Artificial Contraceptive should be eliminated. This
             is my argument. Why you ask? Well, although my viewpoint
             sounds a little radical, I have come up with several
             Funk and Wagnall’s New Encyclopedia defines with birth
             control as any method used to prevent pregnancy from
             occurring. Methods available today range from permanent
             procedures such as surgical sterilization to temporary
             methods that must be with each act of intercourse.
             Sterilization, for example, has an effectiveness range from
             99.5-99.9%. Yet, we must keep in mind that this operation
             can be rather expensive, costing up to $2,500. In
             addition, complications like infections or blood clots may
             occur (Planned Parenthood, pg. 3). Moreover, sometimes
             people later regret not being able to have children.
             Another form of birth control is the intrauterine
             device or IUD. IUD’s are tiny metal or plastic loops or
             coils that are placed in the uterus. They have an
             effectiveness of 95-99%(Funk & Wagnall’s, pg.98). A
             physician must insert IUD’s, but they can remain there
             until it is desired to be removed for a pregnancy.
             Although they sound ideal, some women have experienced
             uterine cramps and increased menstrual flow when using an
             IUD. (Billings, pg.63) in fact, some devices increase the
             risk of pelvic infection(Funk & Wagnall’s, pg.98).
             Further, in Perry and Dawson’s book, Nightmare, they
             proclaim the dangers of IUDs. They focus, especially, on
             the Dalkon Shield IUD; an IUD described as “the safest and
             most satisfying form of contraception.” In their book,
             Perry and Dawson state that “more than 12,000 women have
             filed damage suits for complications ranging from
             debilitating pain and severe bleeding to perforated uteri,
             unplanned pregnancies, spontaneous miscarriages, and septic
             Yet, another method of birth control is the oral
