In other words, let countries become overpopulated and war is inevitable. It follows as daylight follows the sunrise. When Charles Bradlaugh and Mrs. Annie Besant were on trial in England in 1877 for publishing information concerning contraceptives, Mrs.
With this precedent established a precedent which a majority of the congressmen could hardly have understood because of the hasty passage of the act Comstock secured the enactment of state laws to the same effect. Meanwhile, the provisions regarding contraceptives had been dropped from the amended New York State law of 1872.
They then obey the higher laws of their own beings they break the obsolete statutes for themselves while enforcing them for others. This is not the situation with the poorer people of the United States, however. Millions of them know nothing of reliable contraceptives.
This is one of the great functions of contraceptives. That which is enshrouded in fear becomes morbid. That which is morbid cannot be really beautiful. A true understanding of every phase of the love life, and such an understanding alone, can reveal it in its purity in its power of upliftment. Force and fear have failed from the beginning of time. Their fruits are wrecks and wretchedness.
But it is necessary to consider more carefully the claim made to-day that contraceptives are both necessary and harmless, and that public propaganda on the subject is desirable. There are several different groups for whom relief is claimed:
Women who have a knowledge of contraceptives are not compelled to make the choice between a maternal experience and a marred love life; they are not forced to balance motherhood against social and spiritual activities. Motherhood is for them to choose, as it should be for every woman to choose.

To counteract this tendency every encouragement should be given to the intelligent and efficient classes of the community to bear healthy children.
It challenged the constitutionality of the law and thereby brought knowledge of contraceptives to hundreds of thousands of women. The first general, organized effort reached in various ways to all parts of the United States. Particular attention was paid to the mining districts of West Virginia and Montana, the mill towns of New England and the cotton districts of the Southern states.
The uses of contraceptives are explained, together with a recommendation for moderation in physical intercourse; but as will be shewn below, if such moderation is really practised, it is possible to live a natural married life such as renders unnecessary the use of artificial contraceptives with all their attendant evils and yet limit the size of the family.
