The following text is for questions 13 to 15

Most people agree that some form of family

limitation or spacing is desirable for the good of the
family and society. But individuals and groups–
especially religious groups–differ sharply on the
methods of birth control that they consider moral
and acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various

reasons. They may want to limit or space their
children or to have no children at all. Young couples
often postpone having children so that both partners
can work full-time. Other couples space their children
so they can give each child as much attention as
possible. Some women are advised by their doctors
to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many
countries with rapidly growing populations, the
government encourages couples to limit the size of
their families.

Even though birth control has gained in acceptance,

opposition to the practice is continuous. Some people
fear that birth control encourages sexual relations
outside marriage or that government might impose
birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth
control on moral grounds.

Some religious groups teach that artificial methods

of birth control are immoral because they separate
the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal
love and the procreation of children. Although they
