Birth control laws : $b shall we keep them, change them, or abolish them
Dennett, Mary Ware
Birth control; Birth control -- Law and legislation -- United States
“Burglary is a bad thing. Think of it, there are millions of men who
do not know that a simple flat piece of steel, called a jimmy, can
be used to open doors that are locked.... Suppose the papers tell of
how a man gets into a house by means of a jimmy ... some fellow reads
that and gets a jimmy and breaks into a house. Are you going to stop
all mention of that?... I want to stop now, any further advance as
Senator Borah has said, in this pernicious practice of regulating
the morals of the people by prescribing what the press shall say
about their morals, whether in their domestic relations, their gaming
practices, or anything else....
“You pass this act, and by virtue of its precedent and those others
of its kind that now deface the statute books of a free country,
within a few short years, with a little ingenuity, I can keep
anything out of the columns of the press except an account of a
school picnic or a pink tea. I thank you, Mr. Chairman.”
(And this paper thanks the Senator. Ed.)
