CCIH Advocates for Renewed Global Attention to Family Planning Print

CCIH, chiefly through its Family Planning & Reproductive Health Working Group (FP-RH WG), has taken advantage of opportunities to spread the word that many Christians and Christian groups will welcome increased global efforts in support of family planning. The FP-RH WG has concentrated much of its effort in educating members of the US Congress and other policy makers about the results of its 2008 survey showing widespread support for family planning when it is defined as enabling individuals to achieve their desired number and spacing of children, and not including abortion. Furthermore the evidence that family planning improves maternal and child health, reduces abortions, reduces poverty, and helps achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has created even more interest among faith communities, including Christians.
