Long-acting and reversible contraceptives, such as Norplant and Depo-Provera, have been praised as highly effective, moderately priced, and generally safe. This book argues that the very qualities that make these contraceptives an important alternative for individual choice in family planning make them a potential tool of coercive social policy.
