Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Today, contraception and abortion are considered by Muslim politicians and [the] faithful to be sins. To some, it is

unacceptable to allow mothers to die by clandestine abortions or entire populations to perish by malnutrition. To

others, it is objectionable to prevent children from being born and to think that overpopulation is a danger to the

planet. Each of these bioethical logics appeals to homogeneous collections of references that are incompatible with

each other. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 3021-06)
