abstract: This research project's main objective is to analyze the contradictions encountered between official and practical discourses referent to family planning in public health policies in João Pessoa, PB, Brasil, using as its reference, PAISM (Program for Assistance in Women's Health). The policy was analyzed according to its official intentions and its practical use through interviews with people linked to PAISM. It was concluded that, this program is being developed under a utilitarian ideal, negating the individual citizen's right to regulate one's own fertility.
