by Janet E. Smith

Cassette tape. Contraception is such an accepted fixture in our culture and medical practice that a serious challenge is indeed rare. In Contraception, Why Not, Janet Smith provokes her audience to give serious consideration to questions regarding the relationship between contraception, divorce, abortion, poverty, and other social ills. In contrast, she presents compelling evidence that couples who accept children as a gift from God, using natural family planning if needed, tend to be individuals of strong character and have happier marriages with dramatically lower divorce rates than the general population. The message in Contraception, Why Not has captivated audiences on a national and international level. Add this presentation to the list of "must hear" for married couples, those considering marriage, their counselors, and physicians. Contraception, Why Not is a rich source of ideas and guidance for any audience. Janet E. Smith is a professor of philosophy at the University of Dallas. She serves as a Consulter to the Pontifical Council for the Family and is Chairman of the board for the Millennium Evangelization Project. She authored Humanae A Generation Later and edited Why Humanae Vitae Was Right, A Reader. Dr. Smith is highly regarded as an authority on Humanae Vitae, contraception, biomedical ethics, virtue ethics, and many other subjects.
