How Soon Will We Have the Ideal Contraceptive?

How Soon Will We Have the Ideal Contraceptive? Abstract There has been a great deal of attention given lately, both in the medical and lay press, to pending, radical new strides in contraceptive techniques.

Since my colleagues and I at the Los Angeles Family Planning Clinics helped materially in the development of the original oral contraceptives and have been involved in studies of virtually every new birth control technique since 1950, I believe we are in a rather unique position to analyze critically where we currently stand regarding new and "promising" methods and other family planning developments. The so-called mini-pill should be considered first, since more clinical experience has been accumulated with it than any other presently "unavailable" new contraceptive.
