From abortion protests to fights about appropriate sex education in schools to debates over the "morning-after" pill, questions surrounding reproductive rights are ever present in today's world. With views that vary widely on all topics, observers are often left with conflicting messages about how society should approach these issues. Should pharmacists have the right to deny women access to birth control because it violates their consciences and personal beliefs? Should schools be allowed to teach about masturbation and appropriate condom usage? What are parents' roles in regulating their children's sexual activities? Reproductive Rights examines these timely issues, and many more, from multiple points of view.

The United States was founded as, and has remained, a land of immigrants, but immigration has always proved a complex issue for the country.
