new YORK, NOV. ZS.-Dr. FREDERICK
H. Robinson, famous editor of the
Medical Review of Reviews and lead
er of the fight for birth control in
the United States, announced today
that as result of the greatly dis
cussed death of the little Bollinger
baby in the German American hos
pital in Chicago a national battle to
secure the repeal of laws preventing
birth control in America is to be
started the minute congress con-
Venes in Washington, Dec. 6.
DR.. Robinson announced that a
band of reformers has already been
selected to assail the legislators when
they assemble in the capitol.
Three years ago." said Robinson
today, I'VE were treated like GRIM
inaIs when we attempted to get the
matter before congress. But the wide ]
discussion of the BoIIinger case has
made It impossible for the Iawmak-
ers to ignore the subject any longer.
"The Bollinger case has no direct |
bearing on birth control, for the
mother already had had two healthy
children. But the publicity which the |
case has received has at last swept |
away these barriers of silence which |
hitherto have kept the subject of |
childbirth from consideration by our |
great American public.
'"The federal law now provides a |
penalty of five years in prison and a
fine of $4,000 for any physician who
advises patient how to avoid child |
birth. We have been urging the re-
peal of this law, but without any sue
cess.
But now the outlook is very |
bright indeed. Reputable physicians |
have exonerated DR.. Haiselden of all |
blame for the death of the unfortu- |
nate Bollinger child and the members
of congress in view of this fact will |
be sure to give us a hearing.

teaching the people the proper LnedIlS
of birth control. l have been drawn
into this propaganda by my observa-
tons as a physician of the terrible
suffering and misery resulting from
too many children, which have wit
messed among my friends and ac-
quaintances, and, in the early years
of my practice, among my patients.
There is not a physician who has not
had many cases in his practice of
families which started life well but
which became quickly demoralized
financially and physically by children
coming in too rapid succession.
"While the first child and perhaps
the second are received with genuine
ioy, the third and fourth are met
with indifference. The succeeding
ones are considered catastrophes.
More than one physician has told
me that fathers have endeavored to
prevent them form using artificial
respiration on stillborn baby, re-
marking that the child was not worth
bothering about.
"In my opinion a working man
should not have more than two chill
dren under present conditions. EV-
cry child after the second, and par
ticuIarIy after the third, is indiVidu-
ally and raciaIIy a calamity. Besides
destroying the health of the mother,
too many children among wage earn
ers simply gIuts the market with
wage slaves.
Zone of the most beneficial effects
of the repeal of the laws preventing
the giving of information on birth
control would be the diminution of
the terrible crime of abortion. The
present vicious laws are responsible
for thousands of abortions among
unmarried woman and tens of thou
sands among married women in this
country.
THE law places family limitation
and abortion on precisely the same
