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

The author used to believe that social workers had built in resistances to suggesting family planning for clients.

Today, however, this is not longer so because of the 1967 resolution on the National Association of Social Workers.

There is however, serious concern about furnishing contraceptives or family planning information to the unmarried

minor. The author contents that physicians and social workers both have to help youth in the confused area of

premarital sexual relations. The abortion problem should involve the same professions. The author argues that a)

every woman over 40 should have the right to make up her mind about being pregnant and continuing so, and b) every

girl of 17 or less should be allowed an abortion if she is pregnant out of wedlock. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
