Search Results: birth control options

Many states want abortions outlawed even in the case of rape or incest, regardless of how young or old the mother is or the state of their mental/physical health. Some states, like Ohio, are attempting to make it harder to get birth control for women by banning insurance coverage for many of the pills, IUDs, and some morning after pills. Since this is now becoming a trend in the USA, do you think it would be fair to provide single pregnant women with free pre/postnatal care to ensure a healthy baby and mother?

For the purpose of the question, we will assume that 'single' means unmarried. So even if they are in a relationship, they are still considered single if they do not have a marriage license.

So, my boyfriend of almost 2 years has been coming over to my house for a really long time, probably about 5 months after we started dating? (I'm 16, he's 15 - just a few months apart if that matters). He at first started coming over once every other week but recently he's been coming over about 2-3 days a week (he's started coming to church w/ me & my mom: we pick him up Sunday mornings & his parents come get him around 4, & on Wednesdays he rides the bus home with me & we chill until about 5-6 for church & then drop him home). Every other Saturday he comes over about 1:30-6. Here's where the problem comes in.

First, to let you know, I am a great child. Not a problem child. I get good grades at school, & have around a 3.7-4.0 GPA, maintaining a 100 in class for months now. I'm a reserved person, introvert. I go absolutely nowhere (i live in a tiny town anyways, there's nowhere to go). You get the point. Anywho, whenever my boyfriend comes over, we stay in the den (we're not allowed to be in my room). We normally lay down on the couch & watch tv/Netflix/YT, sleep, talk, kiss, cuddle (cmon, we're dating), & just have a fun time. When we lay down on the couch, we typically have covers on us. My house loves to stay cold, & it is still the winter time. Long story short, my mother has something against us cuddling in the covers, & it's become more recently & frequent that she tells me this. If she's afraid that were going to have sex, she needs to relax. For one, I have no interest in doing that right now (i actually stayed after school at tutoring to both do schoolwork & look up career options). Even if I were to want that right now, I have a form of protection (birth control - shot). I got that recently & maybe that's a leading reason she's being so uptight. I'm growing up, she has to learn to give me either some space, trust, or some room to let me make a mistake.
