Excerpt from The Case for Birth Control: A Supplementary Brief and Statement of Facts
The purpose of the Appellant in presenting the various statistics and medical and social facts incorporated in the supplementary brief, entitled The Case For Birth Control, is to give the Court a clear conception of the meaning of birth control. The historical stages through which this question has gone have been reviewed, its status in foreign countries outlined. Finally, the effects upon the commonwealth of the prohibition contained in the Section known as 1142 of the Penal Law have been made clear. Said Section comprises in its prohibition the very points of knowledge most necessary to human liberty, and has resulted in extreme harm to the individual, to the family and to society at large.
The idea of the social and racial value of knowledge to prevent conception is new in the United States, and therefore it has been difficult to get first-hand facts and comprehensive statistics with a local bearing. Consequently, the Appellant has been obliged to lay emphasis upon data from foreign countries where the subject has been exhaustively studied, both theoretically and practically. However, the American case for birth control, as presented in this compilation, is the most complete possible in view of the records available.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history and practice of birth control from the turn of the twentieth century. The author, a trained nurse, argues for access to birth control information and services, while refuting arguments against it including fears that the practice would lead to immorality. The book pushes for social change, emphasizing the importance of women in determining the timing and number of their pregnancies in order to reduce family size, and to allow women to pursue education and careers. The author argues that birth control access is especially important for working-class women, who often have limited access to healthcare and education, and whose large families can lead to poverty and ill health. The book concludes that the practice of birth control is a moral and necessary step toward improving the lives of women, children, and society as a whole.
