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

Aspects of family planning, birth control, and population economics in Basel, Switzerland, are discussed. Family

planning in industrial countries is frequently motivated by family economic circumstances, particularly by the

phenomenon of the working wife. In Basel, a counseling service of the Universitats-Frauenklinik exists to help

working mothers seeking abortions with medicosocial counseling. Although Swiss law recognizes only medical

indications for abortion, social, psychiatric, eugenic, and ethical indications are regularly recognized in practice. A

follow-up survey of clients of the counseling service shows that most of those refused abortions completed their

pregnancies, and a few who had abortions entertained doubts about the decision. In the recent past an increase in

the under-18 and over-40 age groups has been noted; this probably corresponds to social changes. (PubHealth.info
