Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that HB 1215, or the Women's Health and Human Life Protection Act, bans all abortions in the state of South Dakota, except if necessary to save the mother's life. The writer notes that sponsors and supporters of this bill believe that abortion is wrong because unborn children are the most vulnerable members of society. The writer then points out that such supporters designed this bill to challenge the Supreme Court's ruling in "Roe v. Wade", which defines the current U.S. law on abortion. The writer then points out that many Americans believe it is immoral for the government to interfere with their fellow citizens' private reproductive decisions, and that passing HB 1215 might result in extensive political conflicts. The writer therefore proposes to vote against HB 1215.
Outline:
Introduction
Key Points
Argument for Voting against HB 1215
Recommendation
From the Paper
"In fact, existing law mandates a 24-hour waiting period and counseling prior to the procedure. Girls under the age of 16 must also notify a parent. No South Dakota doctor will perform the procedure therefore the Sioux Falls Planned Parenthood Clinic is the sole clinic that agrees to do so once a week, flying in doctors from Minnesota. Consequently, only 0.2%, or approximately 800 out of a total 390,000 South Dakota women will opt for an abortion annually."
"Should HB 1215 be signed into law, abortion opponents are confident Roe v. Wade could be overturned. So far, 14 states have considered bills that would ban abortion in all or most cases, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America. This ban may set a precedent and swing the vote in those states, including nearly every state in the South and some of the states across the industrial Rust Belt, states that have already enacted most of the abortion restrictions now allowed."

Abstract
This paper describes the organizational structure and the different levels of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and then goes on to point out the weaknesses and strengths of this type of structure. Next, the paper presents recommendations for improving the agency's structure based on the analysis provided of its structural weaknesses and strengths.
From the Paper
"Another potential weakness with the structure relates to the range of departments within the structure. As noted, the National Institutes of Health has over 17,000 employees and a budget of over $27 billion. In contrast, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has 294 employees and a budget of $309 million (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, HHS: What We Do, 2003). The question this raises is whether the departments receive equal attention from the Office of the Secretary, or whether attention is related to size. If attention is related to size, it is possible to assume that the smaller divisions may be neglected. This could include not providing adequate control, supervision, or assistance."

Women?s Health in the 19th Century, 2002.

Abstract
This paper explores women's health issues in the 19th century. The writer suggests that the attitudes of men toward women were central to issues concerning women?s health. The paper looks at primitive gynecologic practices, allopathic medicine, personalities including midwife Martha Ballard and trends such as Lydia Pinkham?s Vegetable Compound. The writer concludes that studying the history of the progress in women's health is an excellent way for women to learn what they will have to do to improve their own futures.
From the Paper
"In the 19th century, any female complaint was likely to be considered a nervous disorder. The woman in ?The Yellow Wallpaper? is the victim of what contemporary men labeled ?hysteria? for which many hysterectomies were performed. Getting out from behind that male imposed wallpaper was a major effort of will for women. If she complained too much, a woman would most likely be subjected to the new hysterectomy procedure developed by Dr. Robert Battley, which had a very high mortality rate. Doctors like the husband in Gilman?s story provoked a reactionary movement that included the efforts of Dr. John Kellogg and Dr. Sylvester Graham, part of the popular health movement that flourished from 1820-1870. They encouraged loose, healthy clothing, exercise and steam baths for both sexes, advocated vegetarian, whole wheat, alcohol free diets and strongly rejected masturbation as sinful, lawless and unhealthy."

Women's Health, 2005.
An analysis of women and health, based on six newspaper articles.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 8 sources, AU$ 85.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses six different newspaper articles that look at the issue of women and health. The articles reflect a current analysis of menopause, hormones, pregnancy, fitness and birth-control, all important factors of the multi-faceted aspects of women's health. The paper individually analyzes the main aspects of each newspaper article.
From the Paper
"Women's Health: Popular Trends In the popular media, the first glimpses one is given of the issue of women's health is centered in the superficiality of health issues--beauty and weight management. Naturally, these issues are central to health (beauty to overall health and weight management to lower health risks)--but it is not for these reasons that the media tends to idealize the slim beauty. However, if one continues looking, they can discover that there is a general awareness of certain women's health issues underneath that surface, some important ones being menopause, birth control, pregnancy and fitness."

Abstract
This paper discusses the wide-spread occurrence of psychological problems evident in the homosexual sector of the population. The paper examines the level to which society will accept persons with same-gender sexual orientation and what kind of social and emotional support and aid will be of help to these individuals. The paper reviews an article on this subject written by Yoel Elizur and Michael Ziv that appeared in the journal "Family Process".
From the Paper
"The place of the homosexual person in today?s society has become an electrically charged breeding ground for misunderstanding, emotional sound bites, and political rhetoric. The appearance of increasing numbers of television shows which address homosexual issues makes it apparent that societies perspective on this subject is also up for grabs, and being competed for heavily in the public marketplace. At issue, or what appears to be at issue from this writers perspective is the level to which society will accept persons with same gender sexual orientation, and what kind of social and emotional support and aid will be of help to these individuals."

