Morality of Birth Control

I think that in todays society, compared in the 1920's when Margaret Sanger wrote this article, that Morality is not taken seriously as it once was in the past. Immorality is everwhere we look, with the technology, and entertainment that has grown throughout the years.

Sanger's "The Morality of Birth Control."

Of all the readings that we have up to date, I believe that Margaret Sanger's speech is the most interesting topic to write our second essay on. For some, it can be a very conterversial topic to write write on. I believe that one is either for or against the right to manage the size of their families.

Heart of Darkness

In Heart of Darkness it takes places during the Vietnam War? I am having a hard time picturing what I read, so If I have the idea of a time period I will be able to grasp the book better.
The Heart of Darkness is a hard book for me to understand. I am trying to understand the book from the narrator's view, but it is hard for me to develop a picture in my mind.

Contribution to Birth Control

Considering the time in which Margaret Sanger wrote her morality of birth control, the information she provided was not only accurate but useful up to today, am sure it gave some women and men an early start on birth control from that time on. The only thing that is of my concern when it comes to contraceptives, is the poor education that exists out there for women who are thinking of doing it because from what I have read, the procedure itself and its outcome are simply horrible; however, there were 46 million women in 1995 that had an abortion (legal and illegal) in the world! Am sure that if some of these women knew the truth behind abortions, many of them would of kept from doing it. I also, understand that that would defeat the purpose of birth control but when those women who had abortions keep having them year by year, are we really improving? I believe that contraceptives (before conception) will be the solution to the problem.

How many blog entries are recommended we make through out the semester??

Margaret Sanger

I am doing my essay on Margaret Sanger. I am surprised that this was a topic in 1921. Wow, if Margaret Sanger could have made an impression on churches in 1921, I would imagine that the United States would have a small population of human beings.
