United States alone (Hayes et al, 2010). Atrazine is used so frequently because it is cheap and it increases crop yield. However, it has been found that atrazine in levels even as low as 2 ppb (parts per billion) can have adverse effects on the reproductive systems of many vertebrates, which includes humans (Hayes et al, 2010). According to Hayes et al’s research (2010), 10% of male African clawed frogs that were induced with 2.5 ppb of Atrazine became females. These feminized African clawed…

Ovaries are pair of small glands similar to almonds, and located in the lateral and superior parts of the uterus. They produce hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and ova, "eggs", or gametes. In fertility lifetime, every month during ovulation, a mature egg is released and travels from the ovary to the fallopian tube, where it might be fertilized before reaching the uterus. Uterus is a hollow muscular organ; it is pear-shaped in posterior and superior to the bladder. The uterus or womb is…

organization receives U.S. federal aid. In order to improve the quality of international development and global health and reproductive rights, it is important to understand the harms that this policy causes and, in contrast, how access to quality family planning improves people’s lives (Obaid, 2009, p.102).

Many women come from different backgrounds and have been through different situations, so to restrict all women from making fertility…

decision, the United States Supreme Court that established the decision of Roe v. Wade. By enacting this law, it gave thousands of women a broader range of choices when faced with a pregnancy, based on individual circumstances, protecting their reproductive rights. Today, there has been a change in the dynamics, leaving those who stand on both sides of the issue, unsatisfied with the current laws of abortion. Based on the theory established by W.D.

Throughout history, society has looked at the role of woman with a domestic and submissive perspective. Women were the property of men, and were there to pleasure him, bear his children, and relieve him of the domestic duties. Throughout time the role of women in society has evolved; however, women still struggle to have full control of their own bodies. As Adrienne Rich said (Of Women Born):"Women are controlled by lashing us to our bodies." The theme of women being lashed to their bodies has…

lower inside the sperm (14). Within the sperm functionality in the female reproductive tract environment, it appears that acidity and changes in pH are also regulated by H+ channels and pumps (4). Hydrogen ions (H+) concentration is constantly greater in the cytoplasm of the sperm cell with a pH of 0.4-1.0 while in the testes (15,17). When ejaculation occurs, the spermatozoon is present to an alkaline pH in the female reproductive tract (17) compared to that when it was stored in the epididymis…

Another core argument in the pro-choice campaign is that abortion is strongly correlated with reducing crime rates. Donohue and Levitt from “The Impact of Legalized abortion on Crime” write, We offer evidence that legalized abortion has contributed significantly to recent crime reductions. Crime began to fall roughly 18 years after abortion legalization. The 5 states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade.…
