Family Planning: Enlightening its Objective, Benefits and Usage For many people, especially those in a still developing country, Family planning has a lot of negative images because words like abortion are always attached to it and is always mistaken for population control. But family planning and population planning are not the same thing. Whereas population planning’s main objective is to reduce the fertility rate of a nation through a number of methods, family planning is concerned in private fertility decision, pro-natalistic and aims to provide the couple a choice as whether they want to reproduce or not. But, what is family planning? According to the book “Communication Strategies for

In a modern world where many people embrace the idea of liberation widespread pre-marital is not so surprising. With that, the main goal of the research is to provide information to the readers about the different methods of family planning such as traditional or behavioural method, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, sterilization and surgical procedures and barrier methods to reduce the cases of unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and mortality due to unsafe sexual …show more content…
Long-acting injectables such as the medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone enantate are injections given every three months . They are highly recommended contraceptives because of its high effectivity and reversibility. Its failure rate is 1-2% and do not increase the risk of cancer for female genital tracts such as cervical cancer. It has a lot of benefits for the user such as increasing levels of blood iron and to some extent serves as a protection against inflammatory diseases and ovarian & endometrial carcinoma. On the other hand, monthly injectable consists of both estrogen and progestogen though it has shorter effectivity and results to higher costs because injection should be done more frequently. The only known side effects is changing the menstrual bleeding patterns of a woman. Norplant implants are flexible non-biodegradable tubes filled with a hormone called levornorgestrel, a ovulation preventing hormone, which is implanted under a woman’s skin. The implant relases the hormone slowly and at a constant rate for several years (“Ethics and Human Values Family Planning”). Generally the only disadvantage of Long-acting Steroid Contraception is changing the menstrual bleeding patterns and is costs much higher than any other forms of contraception. The good thing about it is that is ensure low failure rate for preventing ovulation and it does not cause serious medical
... provides us with information to put the “panic” over population into perspective. She addresses both the benefits and side effects of family planning and that population growth can have environmental concerns. Whether offering an opinion or presenting an academic writing or investigation, each author has left the reader with a great deal to consider in regards to the relationship between population control and a growing population.
Perhaps the most discrete manner in which government intervenes in women's reproductive rights is through family planning. Several governments have spent billions of dollars annually to implement family planning programs. Family planning includes sex, contraceptive, and parenting education. Although many family planning programs are viewed as a method of education, some governments have used the programs as a means of controlling the bodies of women and their nation's population.
The question regarding whether or not public schools must offer birth control methods to teenagers remains controversial. There are those who are for birth control being provided in public school and those who are against it. This paper will describe two issues that prove that contraception should indeed be provided within public schools. The first reason is that most Americans support the idea that public schools must provide birth control methods to students. This is according to results obtained from several opinion polls. The second reason for contraceptive being given to teenagers, will help them avoid many dangerous Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) associated with having unsafe sexual practices. Studies have shown an increase with unprotected sex with teenagers can result in a wide-range of social problem, such as STDs.

However after long time, abortion remains question under discussions. There are strong arguments both for and against abortion. Therapeutic abortion that is one of the most disputable topic in modern society is evident capable of generating intense passions, that lead to a great number of other social issues. In recent decades, on a global scale there is increasing pressure for changes in abortion which could lead to a various consequences.
Sometimes, husband and wife the protection of sexual relation has failed from process condom for example using low quality materials. The causes of the family reason why they want an abortion because they are not ready to take care of a baby being born. Secondly, the health of the mother, the physical disorders of the body. The major reason that abortion should not be banned is to prevent transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) from mother to infant during pregnancy and “reduce maternal morbidity and mortality” (Rudolph Gurtovnik, 2008, p.28). It is the big problem that the government has to solve and spend a lot of budget to treat all of these people.
Abortion is defined as the premature expulsion of a fetus so that it does not live. Abortions can happen as a result of natural occurrences, but the interest of this paper is abortion that is induced. Abortion has been the topic of heated debates in many places. Nicole Miller went through an abortion at the age of 18, now 20 and is attempting to talk about the experance that it put her through. The government has had long difficult battles over the aspects of abortion. Legal cases have set benchmarks that are somewhat vulnerable. The church has had to analyze doctrines to decide whether abortion is right or wrong. There has also been violence in the way of abortion clinic bombings, assassinations, and political protest.
The most popular form of birth control is the pill. The reason for this is that it is said to be very effective against pregnancy if used correctly, it makes menstrual periods more regular and lighter, they decrease menstrual cramps and acne, makes you less likely to get ovarian and uterine cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, and anemia, and last but not least, it doesn’t interrupt love making. Those are the good things about the pill. There are also a list of negative things: the pill doesn’t protect against S...
In 2000 the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA) defined reproductive rights as "the basic rights of couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children; to have the information and means to do so; and to have the right to make decisions concerning reproduction, free of discrimination, coercion or violence."[1] Traditionally society defines reproductive rights in the context of one's being able to make decisions about his or her own reproduction; other individuals, unrelated to that person, were not considered as being involved in the decision. With the onset of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1978, reproductive processes have become more complicated. For example, in gestational surrogacy a surrogate mother, not genetically related to the embryo, is brought into the process of reproduction. This technique allows infertile couples to carry a child or children in the womb of a carrier, rather than in the womb of the biological mother.[2] As a result of this ethically controversial technology, society must modify its reproductive rights. In vitro fertilization (IVF) alone will not solve people's reproductive problems and protect everybody's rights. Society, therefore, must distinguish whose rights-the rights of biological parents or those of the surrogate mothers-should be protected.

Contraception is the deliberate prevention of pregnancy using several methods available today. Family planning is the method that refers to the making decisions about when and how many children to have, and choosing way to achieve this.
However, the wish of having multiple children, especially boys, was challenged by the strict One Child policy in 1979. The One Child policy, also known as Family Planning policy, was implemented across the country as one of fundamental national policies under the administration of Population and Family Planning Commission. Based on the purpose of lowering fertility rates to ease social pressure and improve living standard, a married couple is only allowed to have one child with some exceptions made for some ethnic minorities and rural families. The majority of citizens are classified by ethnics and occupations to fit the specific regulations of compensations and punishments to prevent them from having a second child (Li, J., & Cooney, R, S. 1993).
...e also preventative measures that can be put into place to avoid conception such as birth control and protected sex. They are simple steps that are not taken into consideration based on society’s effect on the world.
...he second way to attempt to decrease the population is through increased active family planning programs. Especially in poor countries, it is a lot harder for women just to jump into the work force, and even harder for a poor country to become industrialized. For example, in Bangladesh, one of the world's poorest countries, birth rates have decreased from seven children per family to only 5.5. This is largely because forty percent of Bangladesh's woman now take part in some form of family planning.
For a person to make a decision can be a hard thing, especially for women. A mother's desire to have children cannot be pressured or forced upon, women have to take the time to think about what they want in their life. Motherhood is something that most women think about, even when they were a child. As time goes by, we learn to rethink and reflect on what we want in our life. Parenthood can be one of the toughest decision to make because it takes a lot of effort and dedication. Parenthood impacts more on the women than men because they don't have to deal with the burden. There will be obstacles and barriers that will impact women when becoming a mother.
