A well overdue article

There is a Birth control movement in the United States article but no article on this topic. Birth control movement in the United States is a featured article, which highlights a fault with the Featured Article process. It is ludicrous that the bigger picture is ignored.

I threw it together in a hurry to prove a point (I know - WP:POINTy) and I don't know whether the community is going to stomp on my efforts. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 01:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest we move this page to the more general title Family Planning in United States, per the discussion at Talk:Birth control movement in the United States#Section titles. (That discussion predated the creation of this article.) It could still include material about birth control, but with the broader title it would more naturally cover related material like STDs, safe sex, sex education, desired family size (i.e. why people use birth control), etc. Zodon (talk) 05:43, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
