78. More evidence for the public health value of family planning

Author

Klerman, Lorraine V. and Klerman, Jacob A.

Subjects
Birth control -- Health aspects, Family policy -- Health aspects, Public health -- Social policy, Government, Health care industry
Abstract

Family planning is not only a social and political issue, but also a health issue. Americans have a mixed attitude toward sexuality, which limits the funding and availability of family planning services, including sex education, prenatal care, birth control and abortion. Many health insurance companies do not pay for contraceptives, whether oral or implanted. Abortion is a politically hot topic, which may not be covered by health care reform plans. Many women may have to pay for family planning themselves, especially if they prefer to receive such services through local family planning clinics rather than obstetricians. Yet, most studies show that in states with higher expenditures for family planning, including education, birth control and abortion, pregnant women are more likely to get prenatal care, there are fewer low-birth-weight and premature infants, and mothers and infants are healthier. Perhaps wanted children are better cared for.
