Family planning is defined as that all couples and individuals
have right to have desired number of children, to decide the duration
between the births freely and responsibly, and to have knowledge,
tools and education in this regard. In other words, Family Planning
is a protective service which allows married couples to have desired
number of children according to their economical possibilities
and personal wishes, and it ensures the couples to have births at
appropriate intervals in accordance with the maternal and child
health William et al. [1], Yıldırım [2]. Population growth has been
the determinative factor in Family planning service requirements
of countries. According to the World Bank reports between 2004
and 2020, the average population growth rates of come countries
are estimated as follows; India (1.3), Ireland (1.2), Mexico (1.1),
USA (0.9), Canada (0.8), China (0.6), Norway (0.5), Netherlands and
the UK (0.3), Greece (0.1), Germany and Italy (0), Japan (-0.1). On
the other hand, the population growth rate in Turkey in the same
time interval will be higher than the world average (1.2 and 1.1).

In each minute, 380 women conceive, 190 women are faced
with an unplanned or undesired pregnancy, 100 women experience
complications related to pregnancy, 40 women experience unsafe
abortion, and 1 woman die. Among all these deaths, 1% of them
happen in developed countries and 99% of them happen in
developing countries. In developing countries, 1 woman dies
in each minute due to complications of the pregnancy. Almost
90% of these deaths can be preventable. In Turkey, there are
approximately 1,8 million pregnancies in a year. Among all, 500.000
of them are abortions, 23.000 of them are stillbirths, and 1.350.000
of them are live births. Besides, 39.000 babies die before the age
of one Altıparmak [5]. It has been reported by the World Health
Organization (WHO) that annually 12% of 500.000 women die due
to complications of abortion and 99% of these women are from
developing countries. Studies conducted particularly in developing
countries show that almost half of the abortions are performed as a
family planning method due to the undesired pregnancies and these
findings indicate the importance of the family planning services
