studies have shown that providers= lack of knowledge about emergency contraception and/or misinformation about this method contribute to its underutilization. Media attention to emergency contraception has..."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the different types of emergency contraceptives such as the "morning-after pill" and Copper-T Intrauterine Device (IUD). It looks at how offering the emergency contraceptive pills for sale over the counter is a very controversial issue and how the on-going debate on whether to allow their open sale remains a tough issue.
From the Paper
"The other type of emergency contraceptives is the Copper-T Intrauterine Device (IUD). This can be inserted in the uterus of the woman up to five days after the sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy. It can then either be removed after the woman's next menstrual period, or it can be left in the body to provide continuous effective contraception for up to ten years p://ec.priceton.edu/questions/dose.html). The copper IUD alters the lining of the uterus by causing an inflammatory reaction that makes it inhospitable to implantation of the egg and hence prevents occurrence of a pregnancy. It also interferes with the fertilization and movement of the egg to the fallopian tubes (Winikoff and Wymelenberg, p 213, 1997). This method of contraception can only be done by a qualified physician because of the technicality of inserting the device in the right position."

From the Paper
"Emergency contraception is commonly known as the morning after pill. The name comes from the fact that these methods of birth control are used after a person has had unprotected sex. Unplanned pregnancies are common around the world and it is believed that 50 million unwanted pregnancies are terminated every year globally. [1]In the United States alone, 1 million and more abortions could be prevented with more widespread use of emergency contraceptives."

Abstract
This paper discusses Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical, entitled "Humanae Vitae," (or "On Human Life), which condemned the use of all artificial means of contraception as a sin and called on all Roman Catholics to reject the contraceptive mentality. It discusses the controversy surrounding his ruling and the practical implications of it for Christians.
From the Paper
" AIDS campaigners put the blame on the condoms ban as contributing to the spread of the disease (Bruce 2006). Reports said that the majority of the 40 million infected people came from developing countries in Africa and urged the Church to take appropriate action. The Catholic Church has dogmatically taught that each sexual act within marriage must always be open to procreation. The Vatican, however, stands pat on its teaching on condoms. It continues to teach that the only way to avoid AIDS is through fidelity and chastity. It neither confirmed nor denied the report on the evaluation of a possible relaxation of the condoms ban. Some predicted a change in the Church's teaching while others felt it would be a disastrous gamble to make over the one of the Vatican's major doctrines. It could compound controversies among Catholics and an erosion of faith even among the clergy in the highest levels in the Vatican (Bruce)."

Abstract
In this essay, the subject of contraceptives in Kenya is discussed. This includes why Western medicine will not work in a society that basis wealth on the size of the family, the lack of understanding on both parties involved, the failure of family planning programs and the lack of follow up procedures. Before seeing the western trend of smaller families as the ideal, the paper argues that one must look at the notion of children as a form of wealth in the African family. Children remain valuable assets, even when the family is faced with economic hardship. Furthermore, in advance of implementing western knowledge of contraception, both sides must be educated in each other's levels of understanding. Finally, to be educated, these women must have adequate resources. If high fertility rates want to be lowered, than there needs to be access to knowledgeable programs.
From the Paper
"The West fails on the absence of understanding why these contraceptives are unavailable, and when they are, why the Africans do not use them. The lack of understanding falls on the East when one realizes that they have no education on contraceptive issues. Absence of understanding of the African culture plays a part in the misconceptions of a high fertility rate."

Contraception Use in the United States, 2005.
This paper discusses trends in contraceptive use in the United States.

Abstract
This paper relates that female sterilization, especially among less educated and low-income women, and the use of the pill, especially among better educated women, white and higher-income women, have increased. The paper stresses that abortion, considered a form of birth control, remains one of the hottest areas of debate; within a decade of the "Roe vs. Wade" decision legalizing abortion, women still had difficulty obtaining abortion services and many have to travel out of state. The paper urges more research on a birth control pill for men stating that the economic value of the market for a male birth control pill could be greater than the economic value of the market for medications for the heart.
From the Paper
"The intervention of government in the area of birth control has continued to include free birth control and even mandatory Norplant proposals of individuals who receive welfare. In a number of states, there have been proposals to give women, on welfare, financial bonuses if they accept Norplant implants. There is opposition to this though.
Like mandatory Norplant proposals, offering financial incentives to poor women to use Norplant violates the law in a number of ways. These proposals represent an impermissible government intrusion into intimate decisions that are protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and similar provisions of many state constitutions."

