Family Planning Practice and the Law
The author of this book suggests that there are two main reasons for the expansion of family planning in the last thirty years. The first is the greater rights consciousness of women in the western world which has led to a greater expectation of choice of whole lifestyle; and the second a recognition that sexual intercourse is something good in itself. Legislation has reflected this change and the book discusses the various kinds of family planning available and the legal situation eg. birth control and minors, the rights of partners, the rights of the mentally disabled, and the responsibilities of doctors and other professionals.
