Intended as a reference tool for college students, this book
examines the origins of and controversies associated with birth
control in the United States. Issues regarding access to, education
about, and practice of birth control have played a pivotal role in
religious, social, and political conflicts throughout the 19th and
20th centuries. In the 21st century, controversies surrounding
birth control remain at the forefront of current political debates
over topics as varied as women's rights, social welfare
initiatives, federal healthcare funding, consumer protection and
physician liability, and informed consent. Birth Control provides a
historical background of premodern practices, describes birth
control in the 19th-20th centuries, and discusses all currently
available types of contraceptive systems, including both artificial
and natural methods. The treatment of contemporary public debates
on birth control addresses questions posed on practical, ethical,
religious, and moral grounds, presented respectfully and in a
balanced fashion. Contains 20 primary document excerpts divided
into 8 thematic categories, including early birth-control manuals,
essays by Margaret Sanger, papal encyclicals, federal statutes,
Supreme Court cases, and executive orders from 4 presidents on the
subject of birth control Provides a bibliography of sources for
additional research Includes a glossary and index for quick access
to information about specific topics and terms
