The Agency for International Development is prohibited by law, and the National Institutes of Health are barred by policy, from funding research into any method that may be used to induce abortion or to improve abortion techniques. The Upjohn Company, once a major actor in the field of contraceptive development, has pulled out of reproductive research altogether, reportedly in part because of a boycott of its other products by antiabortion groups. Were the pill or the IUD in an early stage of research today, such opposition might well prevent them from becoming marketable or from even being developed at all. -- part contents for background part 12 ----- text ----- Family Planning Perspectives -- part contents for background part 27 ----- text ----- 04036546 -- part contents for background part 15 ----- text ----- Menu -- part contents for background part 26 ----- text ----- • WHOLE EARTH • HEALTH • SEX • Contraception -- part contents for background part 5 ----- text ----- 3 of 3 -- part contents for background part 40 ----- text ----- card id 31014 -- part contents for background part 41 ----- text ----- card id 18991 -- part contents for background part 42 ----- text ----- stack "WHOLE EARTH" stack "HEALTH" card id 48460 card id 82604 -- part contents for background part 37 ----- text ----- card id 82604 -- part contents for background part 38 ----- text ----- card id 98043 -- part contents for background part 39 ----- text ----- card id 96415
