    Avoiding pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases whilst enjoying the subtle joys of sexual intercourse should not be under-appreciated.

    The world is overpopulated and growing at an exponential rate. Our resources can not hold out forever and we are inhabiting a finite space. (You think traffic sucks now?) Adding more people to the equation is only going to hurt. Many people (myself included) realize that they are selfish and irresponsible. Putting a child in their hands would be a huge mistake. Many people can not afford kids and many people are too young to have kids themselves. STDs are very real and do not need to be spread any further than they already have. I would have to say that contraception is very helpful to society.

    I like to refer to it as idiot reduction. Some people are so goddamn stupid and then the end up raising stupid and ignorant ass kids. The way I see is that every time birth control is used, it increases the chances of an other asshole not being born. Sorry, guess you can say that I am just a little cynical.... just a tad cynical.

    Half the people I randomly meet on the street do things that exponentially strengthens my advocacy for birth control.

    A great preventative measure. Remember, if your going to go out in the rain, be sure to wear your coat!

    Its definitely a problem when its not available, since it prevents unwanted pregnancies often because the mother (or parents in some cases), cannot afford to provide the child the care they need. This is a huge problem in third world countries, and even with many in the US and first world countries and leads to overpopulation, economic and environmental exploitation, and even conflict and war.

    this form of birth control is much better than the deadly poisonous now allowed by the FDA morning after drug , however does to some extent encourage illicit sex

    I think that when it works, Birth Control is VERY helpful to society. But be advised, it is not one hundred percent effective. I lived with a woman for seven years, we had two precious little boys together. Both were conceived while she was on the pill. I am very glad that it was not effective those two times, as my guys mean the world to me. But remember that having a kid changes everything, unprotected sex is just stupid this day and Age. But even protected sex is not bullet proof. Be careful out there.

    South America is kept in poverty largely because of unrestrained birth rates. It's a bad idea to have children you cannot afford and cannot take care of properly. Biology and finances often don't mesh.

    I am a strong supporter of birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies and std's. Although, I strongly believe in abstinence as the only 110% effective birth control, but since that isn't realistic for most people, I do think that everyone should use protection, unless they are married and/or want to get pregnant or are with a committed partner who is regularly tested for std's!

    are you kidding, it's not used enough---helpful- if people used it MORE, especially when they can't afford to have more kids, then they already can't afford, then that would save us alot of money we use on assistance programs...I know some people need this help, and that is fine, but once you do, you should not be having more kids--and if you do, it should be taken away from you...we should not support neglecting to help themselves, by helping them every time they eff up!

    Definitely helps reduced the risk of unwanted pregnancy, and helps reduce the risk of abortion choices. It also helps fight disease, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, and more. It also helps prevent people who shouldn't reproduce do to genetic disorders.

    It's only   helpful when stupid people remember to use it.  Abortion, however, should not be a method of birth control, but it sure would be nice if people knew who they were having sex with, who the baby daddy was, without having to go to Maury Povich 100 times.

    should everyone you know have a child they didn't intend on having? should everyone you know be a parent? If you can't abstain - then use some sense.

    This helps on several levels...1st it slows down unwanted pregnancies and 2nd it curbs the population explosion.

    Contrary to the moralistic puritanism of some below, contraception is valuable to society.  There are a few basics that we as an animal species must have, because they are necessary to survival and thus became genetic as we came into existence, even before we evolved into humans: water, food, and sex.  When deprived of them, we are compelled to obey our instincts to get them.  Getting them is rewarded by pleasurable, albeit temporary, satiation; not having them will ultimately result in extinction.  They are strong urges, and it is wrong-headed to try to deny them. Before the advent of contraception, society, mostly through religion, encouraged sex to take place only in the context of marriage, for a number of reasons, including having a male provider/hunter/farmer to provide food for babies so they could survive.  After contraception became available, the need for the marital context for sex ceased to exist.  People can now seek to satisfy the instinctual, pleasurable need for sex pu...

    We have been created with a natural birth control method. Anything else is chemical manipulation of the human body and is damaging to the overall health of the person, both physical and mental. It is an enormous price to pay for the lack of self control.

    It's helpful and society could use all of the help that it can get in this area.  And you can tell the Pope I said so.

    I don't know that I'd describe it as either "helpful" or "hurtful" but rather "useful."  The folks opposed to birth control or sex education seem unwilling or unable to admit that a lot of people have sex for fun, and more to the point have been doing so for centuries.  That kind of behaviour isn't caused by drugs or MTV or television commercials, its caused by hard-wired human behaviour.What that used to result in (and still does in many parts of the world) was a lot of unwanted pregnancies, with babies abandoned or killed, back street abortions, and women cast into shame and degradation.  Personally, I think I'll take birth control over those options.

    Have you seen what age people start having sex now? Do you WANT 10 year olds having babies? And how about that crackwhore on the corner, screwing someone for drugs? Should she have a drug addicted baby? Not to mention the diseases that would spread if there weren't condoms. I don't even want to think about how quickly the entire world would crumble without it.
