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).

ABSTRACT

Following the statement concerning oral contraceptives containing oestrogens by the Committee on Safety of Drugs

in December 1969, many women in England and Wales stopped taking oral contraceptives and it seems highly

probably that thousands of unintended pregnancies occurred. By contrast, among 1328 women attending family

planning clinics at Norwich and High Wycombe, no more than a handful of women discontinued oral contraception,

and no accidental pregnancies occurred which could be attributed to the events occuring in December 1969.(Author)
