A) Sierra Club programs

The National Family Planning Program: Title X is to give all women family plannign even when they can not afford it.

Equity in Prescription Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage Act (EPICC) makes contrceptives affordable and effective

Abstinence is the only sure way to prevent a pregnancy, which reduces population increase. They mention, below the Abstinence Only, that 'comprehensive sexual education programs delay sexual activity and increase the likelihood of using contraceptives when individuals become sexually active.'

USAID, in 2005, spent $484 million in international family planning programs. They stabilize population growth and reduce abortions by preventing unwanted pregnancies.

The United Nations Population Fund gives many women access to voluntary family planning, economic opportunities, and education. These things are important in keeping the population down.

They all seem to be effective in reducing the population increase. Especially having them all together. I assume that if these programs are kept up then they should become effective. I think that education is the most effective way to prevent pregnancies. Contrceptives are good, but sometimes they seeem to incoursage promiscuity.
