Family Planning and Contraception Sample Clauses

Family Planning and Contraception. As a result of the General Population Law of 1974 (Ley General de Población), and of the modification of Article 4 of the Mexican Constitution, the Mexican government has been organizing campaigns in favor of family planning since the 1970s (INEGI, 2009b: 34). Family planning gives individuals and couples the opportunity to decide how many children to have, and when to have them. This can be done through the use of contraceptive methods, or conversely by the treatment of infertility (WHO, 2011a). The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses the importance of family planning in the lives of women: “A woman’s ability to space and limit her pregnancies has a direct impact on her health and well-being as well as on the outcome of each pregnancy (WHO, 2011a).” Consciously spacing and planning pregnancies can reduce health risks in general. Young women can limit early childbearing, and the related health risks for themselves and their babies. Consequently maternal and infant mortality can be reduced. Preventing adolescent pregnancies can also have a positive impact on the future perspectives of young women, as they would be able to continue their education. The reduction of unwanted pregnancies also lowers the rates of unsafe abortions. Moreover, family planning empowers people by enabling them to make their own conscious choices, and to gain control over their social and economic development (WHO, 2011a).
