Barriers to Family Planning in our Society

Abstract

A desire for specifying family size cannot be regarded as something that is new. The term family planning as such has not been used for long but the under lying concept has been there for centuries. Contraception as a means of prevention of conception has various forms, and the Book of Genesis documents a method even in early biblical times. Evidence is there that Romans, Greeks, Asians and other nations were also taking measures of one form or the other to prevent live births. But the family planning movement is of recent origin.
