[Psychological aspects of family planning].

In spite of the great impact on the public opinion produced by the diffusion of the threats on humanity derived from the so-called "demographic explosion", many factors prevail upon the acceptance or rejection of family planning. For instance, developed countries and privileged classes have been accused of promoting campaigns tending to limit the development of the destitute sections of the population, fearing to be overwhelmed by their disproportionate growth. At another level, certain male groups consider the advent of modern contraceptive procedures as a menace to the preponderance of man over woman if she is allowed sexual intercourse free from unwanted pregnancies.