Abstract
This paper offers an analysis of Princess Diana of Wales' 1993 speech on "Women and Mental Health" using feminist criticism. In this article, the writer discusses the strong influence of the norms and practices of a patriarchal society on the psychological well being of women.
From the Paper
"Presented at a conference for mental health professionals, Princess Diana's speech 'Women and Mental Health' at the most superficial level, highlighted the existence of the psychological difficulties experienced by women. However, at a deeper level, this speech also brought up to the surface the oppressive impact of the norms and practices of patriarchal society on the psychological well-being of women. To explore this issue further, the method of feminist criticism will be employed to analyze this artifact. More specifically the research question that will ... "

Women's Health, 2007.
This paper discusses women's health issues, focusing on the issue of oral contraceptives.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the history of oral contraceptives in the United States and the world is one of many controversies. The writer points out that the fight by forward minded women and men, attempting to create a society where every child was a planned and welcomed member to a loving family, has been long and arduous and certainly is not over yet. The writer discusses that the issues surrounding oral contraceptives are varied but include perspectives of ethical/moral grounds, issues regarding the science of development, issues regarding pharmaceutical economics, issues regarding general economics such as access in underserved populations, and more common economic arguments about benefits versus cost. The writer concludes that future pharmacological research and development will continue to improve upon oral contraceptives, possibly further decreasing the unwanted side effects associated with the pill.
From the Paper
"The draw to the pill as an effective form of contraception is often related of the ability to take the pill at any time, (providing that you take it around the same time every day) but that it can be separated from the act of sex, a common complaint by barrier contraceptive method users. Proper use of "the pill" as it is often called will create a situation of failure in only 1% of cases, though clinicians and manufacturers are careful to warn that if a pill is skipped ovulation can occur and that there are other medications that if taken in conjunction with the pill make it less effective, such as antibiotics. Another benefit of the pill is that it is relatively quick to take effect once the cycle of pills has been started, though this varies between different pill forms, with combined contraceptives, (estrogen and progesterone) the most common form taking about a week to take full effect and progesterone only pills (mini pills) taking only a few days. Lastly, the relatively quick manner in which the oral contraceptives leave the body, and therefore allow fertility again is another serious draw for use."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the spring months of 2000, there was a great deal of flooding in Mozambique. The Mozambican Ministry of Health, WHO and other international bodies such as UNICEF and the Red Cross implemented strategies to control the spread of cholera and malaria in the African nation. Up to 250,000 people in Mozambique were at risk of malaria or cholera due to the flooding. As the weather warmed and the floodwaters subsided, breeding conditions for mosquitoes were at their prime. The Mozambican Ministry of Health announced that the number of malaria cases in the Matupo province increased to as many
as 80,000. Steps to control the mosquito populations were taken, including the spraying of high-risk areas."

From the Paper
"After Susan's cardiac intervention and return home, I knew that the chances of her encountering a second M. I. were fairly high, and that the subsequent treatment in the community and at our family practice would play a key role in preventing another infarction. Improving her longer-term chances of remaining healthy would depend on her remaining on drug, diet and exercise regimens with the support of her husband and family. I knew that proper adherence to drug therapy alone, even without improvement in diet or exercise, could reduce her chances of a second ACS episode by up to 77% (Douglas, 2005)."

II. Challenges to Changes
III. Either you be . . .
From the Paper
"Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), created by universities and academic medical centers, establish committees called to review experimental protocols involving humans. Traditionally, as federal regulations were regarded as performance-based guidelines, IRBs discretionally acted on a protocol-by-protocol basis. Temporary shutdown of several academic IRBs during the past few years, along with the ensuing cessation of clinical research, encouraged administrators and researchers to begin to better protect subjects enrolled in trials, in order to move forward with their research projects.

Human Resources in Health Care, 2005.
A brief examination of the importance of proper human resource management in a health care environment.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Human resources is a critical link between employees and management, as well as the health facility and patients and family members. This paper explains that its primary goal is to make certain that all involved persons feel as though they are important contributors to the team. In other words, to make the organization function as a family, including orientating rules and regulations to new members and helping to mediate problems and disputes.
From the Paper
"Rules and regulations are used as guides for creative interaction by helping to keep issues in perspective and identifying clearly the results required to achieve mutual gain as well as the objective, measurable criteria that will be used to assess accomplishment (Van Slyke 1999). Moreover, the department should characterize requisite policies, standards, resources and the timing of evaluations, or rather how managers and employees will measure the output to determine whether the creative product meets customer/patient expectations and needs (Van Slyke 1999)."

Self Protection for Women, 2001.
This paper looks at the right of women to protect themselves from date rape.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that physically fighting back and the type of physical self-confidence gained through defense sports and sports in general should come to the forefront of the debate against rape. The author feels that the question at hand is how women can both protect themselves and, if they have been raped or assaulted, find a way to cope with the tragedy which has occurred.
From the Paper
"Kickboxing, Martial Arts, and good-old-fashioned women's self-defense are offered at gyms, on college campuses, and by women's groups across the country. Yet when discussing the issues of rape and date rape, more often than not its the purple colors that represent Take Back the Night and blue light phones that are talked about. Are these the sorts of images and words that should reframe the issue of date rape?"
