Contraception is health promotion.
Contraception can be considered a means of health promotion because when women control the timing of their childbearing, they, together with their health care providers, can ensure that they are healthy before conception, thereby minimizing risk of complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Ensuring that women have accessible and affordable contraceptive services takes on a new urgency in the current context of rising rates of maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States.
