Hi,
As opposed to artificial fam planning (FP), I understand it as simply planning and preparing ur family as u foresee ur future as a couple w/ or w/o children. Artificial planning often implies the use of certain reproductive health services and contraceptives, naturally accepted in more developed countries. FP involves preventing risks to women who have health problems, spacing pregnancies, helping reduce teenage pregnancies (tho not that many teens really decide to marry first but often get pregnant while still not married), also slowing down population growth.. Practicing FP is also acting responsibly coz every child that comes is real responsibility for many yrs to come, but if a couple who didn't have FP has a child does not mean they cannot and will not bring up the child in the nurture of the Lord if they are God-fearing.
