The country is burdened with enough unenforceable laws already. Not only will dealers sell contraceptives anyhow, but the one thing individuals can be counted upon to do is to spread the news as to what doctors give good advice, to repeat and copy their prescriptions, ad infin. No possible laws could enforce it. The C-V Bill is clean, clear, comprehensive and constructive. The article in the Birth Control Review contains many misleading statements, and some surprising ones.
Federal legislation is discussed as if a new idea.
There is no mention of the V.P.L or its four years of work in Congress. There is no mention of the fact that federal laws now class contraception with obscenity. This precedent affects 24 states. The Chicago Health Commissioner held up the clinic license there, on the strength of this very precedent. The C-V Bill removes this precedent.
