Responsible Parenthood: A Philosophical Study of Birth Regulation

When a person sets out to do a major project, he begins with the confidence that he will see the task completed. Most often, the author does not appreciate the effort the work will require when he takes his pen up. Such was the case with this author. A little over a year ago, the first page of the study was begun. There was little idea of the many hours of study and thought, which were yet to be encountered. Despite this work, the problem of sexual morality in marriage was a pressing one that urged us on every day. Many people were living in a state of doubt and depression because there was such a variety of opinion about the morality of birth control. Almost daily, another author wrote another article or another publishing house placed another title on the bookshelf. Each of these works considered marriage, sex, or the population explosion. Some of these works offered solutions to the problem; others merely explored the difficulties without making any recommendations.
