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

It is too late to solve the problem of rapid population growth. Even if family planning were universally adopted

tomorrow, the world population would still double before zero population growth were achieved. Population control is

an emotional issue. Instead of intellectual debate between people who are already convinced of the necessity of

family planning, the money being spent on conferences, etc., should be spent on propaganda in the developing

world. Action is necessary in order to meet the dilemma implied in the choice between inadequate food and

contraception. Governmental sanctions against large families are necessary. The Catholic Church cannot be

allowed to bring pressure on society against offering abortion clinics and free contraceptives for all who want them.

The real answer to the population problem is an international increase in living standards, which is impossible to

attain. Out-of-date values are preventing action; out-of-date attitudes will prevent governments dealing with the crisis.
