	Family planning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Introduced in 1960, "the Pill" has played an instrumental role in family planning for nearly fifty years, preventing countless pregnancies and helping to control the timing of others in large numbers; by some estimates, eight out of ten women in the United States use it at some point in their lives.
		Family planning is often used as a euphemism for birth control, though its connotations are somewhat different.
		Family planning thus often incorporates methods of birth control that either prevent fertilization or work after fertilization to prevent the implantation of an embryo.

	9 Family Planning
		Family planning services provide opportunities for individuals to receive medical advice and assistance in controlling if and when they get pregnant and for health providers to offer health education and related medical care.
		An estimated 6.6 million females receive services from subsidized family planning providers annually, slightly less than one-half of those considered to be in need of subsidized family planning services (those at risk of unintended pregnancy and with a family income less than 250 percent of the poverty level).
		Increased access through insurance coverage for family planning is important because in the absence of comprehensive coverage, many women may opt for whatever method may be covered by their health plan rather than the method most appropriate for their individual needs and circumstances.

	Achievements in Public Health, 1900-1999: Family Planning
		During the 20th century, the hallmark of family planning in the United States has been the ability to achieve desired birth spacing and family size (Figure 1).
		Smaller families and longer birth intervals have contributed to the better health of infants, children, and women, and have improved the social and economic role of women (2,3).
		Family size increased from 1940 until 1957 (Figure 1), when the average number of children per family peaked at 3.7 (14,15; CDC, unpublished data, 1999).
