Description

As the global population continues to grow, family planning is becoming one of the most critical issues facing the planet. While many organizations are trying to implement policies that will help curb the population explosion, these measures are frequently blocked by those professing conservative religious beliefs. These essays demonstrate that this is not the only legitimate or orthodox view. The authors here present alternative interpretations of religions’ views about family planning. They seek to move beyond oversimplified either/or, pro-choice/pro-life arguments to a more open discussion of family planning. “The great religious traditions are wiser and more variegated than a simple representation of the most conservative views would suggest.”
