Birth Control Laws($51.00Value)

Description

From the dust At last ! A book which clears up the problem of birth control and the law. By the woman who took the birth control question to Congress. Birth control is here to stay. But are the laws here to stay also? Do they give people what they want? If not what shall be done about it? These questions are simply but thoroughly answered by the greatest national authority on the subject. The book tells the story of how Comstock gave us the laws we have, and gives a lucid analysis of all the proposi-tions thus far made for correcting Comstock's blunder. It is a human untechnical discussion of what to do and how to do it sensibly. Mere belief in birth control, or merely agitating for it will not produce common sense laws that are just and prac¬ticable. Boot-legging one's contraceptive knowledge is far from satisfactory. Mrs. Dennett is a clear thinker and goes directly to the point. She marshals history, facts and reasoning in such a way that the reader easily draws his own conclusions as to what he wants and how to get it. Many revealing stories about the birth control movement are given in passing. This is the only book of its sort. It meets a need not only for thousands of individuals but for libraries, clubs and organizations needing a reliable work of history and reference, not written from the view-point of propaganda. It is a book of fact rather than of opinion. The data are all taken from original sources.
