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

Family planning services, increasingly available and demanding on health resources in the 1960s but isolated and

primarily concerned with birth control, should be further health-oriented and part of preventive reproductive health care

for poor patients. Such improved services could deal with major reproductive health problems and decrease

incidence of induced abortion, maternal mortality and perinatal death or damage. Early detection of reproductive

diseases with better preliminary screening at family planning clinics could lead to more effective preventive health

measures. Health-oriented family planning could indeed become a more effective birth control service because of

greater patient confidence. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 74-06)
