Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable for the good of the family and society. But individuals and groups-especially religions groups-differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their children, or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each child as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the size of their families.
Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral ground.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they sparate the two purpose of intercourse in marriage-conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial birht control, they consider natural family planning acceptable.
