A study of contraception, containing contributions by experts in contraception, family planning and reproductive health. They examine the social, economic, political and cultural contexts in which contraceptive providers and recipients make decisions about what forms of contraception to use.Contraception is an issue of considerable concern to a great many heterosexually active people. Yet the impact of contraceptive technologies in the world today, in particular their implications for kinship, gender relations, and other aspects of social life, receives relatively little scholarly attention.This book brings a new perspective to the study of contraception, by collecting together in one volume leading experts in the fields of contraception, family planning and reproductive health. Contributors look at the social, economic, political and cultural contexts in which contraceptive providers and recipients make decisions about whether and what forms of contraception to use. User perspectives (whether those of recipients or providers of contraceptive services) are taken seriously, as are the perspectives of policy-makers and development experts.With its in-depth, case-study approach, this challenging book will appeal to practitioners and planners in the fields of family planning and reproductive health, as well as to students and academics of applied and medical anthropology, health studies, gender and development studies, or anyone interested in the social, cultural and ethical issues raised by contraceptive technologies.

This title presents the work of the "Sacred Choices Initiative" of the Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health, and Ethics.As the global population continues to grow, family planning is fast becoming one of the most critical issues facing the planet. While many organizations-most prominently the United Nations-are trying to implement policies that will help curb the population explosion, these measures are frequently blocked by those professing conservative religious beliefs.L In many of the world's religions there is a restrictive and pro-natalist view on family planning, and this is one legitimate reading of those religious traditions. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, however, this is not the only legitimate or orthodox view. Seeking to counteract the simplistic idea that all religions are completely antagonistic toward family planning, the authors-all scholar-practitioners of the religions about which they write-present alternative interpretations of religions' views about family planning. Arguing for the existence of equally valid traditions that allow contraception and abortion, they seek to escape the confines of oversimplified either/or, pro-choice/pro-life arguments. Instead, they point the way forward toward a more open discussion of family planning.LDispelling the notion that the world's religions are uniformly conservative on issues of family planning, the authors show that the parameters of orthodoxy are wider and gentler than that, and that the great religious traditions are wiser and more variegated than a simple repetition of the most conservative views would suggest.

The result of a WHO research project, this work examines abortion in the developing world and what happens when it occurs. The editors advocate the legalization of abortion as a first step, but show that true reproductive freedom depends on women's empowerment and quality health care. Of the 20 million unsafe abortions performed each year, 90 per cent occur in the developing world. Even in countries, such as China, where abortion is fully accessible in practice as well as theory, our understanding of the phenomenon is only partial. Using the results of a World Health Organization research project, this book provides information on abortion, why it happens and what happens when it does. There are sections detailing women's perspectives and also chronicling the provider's views and the effect they have on medical provision. Several contributions discuss the relationship between contraception and abortion, while a section on the rising abortion rate among adolescents addresses a newly emerging concern for the programme managers around the world. While the editors put the case for the legalization of abortion as a first step, they show that true reproductive freedom depends on women's empowerment and an acceptable quality of health care.
