In the United States of America, President Obama plans to make birth control free and accessible to all women. This will give women equal opportunities to control their bodies the way they want. However, a controversy has emerged: on this subject, men are speaking out, just like the Catholic Church. This topic sparked a major debate on the free use of birth control by women. This topic is important because 100 years ago, women had very few rights; Currently, women have many more rights. Yet, as we move into the future, men and women are still not equal. With the controversy of birth control becoming free through health plans, this gives women the ability to control their bodies. All three articles were provided on the course link website. However, I reread the proposed topic and chose the one that spoke to me the most. I found this to be a very relevant topic in today's society. These articles also do not cover any fathers before 2012. These articles also provide the perspectives of all three parties involved in this issue; women, men and the Catholic Church. The scientific sources I found on the University of Guelph Library website in the journal article databases. The type of discourse that will be used in this article is Foucauldian discourse analysis. Founcualdain states that freedom is an essential element of ethics, this topic discusses that women should have the freedom to access birth control (Holmes, O'Byrne, and Gastaldo, 2006). This is a power struggle between women who freely use birth control against the Catholic Church and men. The media that will be used in this discourse analysis is newspapers. This is a political debate, and whichever law is passed, newspapers will give the best options and new coverage...... middle of paper ......r side of the debate. However, I completely disagree with the information presented. Religion should be separated from the state, especially now. When religious beliefs interfere with people's rights, they should not change the state's mind. I found that the birth control should be free for all side had a stronger argument. It showed that views on unfree birth control were sexist and old-fashioned, the only point made in the New York Times article was that it went against the Catholic religion. Proponents of free birth control have backed this false claim with studies and shown changes in social opinions over the year about sexual intercourse. The second article was also aimed at men, explaining that changes in sexual relations over time and thinking that birth control should not be subsidized is archaic..
