Birth control and the state : $b A plea and a forecast

: "Birth Control and the State: A Plea and a Forecast" by C. P. Blacker is a scientific work from the time after World War I that examines birth control and its effects on people and communities. The text is both a request for the sharing of information about contraception through government programs and a prediction of what might happen because of these actions. Blacker looks at the different sides of the debate around birth control, paying close attention to both individual and community views. He talks about worries about population size and military strength, along with moral and health questions surrounding contraception. Arguing for a wiser way of thinking, Blacker points out that it's important to have children in a way that takes into account what society can provide. He thinks effective birth control is crucial to preventing problems caused by too many people both at home and around the world, and he pushes for the government to teach people about contraception to help them make good choices, especially those who are less wealthy, to improve society overall.
