Families and Female Contraception: Family Planning

Here's the link to my article I used for this blog post.




Perhaps one of the biggest problems facing people in underdeveloping countries is their high risk of getting HIV/AIDs. HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that can be only avoided by using some sort of contraception device, either a female or male condom. Since many people in these countries are no as educated on these tools, often they contract the disease.

In this article, it is discussed that what is necessary is the involvement of developed nations, such as the United States. By providing these people with the tools and the knowledge of these tools, it can be expected that they will be able to stop the spread of this horrible disease. 
 
This is something that affects everyone in the world in a different way. With some countries, such as the developed nations, this is a chance to act and help. For those who need it, they await assistance. Contraception is extremely important in family planning, as women and men need to be able to control the amount of children they have. Also, having generations of people with a life-threatening STD is not conducive for happy and healthy nation’s family. This article in particular argues that female condoms would be easier to administer and that the women would be more likely to use them than men, as there have been attempts in the past to provide the men with condoms, but not all of their efforts were successful.
Overall this article instills that female contraception is vital to the future planning of families, for both developed and underdeveloped nations.
