BIRTH CONTROL

 

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 religious groups–differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider immoral and unacceptable. The debate among society about birth control is never ended until now.

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 grounds. Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal love and the procreation of children. 

In conclusion, birth control is a choice among parents whether they want to limit their children, limit the space between children, or to have no children at all. There must be some reasons behind their choice to control the birth economy, social, or may be health. I do agree that having children is the purpose of marriage. However, to prevent population bomb, we need to take an action and birth control is the best answer.
