Abortion as a health ethics issue assignment

As for the safer methods, being diaphragms and condoms combined with spermicidal foam or Jelly is inaccurate, awkward, and expensive. This, she argues leaves only one safe and fully effective form of birth control, the use of a barrier method with the backup option of abortion. Susan Sherwin made some valuable arguments in regards to birth control issue while ignoring the issue of responsibility. In discussing the use of protective methods, Sherwin says “ they may be socially awkward to use… Many women find their male partners unwilling to use barrier methods of contraception, and they do not eave the power to insist… Cost is a limiting factor” (Sherwin, 2009). It should be understood although these methods may be embarrassing, they may be difficult to discuss, and expensive, are not valid reasons for not using protection, and assuming responsibility. There are all forms of birth controls distributed at reasonable prices and in some areas, condoms are free. Embarrassment should not be accepted as a valid reason for not using protection, from women or men. In order to be seen as equals women must be willing to voice their opinions and desires. Sherwin article goes not acknowledge this fact.
