Type of Work: Indy Product: Word Doc/Embedded Class Time: 1 Period Class/1 HW EOC: Embed/Snip (Lesson 6) Due: 3 Periods
Concept: Below are some of the most recent developments related to reproductive health in our society. Your job will be to provide an analysis of these developments. As we discussed in the beginning of the unit sex ed is a values driven topic. These issues are inherently controversial themselves because although there are facts that may help you understand them; ultimately you see these facts through the prism of your own perception (values, morals, upbringing, etc.)! The sources listed are just a starting point, remember that any information may be biased and it is your job as an educated consumer to carefully analyze information for validity, reliability, and bias. Goal: Provide an analysis of the recent developments in reproductive health demonstrating an understanding of content specific information necessary to understand each issue (ie. What strains are protected against in the HPV vaccine, approved locations for the Safe Haven law). Complete each level (not just 1) working from top/down based on level attempted. ----------------Extra Credit Offered for Each Question-------------------

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant? It provides an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant because it helps for the ones forced into a sexual contact.

Mechanism of action-how it works: The drug mainly prevents pregnancy by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary, and by preventing the fertilization of an egg

Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)?

meaning the other may not even know/consent to the abandonment

3. - Children may not have record of or access to a social security number, medical history, a name, or even a birth date

What is Illinois Law exactly? Illinois offers a safe, legal option to unsafe infant abandonment. An unharmed newborn up to 30 days old may be safely relinquished to staff at hospitals, police. Or staffed fire stations, or emergency care facilities, no questions asked.

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not able to provide for a child? It kind of does a little of both for if someone isnt able to take care of the child than the law is good but if someone is able to take care of the child than this is just another way to not having to deal with the problem.

Level 5: How do state laws vary on this?
