Birth control and family planning aren't a new invention.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agowell they're newer than Television if you're talking about effective birth control and family planning. And I mean effectiveness has risen since the first invention of the pill to where you really can control and plan things pretty well.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoAnd Family Planning is as old as old as the Hills if you're talking about marriage as a technology to provide a stable household for children
- bryanrasmussen 4y agowell I mean that is not normally what one is talking about when using the phrase family planning in the modern era.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoYes and No. There is "family planning" as a euphemism for contraception and abortion, but there is also a long history of using the term in a literal sense that includes financial planning, counseling, ect. Hence, "Birth control and family planning"
- ekianjo 4y agoOh come on. That's 50 years ago, and I hope you know people who lived before then in your family.
- Rapzid 4y agoSex is still the primary reason for having a child today just as it was 50 years ago lol.
