Excerpt
INTRODUCTION Throughout the world, family planning is acknowledged to be an issue of critical importance, yet there has been little analysis of the legislation existing in this area. The present study, initiated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, attempts to help fill this gap by reviewing and analysing family planning legislation in seven countries of the Mediterranean region: Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey. Those involved in the field of family planning have recently begun to recognize the role that law can play either in implementing family planning programmes or in impeding their development. As the International Planned Parenthood Federation pointed out: The importance of law to family planning programmes ought not to be underestimated by anyone. To borrow from the realms of journalism, law as it relates to family planning may determine who can 'do' what to whom, where, how, when and for what reasons, and hence may exert a controlling influence on family planning programmes.
