Family Planning, even Eisenhower, JFK’s Republican predecessor, eventually came around, admitting in the mid-1960s: “Once as President, I thought and said that birth control was not the business of our federal government. The facts changed my mind. Governments must act. Failure would limit the expectations of future generations to abject poverty and suffering and bring down upon us history’s condemnation.” Eisenhower was a social conservative who was uneasy about the subject at best. However, he was very strongly concerned with the issue of population control and what he saw as a surge of illegitimate children which had been conceived solely in order to obtain eligibility for welfare benefits; he considered the population explosion "one of the most critical world problems of our times." It was on that basis that he agreed in 1964, albeit reluctantly, to become co-chairman with former President Harry Truman, of the Planned Parenthood Federation.
