I beg to differ.

Family planning is exactly that, no inconsistency involved:  you can choose 
not to have children (as in MY family, and we ARE a family), you can choose 
to select when to have children and how many, or you can choose not to plan 
at all.

A linguist might be expected to be more precise, but a wingnut with an 
agenda to push (if he is one, I dont know) would intentionally resort to 
dogma and attempt to spin the issue their own way.
