Quotations

“The stupidity of law is best illustrated in the fact that all those who dared speak in favor of simple birth control method were jailed and fined; yet the most violent birth control method—War, is being hailed and sanctioned by that very law.” (Mother Earth, Aug. 1917, p. 198; photo uk.pinterest.com)
