I believe that birth control should be a basic human right, not just for males but for females as well. I think it's fantastic that birth control is being provided to women in lesser developed countries for free or at very little cost, because I believe that it is so important for women to have a say in their reproductive rights.

Because there is also a great problem with overpopulation, this could really help solve that.

The world is over populated to begin with and many women don't have access to birth control. Allowing women in poorer countries to have the choice of taking a contraceptive is a huge step.

I believe that overpopulation is a huge, huge issue in the world, not only in environmental purposes, but for humanitarian and poverty purposes as well. The human race struggles in a lot of ways just because of the fact that we are completely over populating our earth, and taking over too many resources to be able to distribute them evenly. It gives me hope to think that major distributors of contraceptives are starting to pay attention to this major problem in third world countries. Once we get the population problem under control in a lot of these countries, we will be able to solve many other problems simultaneously, in government factions and also in environmental legislation and progression. <br /><br />Leanna Molnar Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22484305.post-34387919484690852502014-11-23T03:35:19.781-05:002014-11-23T03:35:19.781-05:00I believe that is is a good idea in order to help ...I believe that is is a good idea in order to help control the birthrate all over the globe.

However, now that it has finally come, I am so happy! Many women in developing countries have probably wanted access to birth control, but due to financial or cultural reasons they were unable to do so. With this system, it's the best of both worlds, affordable and discrete. I think this can positively impact the world's population problem. <br />-Emma WeisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22484305.post-18224305590572583522014-11-21T20:24:54.711-05:002014-11-21T20:24:54.711-05:00This contraceptive is a wonderful idea.

If we can do this what else could we do at a cheap cost for these countries. This could mean great things for the environment, as we know poverty is one of the main factors in Climate Change. This could just be the inspiration and example we needed. In class we have been talking about the environmental cost of a product. One thing i would want to know would be the environmental cost of this new drug. Otherwise this is a really great idea. It also gives me hope for big corporate companies. If this pharmaceutical company is willing to give up, what i could only imagine the profits could truly be for this drug, then there might be hope for the rest of the companies. For example the big oil companies.

I specifically agree with Maria because population is such a serious issue, and if we can get a handle on the rapid growth of the population, then that gives hope to also getting a handle on other issues that are due to population. I feel as though this is a positive step forward, and very encouraging.

The fact that it is so inexpensive will make it accessible for many woman worldwide. I do not think that the self injections are a bad thing, like the author stated it is like an insulin injection. A prescribe can just easily explain how it should be done or directions would suffice. The only thing that really makes me nervous about this is how safe it is. Since it is so inexpensive is it still safe for all to take? I think that further information needs to be brought forth about the actual product.

I feel Pfizer is leading the charge in helping underdeveloped nations in simple and effective ways that will help the nation for years to come. Over population is a huge problem, although more so in affluent developed nations. It's great that we are taking strides to help women with family planning and giving them the power to make informed decisions. I think this product should be available in the US for those who don't have insurance, or whose plans don't cover contraception (for religious reasons, affiliation, etc). <br /><br />Patrice PurnellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22484305.post-4420199928696288662014-11-18T23:19:08.113-05:002014-11-18T23:19:08.113-05:00I'm a huge feminist and advocate for women'...I'm a huge feminist and advocate for women's sexual health and this product sounds amazing. I never connected women's sexual health choices to the ideas of environmental sustainability or degradation, but if I've learned one thing in this class it's that all of our choices will inevitably impact the planet. I mainly see the topic presented as a feminist one, where women throughout developing nations can access and empower themselves to use contraceptives. This is especially awesome for women in cultures that shame the use of contraceptives and do not offer safe, free, or legal abortions to women. Where overpopulation has become a major factor of environmental degradation, this article pointed out to me all the ways that degradation exists in the world - pollution, wealth disparity, government corruption, sexism- and Depo Provera is a product that fights all of it and empowers those it reaches. <br /><br /><br />Micaela ItonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22484305.post-76658574750510189842014-11-18T14:19:48.793-05:002014-11-18T14:19:48.793-05:00This is the first time I am hearing of Depo-Prover...This is the first time I am hearing of Depo-Provera, and I think it is a huge step in the right direction for our environment. I went to Catholic school for the first 12 years of my education in which they educated us that the pill and abortion is wrong, but what they don't teach us is how over population is killing our environment. We have to look at the bigger picture. Over population is at its worst in countries that our less developed. Depo-Provera makes contraceptives affordable and easier for women to access.Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, <br />the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, and the United States<br />Agency for International Development are making a huge difference by helping with profits. <br /><br />Brianna Connelly Brianna Connellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22484305.post-6204015146457417172014-11-18T13:16:41.876-05:002014-11-18T13:16:41.876-05:00This is a really amazing effort being made to comb...This is a really amazing effort being made to combat the increasing population problem. Arguably the catalyst to all other environmental issues, population has taken a significant toll on the ecological world since its massive boom following the Industrial Revolution. As it keeps increasing, we must scramble to find ways to feed, clothe, and shelter the billions of people inhabiting the Earth. Furthermore, we must find a way to work in harmony with the other billions of organisms we share this Earth and its resources with. Contraceptives in third world countries has always been a topic of discussion for population control, because many woman simply do not have access to it in these rural villages. This could help these woman to control their sexual lives and reproductive systems, also while combating a massive environmental problem. I think that it will receive some road bumps due to the religious mindsets of many of the woman in third world countries who don't believe in contraceptives, but I think it is a positive for those who chose to use it, and for the environment.

They realized that not all women in the countries mentioned in the article (plus others that weren't listed) have access to the contraceptives that they want for whatever reason- whether it be financial issues, distance, both, whatever- they saw these problems and decided to create a solution. Plus, it's easy to use, and it's convenient for the lady, since it is only taken 4 times a year. Now, more women are able to choose whether or not they would like to have a child (or another child, depending on their situation).<br /><br />-E.

Not only is this form of contraceptive effective in that it can help better manage our ever growing population but it is also empowering women. By offering women the choice of using contraceptive and family planning options the woman is in more control of her own body which is a right every single person deserves. And because it is so subtle women can enjoy the perks of contraceptives in private without suffering from external pressures for a family, husband, or even culture who are opposed to sexual prevention in general.<br /><br />By working together and considering aspects such as woman's accesses to contraceptives we are working towards better addressing the environmental crisis as a whole. <br /><br />-Elizabeth EggimannAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22484305.post-89707729458820499142014-11-16T22:13:36.293-05:002014-11-16T22:13:36.293-05:00As someone who believes that human over population...As someone who believes that human over population is the root of all evil, I can safely say this is awesome.

This contraceptive made available by Pfizer’s Global Established Pharmaceuticals can make the lives of women all over the world, specifically in developing nations much better.

This will have a great effect on the quality of life in developing nations and on overall world population.<br /><br />Haylei P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
