Title:In The Club-Birth Control This Century Every Child A Wanted Child
Date:19th June 1990
Summary:'EVERY CHILD WANTED A CHILD': PERSONAL TESTIMONY ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF BIRTH CONTROL ON ALL OUR LIVES. BEING ABLE TO 'PLAN' OUR FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY IS A POST-WAR PHENOMENON. IN THE 20'S MOTHERS WERE BURDENED WITH 'UNWANTED' PREGNANCIES AND MANY EITHER RESORTED TO THE 'BACK-STREETS' OR FEARED SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR HUSBANDS. THE 'FAMILY PLANNERS' KNEW THEY COULD TRANSFORM MARRIED LIFE BUT WERE NOT ALLOWED PUBLICITY BECAUSE SEX ITSELF WAS SO TABOO.
