Abstract

People who wish to limit their fertility do so primarily in pursuit of family or individual aspirations to enhance their chances for personal fulfillment and to provide a good home and opportunities for their children. These aspirations are often frustrated, as high rates of unwanted pregnancy exist side by side with the desire to limit fertility. Contributing to this paradox is the fact that contraceptive measures, under conditions of actual use, often do not provide the desired protection against pregnancy (Trussell and Kost, 1987).