"Acceptance and Perceptions of Norplant: A Proposal For a Replicative Study
The Problem
Although research has established the NORPLANT method as one of the most effective approaches to contraception, the method has not been widely adopted by women (Cullins & Garcia, 1997). The need for a safe and effective approach, however, to contraception continues to be great (Wildemeersch, Van Kets, Vrijens, Delbarge, Van Trappen, Temmerman, Depypere, & Thiery, (1997). Better information is required in relation to why women select the NORPLANT method and why the method is rejected, if the use of this effective approach to contraception is to be increased.

Female Contraceptives, 2004.
This paper describes and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of types of female contraceptives.

Abstract
The paper explains that one of the most commonly used contraceptives are birth-control pills or oral contraceptives, which contain the two female hormones, estrogen and progestin. The author relates that one of the more recent developments in contraceptives is commonly known as "The Patch", which works just like the contraceptive pill, except that a patch only needs to be applied weekly, whereas the pill needs to be taken daily. The paper concludes that the decision as to what kind of contraception to use is up to the individual; every woman needs to weigh the benefits and disadvantages of each method against her own needs.
From the Paper
"Contraceptive injections are a less popular form of contraception. This method requires an injection every three months, with the injection providing 99% effectiveness against pregnancy. The major benefit of this method is that action is only required once every three months. This means that women having sex regularly don?t have to worry about inserting diaphragms or taking pills on a daily basis. The major problem associated with the method is the side-effects that can occur. These side-effects include irregular periods, excessive periods and weight gain. These problems are enhanced because the side-effects will persist for the 3 month period."

Outline:
Introduction
Review of Literature
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The contraceptive patch gives the woman "continuous daily doses" of estrogen; the woman has to put a new patch on each week, so one can see that for a forgetful person, the patch might not be the best way to go. She puts a new patch on each week for 3 weeks, then goes a week without the patch, during which time her menstruation occurs. The FDA warns women who use the patch, that they are getting higher doses of estrogen than with oral contraceptives."
"Another option is the vaginal ring, which is "easily inserted" and it remains in her vagina for three weeks; she takes it out after three weeks, goes a week without a ring, and then puts a new one in for three more weeks."

Abstract
The writer argues that the morning-after pill is one more strategy for controlling reproduction. The paper examines how the pill offers women a second chance to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, a "Plan B" to go to if the first plan fails. The paper further examines how emergency contraception is safe and reliable and effective for nearly 90% of women. The writer concludes that taking a morning-after pill is far from irresponsible; it makes good sense.
From the Paper
"Emergency contraception is extremely safe. A combined dose of four 50-microgram pills is only about 1/3 of the estrogen contained in a month's supply of birth control pills. Women in the 1960s, when birth control pills first came out, took 50-micrograms every single day! Other medicines, which were once prescription-only, have become over the counter medicines with no problems--why not this needed product? Ferriman (1996) reports, "Nine out of ten women who have had abortions say they would have preferred to use emergency contraception if they had known about it." She also states that 70% of abortions could be prevented by emergency contraception."

Abstract
In 1995, Linda M. Dinerman, Michele D. Wilson, Anne K. Duggan and Alain Joffe, conducted a study to determine the differences in long-term pregnancy prevention in teens between the use of implants, oral contraceptives and other contraceptive methods. Their study employed a broad experiment that focused on 166 girls between the ages of 12 and 18 who were all sexually active. The experimental study discovered that the use of Norplant was a more effective method of contraception than any other method studied. The authors relied upon a hospital-based clinical setting in which to observe the participants. The study employed a quantitative method of research and was based upon solid theory. The results of the study can be considered statistically significant.
