On the Distribution of Contraceptives in the Population

Abstract

The modern medical community attaches great importance to contraception. The reasons for this are: 1) the desire to eliminate the wave of abortion, 2) the desire to enable women to decide the question of maternity themselves, 3) to teach contraception where eugenic and social indications prompt it, etc. At the first meeting of maternity protection workers, the following statement was made: the duty of motherhood, although still considered as a high duty, is not compulsory for women, even if this would be to the disadvantage of the state (Kaplun). Having taken this view, we must take a closer look at existing contraceptives, study them, and recommend those that are most advisable and harmless.
