Appropriate counseling and lifestyle changes can reduce risk factors. There are many more conditions that can be addressed and therefore affected, also. The benefits of planning if and when to begin or enlarge one's family extend far beyond the obvious medical advantages.

Those who provide family planning services are an integral part of this process.

More than that, family planning is a medical, social, and yes-political necessity.
