The point has almost been reached when, by the removal of bar after bar in the “doctors only” type of bill, one might say that “things equal to the same thing are equal to each other,” inasmuch as the last version of the “doctors only” idea would be practically the same in effect as the Cummins-Vaile Bill, so far as the accessibility of contraceptive information is concerned. That being the case, is not the very fact that the limited bill proposition has been pared down till it would release information about as completely as a freedom bill, a most forceful reason for scrapping it now in favor of the freedom bill? If the restrictions are so riddled with exemptions as to be only the shadow and pretense of restriction, why go through the motions of keeping them? If such pretension at restriction should fool anyone into thinking they were genuinely efficacious, it would but serve to make the law an arrant hypocrisy. If they would not so fool anybody, why bother to try to put them into law? Is it not time to bear in mind Dr. Pusey’s advice to avoid framing “silly legislation,” as we have more than enough of that kind on the statute books already? Why add to the welter of laws we have, when we can better achieve what we want by merely subtracting errors from the existing laws. As “Life” observed: Thirty-eight thousand eight hundred and forty-four laws were proposed in the United States last year, of which 10,809 were actually enacted. Our national sport used to be baseball. Probably most if not all of the “doctors only” proponents would be quite willing and even glad to have this subject removed from the obscenity classification in law, if they could see a feasible way to keep the “doctors only” provision at the same time. But that would force them to propose a law that would frankly be a legal permit for class privilege. It would be too obvious to attempt with decorum. So they try to accomplish the same end by the indirect method of providing exemptions for doctors under the existing obscenity statutes. But just as a rose by another name would smell as sweet, is not a wrong by another name just as offensive?
