Demand for Contraception

避孕

錯綜複雜的問題

避孕需求
最後需要補充的是，避孕措施的運用不能限定在經由選定的群體或個體。事實上，有越來越多的男女現在正在訴求完全主宰自己的生殖生活，因為他們認為這是基本人權。這種權力意識將進一步意味著更有威嚴和更人道的生活。所有的夫婦會通過選擇而不是意外得到孩子，也就是當他們想要孩子的時候才要孩子，想要多少就要多少。許多知曉自己有病、虛弱或無能力做父母的人會欣然地決定根本不要孩子。其他許多人可以推遲作父母，直到自己情感成熟、事業成功或經濟有保障後再生孩子。青年人將不再因“招致不幸”或“迫不得已而結婚”。每一個孩子將是一個被期待的寶寶，並由此有較好的機會成長在一個健康的生活環境裏。

Contraception

A Complex Issue

The Demand for Contraception
In the long run, the use of contraception cannot remain restricted to selected groups or individuals. In fact, a growing number of women and men are now demanding full control of their own reproductive lives as a basic human right. The recognition of this right will mean one further step toward a more dignified and humane life. All couples will be able to have children by choice, not by chance, i. e, they will have them when they want them and as many as they want.Many people who know that they are sick, weak, or incompetent as parents will gladly decide not to have any children at all. Many others may postpone parenthood until they have matured emotionally or have achieved some success or financial security. Young people will no longer "get into trouble" or be "forced to marry." Every child will be a wanted child and thus have a better chance to grow up in a healthy environment.
