Women achieving childbearing desires drives contraception use

Study finds more alignment in reproductive desires and behaviors

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The increased use of contraception in many countries
is not because more women at any moment want to delay pregnancy or
have no further children. Instead, it is because contraception is
helping more women achieve their childbearing goals.



This is the overwhelming conclusion from a study of national survey
data from 59 low- and middle-income countries around the world.



Results showed that 85-90% of the change in contraception use is
attributable to meeting the prevalent demand for reproductive control,
versus only 10-15% attributable to an increase in the fraction of
women who want to avoid pregnancy.



"Contraception use is increasing because women are more successfully
carrying through on their preferences, achieving what they want. It's
not due to large increases in the proportion of women who want to
avoid pregnancy," said Mobolaji Ibitoye, lead author of the study and
postdoctoral scholar at The Ohio State University's Institute for
Population Research.

I've read this post several times, and even gone out to the eurekaalert
website to read it again. First I thought I just wasn't understanding
it. Now I think it's gibberish, non-news, and the authors are morons.

So, women use contraceptives to have control over when they get
pregnant and when they don't, and to control how many children they
have.

Step over here and claim your free "Captain Obvious" badges, you
scientific geniuses, you.

Females tend to be the care givers....and having control over how many
is/was common thinking. But only in past fifty or so years did they
have effective means.

In agriculture societies, the dick heads want more hands to work for
them. Just ask Abe Lincoln, whose father rented him out to do work.
More hands also provide an old age retirement benefit...
