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

Family planning is concerned with the quality of human relationships, with the humanization of sex relations, and

with assuming full responsibility toward the children born from a relationship. Family planning is not to be identified

with population policy, which is a broader socioeconomic policy not merely oriented toward fertility. The aim of

family planning is not to influence the number of children, but to induce parents to have children only when they are

ready for them. It is therefore in the interest of the individual and of society that family planning should not remain

subject to ancient prejudices and traditions. Medical advice and accessibility to contraceptive devices should be

easily available, and, when necessary, treatment of sterility and artificial insemination encouraged. Sterilization

should be performed on medical indication only, and abortion only when the birth of the child would be undesirable

for medical and also nonmedical reasons. Mass media should be used to promote family planning. (PubHealth.info
