制定生殖健康战略的一个主要挑战是赋予夫妇和个人自由和负责任地决定子女人数和生育间隔的权利以真实的意义。本文将生殖选择权置于法律的和历史的背景下，突出了在试图制定国际标准的执行出现的突出问题，并探讨了两个特别棘手的问题：人口优先事项和生殖选择之间的紧张关系和国际标准和当地习俗/宗教之间的紧张关系。该条呼吁保健专业人员通过他们在保健领域的直接工作和通过参与即将举行的三次国际会议的国际决策进程，积极参与生殖权利的拟订工作。
A central challenge in developing reproductive health strategies is giving real meaning to the right of couples and individuals to determine, freely and responsibly, the number and spacing of their children. This article places the right of reproductive choice in legal and historical contexts, highlights salient issues that arise in trying to formulate international standards for its enforcement, and examines two particularly thorny issues: the tension between demographic priorities and reproductive choice and the tension between international standards and local custom/religion. The article calls on health professionals to participate actively in the elaboration of reproductive rights, both through their immediate work in the health-care field and through involvement in the international policymaking process that will take place in three upcoming international conferences.
