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.

TITLE

National Family Planning v. Sullivan [3 November 1992]

AUTHORS

United States. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit

SOURCE

FEDERAL REPORTER. 2D SERIES. 1992;979:227-42.

ABSTRACT

The plaintiffs challenged the validity of directives under which the US Department of Health and Human Services

interpreted Regulations issued in 1988 as permitting physicians working within Title X programs to provide

counseling on abortion in the context of a physician-patient relationship. Previously, the regulations had been

interpreted to prohibit abortion counseling or referral of any kind within a Title X program. The plaintiffs claimed that

the directives had been issued improperly. The Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, accepted this claim

and enjoined implementation of the directives. It held that the directives were "legislative" rather than "interpretive" in

nature and, thus, could not be issued before notice and an opportunity to comment had been given to the public. It

pointed to the fact that the new directives construed the Regulations in a manner that substantially changed the

effect of the Regulations and that, prior to the change, the Department of Health and Human Services had defended

the previous interpretation of the Regulations all the way to the Supreme Court, which had upheld their validity.
