RJA #14a Annotated Bibliography Part 2

Caradmone, Deborah. "The Shocking Story...Marla and her baby died tragic deaths!". Greenwood, IN:ProLife.com.2005.Web. 14 Oct. 2009.

This article is a very powerful resource about a mother who tells her story about her daughter Marla. Her eighteen year old daughter died from a botched abortion that killed her, and her unborn baby. She tells her heartfelt story about her daughter. I think her story helped me for my paper, because I wrote a part about abortions and what happened in the past and young girls dying from illegal and legal abortions is still occuring. I feel that since abortions are legal their needs to be clinics that provide safer abortions.

Carter, Debbi. "Free or Low Cost?". Vancouver:Suite101.com. 2008.Web. 7 Nov. 2009.

This artilce is a great because women and young girls can reach out to each other for resources. Debbi provided information on how women can get affordable birth control. She suggest places that young girls, and women can go for low cost birth control, and gives places where you can go if your low income or places that go based on your income. She even provides you with information that some places like your local Health Department Women's Clinic in your area or your local planned parenthood that sometimes gives you birth control such as: birth control pills, condoms, foam, IUD, Depo Provera for free!

Deveaux-Thomson, Amelia. "Birth Control Access Threatened by Recession". Redwood City, CA: Care2.com2008.Web. 5 Oct. 2009.

This article talks about the fact that some places don't provide low income birth control due to the recession, and some clinics even if you are on some types of government programs like Medicaid you still have to pay out of pocket for certain birth controls. She also speaks about how the major problem is that most girls, and women don't even have basic health insurance to even get a pap smear so birth control is just one of the problems. Women especially girls struggling from poverty can't afford to get birth control, because no insurance, and due to the recession, and lack of money, and jobs.

Fatusi O. Adesegun, Hindin J. Michelle. "Adolescents Sexual and Reproductive Health in Developing Countries: An Overview of Trends and Interventions". Vol. 35, Num 2. New York, NY: Guttmacher Institute, 2009. Web. 17 Oct. 2009.

This an article that talks about youth, and the widespread trends adolescents are following in many developing countries besides the U.S. It goes on to discuss the facts that there are many people who are infected with sexually transmitted diseases like Aids, and a lot of it is due to sexual activity at a young age, and the irresponsibility's of many adolescents not being properly informed about the correct usage of contraceptives. The authors go on to say that lack of sex education is the problem, and due to studies many adolescents say that they weren't provided with the facts about contraceptive use, and instead were confused and had mixed results rather than understanding the consequences, and what to do when you become sexually active. It goes on to say that parent, and child communication is very crucial to adolescents especially when it comes to talking about personal issues like sex. This was a great article, and gave me a better understanding of ongoing sexual trends, and it is was an excellent source for my paper.

Rey-Okazawa, Margo, Kirk, Gwyn. "Women's Lives: Mulicultural Perspectives". New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Companies Inc, 2010,2007,2004,2001,1998.Print.

This book is very informing, and is very resourceful, and has many feminists' outlooks on many issues that women have to face today, and have been in past years. The authors have a great section called "Women's Bodies, Women's Health" and it goes in to detail and talks about women's reproductive health the section that I researched. It covers birth control, and the controversies girls have had to endure with birth control, and talks about the side effects. It also gives an overview of abortion the past, and the present. Great book overall I would suggest it to any woman who wants to take a women's studies class or just wants to find out about women in the world, and all the challenges women have to face in today's society.

Riley, Keisha. "Getting an Abortion ain't Easy". San Francisco, CA: NewAmericaMedia.com.2005.Web. 6 Oct. 2009.

This article is from a larger article called "Youth Sounds off on Parents and Abortion". This girl responded to the article with her own personal experience, and opinion on abortion. When she posted her article she was sixteen, but she talks about when she was fifteen years old she fell in love with a boy, and got pregnant. She talks about how she decided to have an abortion, and could'nt talk to her mother, because her father wasn't in her life. Her mother was never there for her, and she kept it from her mother, because her mom had a boyfriend that took all her time, and didn't really care about her. So I think this was a great article it ties into what I'm trying to stress to my readers that lack of parent involvement really can affect your adolescent daughters lives, and it's important to establish a trusting, and open relationship with them while their young so that there's never secrets like being pregnant or being sexually active.
