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

Contraceptive services of all conventional modalities are available throughout the health care system of Cuba in

1974. Sterilization is available to women in the high risk category. Abortion in the first trimester is available

throughout the country. The ratio of abortions to live births is in most respects comparable with that in the U.S. The

birthrate, the maternal mortality rate, and the perinatal mortality rates are all continuing to fall and are presently the

lowest in Latin America. Cuba does not have a problem of excess population or underemployment. The entry of

increasing numbers of women into the work force and the rise in their status reinforce the demand for family planning

services. The emphasis is on individual choice and not on limitation of population growth. (PubHealth.info
