From the Paper:

"Throughout time, decisions about fertility control have been based in societal acceptance, religious allowance and political rhetoric. The fads that come and go often rest squarely at the foot of political climates which are often driven by religious pressures as well as public opinion. The political strength that decisions about fertility control carry should not be ignored. It is a field and topic that has been studied for many years and continues to be scrutinized. At first glance it can look like a convoluted mess, but on second pass the politics of fertility control can be clearly located and defined. Authors Deborah R. McFarlane and Kenneth J. Meier examined and wrote about the process and elements in a book called The Politics of Fertility Control: Family Planning & Abortion Policies in the American States."
