The Planned Parenthood Federation created January 29 focuses on child spacing and making reproductive health information more widely available (see Sanger, 1927). Members of the Birth Control Federation of America have decided to rename the organization created in 1939 through a merger of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League and the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau (see 1955).
Japan encourages large families by rewarding mothers who have borne many children and displays slogans urging women to reproduce. The government distributes maternity memoranda booklets to promote healthy deliveries and infant care.
