America is still one of the countries with the worst maternity leave program. My question is why are these men in power hindering our women as if they do not have their own wives whom birth their children? If women were to stop having children due to the lack of support from society our population would drop drastically. Our children are the future without them we would be at a lost. Not to mention women have become the primary breadwinners these days, “Forty percent of all households in the U.S. with children under the age of 18 have mothers who are the sole or primary source of income for the family, according to the Pew Research Center.”. These statistics are emphasizing the importance of support from businesses

“77% of Anti-Abortion Leaders are men, 100% of them will never be pregnant” (Barbara Kruger). Whether to continue or end a pregnancy, has been a long debated topic, extending long after the Roe v. Wade case that went all the way to the Supreme court (ProCon). Abortion is defined as the intentional termination of a pregnancy, frequently performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy (Oxford University Press). Each year, over one million women in America chose to have an abortion (WebMD). What would happen if that right to choose was taken away?

Lora Schwacke, a Childbirth Educator in the Bradley Method, meets many women who deal with painful breast engorgement. According to Lora Schwacke, one of the best ways to combat breast engorgement is to breastfeed more often. Even if your baby cannot drink the milk then, expelling extra milk will keep the breasts soft and pain-free.
I thought I would share with you, why choosing not to breastfeed was the best thing I did for myself.
Advances in medicine have allowed us to save babies lives before they are even born.
Imagine returning back to work after giving birth to your child and realizing that you cannot reserve time to breastfeed your child in a private place. What do you do? Do you focus on your career and hope for the best in terms of your child's health? Do you make time to breastfeed your child in a secluded place and risk being terminated from your job? Mothers, of course, will certainly choose the latter. Despite a good recovery from the great recession, many people are still having trouble meeting the basic needs of providing for their families. Nursing mothers who would prefer to care for their child are now finding themselves in a difficult position. Nevada Assemblywoman Ellen Spiegel understands these concerns and has taken upon herself
Breastfeeding is healthiest for babies, and yet the United States has very low rates of breastfeeding. I personally think that the main reasons are the fact that a major portion of the population believe that nursing your child in public is taboo. A mother and child are not always in

Breastfeeding has been around forever now, but it’s now not being accepted to be done in public. Women will hear comments like,” could you please cover up,” or ,“ do you really have to do that infront of me?” Women should not have to be judged for something that is natural and healthy. Now, women are starting to fight back towards these comments and won’t stand for what people have to say about them feeding their child. Women should not have to suffer through the harassment of people saying how it’s inappropriate because it is healthy, natural, and legal.
Worldwide, 42 million abortions occur every year, 20 million of which happen on unsafe terms (Haddad and Nour 122). As of late, abortion incidence has begun to decrease due to the creation and distribution of contraceptive medications, as this resulted in fewer unintended pregnancies. However, the overall number of unsafe abortions has remained the same, making the proportion of unsafe to safe terminations greater as time goes on (Sedgh et al. 629). This trend is especially evident in the United States, and does not appear to be ending soon; the epidemic of unsafe abortion in America will only continue to increase under current conditions. In this essay, I will use research conducted on the United States’ legislations to examine how the lack
We live in a complex, unpredictable world, filled with an array of family styles and personalities. Whether or not we recognize it, the family in which one is raised or currently resides plays a pivotal role in their development and opportunities. While we should not blame our circumstance on where we came from, it is crucial that we understand how our childhood influences why we are the way we are. One phenomenon that affects several families, particularly ones with low-income, is parentification. Parentification, also known as the role-reversal of a parent and a child, is not inherently harmful for a child, but it is important to look at the situation objectively and consider the risk-factors.
