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

Parental consent requirements and privacy right of minors: the contraceptive

controversy.

Harvard Law Review 88(5): 1001-1020. March 1975.

ABSTRACT

That the adult zone of privacy recognized by the Supreme Court during the past decade embraces access to

contraceptives is suggested. 2 further questions are examined: 1) whether the right of children to have access to

contraceptives is fundamental and 2) whether countervailing interests of parents and state should outweigh whatever

interest the child has in obtaining contraceptives. More fundamentally, 3 complex issues relative to an analysis of

minors' rights to obtain contraceptives are discussed: 1) the scope of the constitutional right of adults to obtain

contraceptives remains uncertain; 2) courts have not yet articulated the special factors that determine how existing

frameworks for analyzing the rights of adults are to be applied to minors; and 3) the question of minors' access to

contraceptive involves a particularly complex mixture of the interests of minors, parents, and the state.
