There are so many events both fortunate and unfortunate that have been occurring throughout the world. Policies that are being changed, new people in power, laws amended and all of these occurrences impact the way we live our lives. Many of us just take this changes and continue with our lives as if things are due to be changed, but sometimes things don't need to be changed just because rather should be changed for the betterment of the people.
Contraception. This has been a major discussion for several months. There is a new law that requires insurance companies to provide contraception with no co-pays or deductibles, as part of the Affordable Care Act. Lawmakers barred women from testifying at a Congressional hearing about the regulation, because they said it wasn't appropriate. Access to affordable birth control affects women and their families in ways that many people don't realize. Being able to control if and when women get pregnant allows women to go to school and have careers.
Laws like these should give everyone the urge to want to stand up and speak out. The only way for people to get the rights they deserve is by voicing them.
I feel that many times people just continue to sit back and take what comes when they should be determining the outcome.
Just a few things to think about.
