(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
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. |

| Parenthood Federation, 1973. 41 p |
| The prevailing levels of family planning knowledge and practice are summarized. A worldwide survey was conducted |
| by the Evaluation Division of the IPPF in 1972-1973. It was determined that there are urban-rural differences in |
| contraceptive knowledge. In the urban areas of most countries, more than half of the population has sufficient |
| knowledge of contraception. In the rural areas there is considerably less knowledge. Over half the world's adult |
| population has access to organized programs of family planning information and education. It was estimated that in |
| 1971 about 31% of couples of fertile age were regularly practicing family planning. There are, however, worldwide |
| variations. Statistics indicate that the rate of new acceptors of contraception in public programs is increasing |
| slowly. There is widespread abortion. Nearly 1 in 3 pregnancies are deliberately termina ted, and in some areas the |
| proportion exceeds 2 in 3. Less than 1/3 of all family planning services are provided by governments. 80% of the |
| world's population lives in countries where the governments do provide such services, however. It is noted that |
| people will want to limit and space their children when they see some point in it. (PubHealth.info Document ID: |
