Birth Control
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

There are laws in most states prohibit
ing the giving Of information which will
enable parents TO limit the size of their
family. These laws are due TO the opin-
ion in the minds of the legislators and
Of the communities that elect them that
any knowledge of how to prevent con-
ception is dangerous and will lead TO lax
ness of morals.
| There is a very active campaign now
going on TO change these laws. The ad-
vocates of change argue that ignorance
upon this matter Cd results in too large
families among people that are not able
TO support them, thus intensifying the
evils of poverty and burdening society
with paupers; (2) that diseased parents,
tuberculous and otherwise, continue to
bring unfit offspring into the world and
CD that knowledge of contraception
would prevent mothers from breaking
down in health from the too frequent
bearing children.
The best part of the medical profess
sion seems to be enlisted among the
champions of birth control. DR.. S. A.
knopf of the New York POSTGRADUATE
Medical School gave in the New York
Medical Journal of November. 1916 n
clear statement of a physicians reasons
for this. He cites the case of Holland.
where the medical and legal professions
openly approve and help to extend the
artificial restriction of the birth rate. and
states that the health Of the people
there has improved faster than VI any
other country in the world; also the
Dutch people are increasing more rapidly
than the people of any other race. In
Australia and New Zealand there is free
circulation of information of the kind in
question, and the soldiers they have
furnished in the war Of Europe are
physically equal if not superior TO those
from England. where birth control is
frowned upon by the legal and ecclesi-
astical authorities.
The Medical Times says Of France,
which we were fond Of calling decadent:
France today is presenting her splendid
spectacle of efficiency to the world be-
cause only the fttest Of her people have
survived, and the chief factor has adj
mittedly been contraception.
DR.. jacob "the venerable Nestor Of
the medical profession" declares: Our
federal and state laws on the subject Of
prevention of conception are grievously
wrong and unjust"
As to the moral side of the question,
lii is about time 10 abandon the theory
that virtue depends upon ignorance, and
that knowledge is dangerous to ones
soul. That is a doctrine that belongs to
the Middle Ages
All knowledge is clean. II Is ignor-
nnce that is poison. To assert that the
health, virilty. or morality of the people
rests upon keeping them in ignorance Is
monstrous.
The possibilities of horror and cruelty
! that lie in this, as in all other creeds of
truth suppression, are wildly shown in
Nine Nazimova's play of "Ception
Shoals"
The women in New York who are un-
dergoing prison and persecution by their
defiance Of the laws in this matter may
seem extravagant and unbalanced in
their methods. but perhaps their way is
the only one to- awaken the public to the
retaliation of the wrong OF our present
stupid. unscientifc. and immoral laws.
