Opinion

This is a great article because it tells about different types of birth control and has a brief description of each. I didn't know that they were so many methods, and I like how it says talk to your doctor about it to see which method is right for you.

Good topic idea for me?

I think this is a good topic idea for me because women didn't have much freedom when it choices and when birth control was first given out to women, unexpected pregnancies went down and women had the freedom of choosing when they are ready to be a mom.

Good topic idea for you?

Depending on the person, if you are not interested in birth control or have no interest then I wouldn't bother researching this topic.
