Introduction Birth control contraceptives are medications mainly used to prevent pregnancy. It is particularly important for young individuals that are not mature to have children yet. Teens should be considered responsible for the decisions they make concerning the use of contraceptives or for choices on the use of any appropriate method of birth control. This essay will examine reasons that prove that representatives of minorities and teens should have access to contraception, while parents’ consent for their use should not be needed. The Rationale for Enabling Teens and Representatives of Minorities Access Contraception Without Parental Consent It can be argued that teens do not need parental approval to use contraceptives. Thus, Zuniga et al. have outlined how the use of contraceptives by teens and minors is critical: Allowing pharmacists to prescribe contraception could remove some of the obstacles young people face in accessing hormonal birth control. Through pharmacist prescribing services, youth can obtain hormonal contraceptives without visiting a clinic or the presence of a parent, in locations that are accessible in most neighborhoods, and during convenient times when clinical appointments are generally not available such as evenings and weekends. (515) This claim shows that it is still difficult for some individuals to take the precautions needed to prevent pregnancy. Moreover, Zuniga et al. add that “concerns about privacy may limit the variety of contraceptive methods used by young people” (516). It is predictable that teens will use birth control if they are enabled, as they are willing to prevent unwanted pregnancy (Zuniga et al., 517). However, the opportunity is still limited, and thus, more and more individuals are at risk. On the other side, it may be considered surprising that the accessibility of contraceptives is still not a law. It is known that every child belonging to minorities at one particular time becomes sexually active and finds it challenging to involve their parents on such issues (Myers and Ladd). Therefore, when they are allowed to use the contraceptive, they will be refraining from unplanned pregnancies. Joyce et al. claim that “approximately 60% of minors say their parents know about their pregnancy and desire to have an abortion” (330). At the same time, the prohibition of access to birth control without the involvement of parents has the opposite effect (Myers). There is rationale to allow both teens and minors to use the contraceptive without their parents’ consent is very genuine and vividly supported by that substantial clarification. Another substantial reason for allowing minors to take the contraceptive without parental consent is that most of them consider it a method of reducing the cases of abortion. The termination of pregnancy constitutes a significant problem in many nations around the world, and acceptance by the minor to take the birth pills, which are hormonal medications, significantly reduces the number of such cases (Myers and Ladd). However, minorities and teens need adequate knowledge on how to use them. Most of them are likely to refer to killing their unborn children, which increases the teens’ cases of succumbing to death during the abortion process and leads to the deterioration of their health. Therefore, the rise in awareness is a more useful intervention than the prohibition of t
