Pertanyaan

The question is based on the following text. Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable for the good of the family and society. But individuals and groups– especially religious groups–differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable. Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit or space their children or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their children so they can give each child as much attention as possible. Some women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the size of their families. Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups oppose birth control on moral grounds. Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral because they separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal love and the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they consider natural family planning acceptable. To conclude, in spite of many good reasons for couple to control birth, this way of family limitation is unacceptable for religious limitation. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

Pembahasan

Teks di atas membahas tentang pendapat yang mendukung birth control (kontrol kelahiran) dan yang menentangnya. Beberapa pasangan mendukung kontrol kelahiran karena berbagai alasan, misalnya pasangan tersebut tidak ingin anak, memberi jarak antar anak atau ada yang ingin bekerja penuh waktu. Sedangkan pendapat yang menentang kontrol kelahiran berasal dari kelompok agama yang menyatakan mengontrol kelahiran dengan cara yang tidak alami adalah perbuatan yang tidak bermoral. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tujuan penulis menuliskan teks tersebut adalah untuk menyajikan dua pandangan yang berbeda mengenai kontrol kelahiran. Jadi, pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat adalah D.
