Resumen de Fifty Years Of U.S. Family Planning: Lessons And Implications
Children born after taxpayer-funded family planning programs began 50 years ago have benefitted socially and economically. �Fifty Years of Family Planning: Lessons and Implications (PDF)� looks at the history of contraception in the U.S., spanning the period when the sales and distribution of information regarding contraception was illegal, to today, with public funds supporting family planning clinics serving over 7 million women. Lifting restrictions on contraceptive sales reduced unwanted births and increased the average weight at birth; in addition, those children lived in households with higher annual incomes, were 5 percent less likely to live in poverty, 15 percent less likely to live in households receiving public assistance, and 4 percent less likely to have a single parent.
