Prenatal Human Ecology

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1960
I DOUBT THAT ten years from now sessions like this will be held on the subject of "pregnancy wastage." The challenge is less that of salvaging waste than of developing a prenatal public health. There are at least three reasonable objectives of this public health of pregnancy: to reach demographic equilibrium before it is forced on future generations by
