Back to Family Planning
 
 

Family Planning gives a couple the advantage of choosing their family size and spacing their children. If a couple desires a smaller family, family planning gives them the opportunity to do so. It also increases the health of the mother and the children.

 

Nationwide Family Planning Programs are administered through the Office of Family Planning, Department of Human Services. The project is funded by the Federal Government in the amount of $265 million annually.

 

Studies have shown that Family Planning Programs across the United States have helped prevent 1.3 million unintended pregnancies annually. Contraceptive counseling and services play an important role in encouraging intended pregnancies.
