I have split this off from Contraception, which is now Contraception (medical methods). This is an enormous topic by itself, and is not a health science article. Certainly it should be linked to any and all health science articles on contraception, but it needs its own workgroup. Nancy Sculerati 14:33, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
