A significant thought lies in the way of life of the common Sierra Leonean. The radical emergency (1991-2002) didn’t lighten the issue. Most families oppose endeavors to restrict the quantity of their posterity because of “the financial worth of children in rustic regions and the high demise rates” (Lenski, 1970, p.485). Christian morals, “the orderly clarification of the ethical model and educating of Jesus applied to the all out existence of the person in the public arena and completed by the force of the Soul” (Barnette, 1961, p.3), is distorted in the issue of family planning. The morals of this deliberate constraint of human generation is a subject of discussion.

Joined estrogen and progesterone pills are the best and are taken for 21 days followed by a multi day stretch during which feminine draining happens. Post-coital contraceptives (a ‘next day contraceptive’) contain the manufactured estrogen stilboestrol.
