Question
Is the use of contraceptives justified? Give reasons.
Solution
India's population is rapidly expanding, demanding the widespread use of prevention to keep all fertile couples under control. It will help to reduce the birth rate, hence limiting population expansion. Therefore, the use of contraception is justified. It is critical to note here that the choice of an excellent contraceptive method should be made in consultation with experienced specialists. The government provides these services for free at family planning centres. These facilities provide contraceptives for free or at a low cost to couples of reproductive age who want to avoid pregnancy.
