Recently I was looking though my grandmother's old recipe book. Most of the recipes are hand written, But one of my favorite recipes from her book was a newspaper clipping, and on the other side of the recipe, the only full article was titled "Is Birth Control wrong?" And I thought I would share with you the Article. This was a help article.

Is Birth Control Wrong?

I feel in a real muddle about birth control, to which I was very strongly oppsed a few years ago. We have four children, Three girls and a boy, all healthy, but our poition had deteriorated and I don't fee; we cam afford a bigger family. Also since the birth of my last baby, I haven't been well. My doctor said then there must be no more babies, but that was four years ago, and I though I should be stronger. Now I feel confused and wonder if birth control is right or wrong. I am a Church of England member, my husband is nonconformist, so it is not entirely a religious matter. If you can clear up my mind about this I shall be thankful. - Mrs. L. (Caterham)



Your letter intresed me very much, but I don't feel I can deal here with all the ponits you ahve raised. Many Sincere Christain folk, no matter what denomination, do take sides about this matter of birth control, but in my opinion  scientific contraception methods employed in marriage are not wrong in cases such as yours. I should like you to read a book by Dr. David R. Mace "Does Sex Really Matter " in which is a chapter on the ethics of birth control, which will help you much more than anything i can say in such a short space. It is Published by Messrs. Rich & Cowan, and you can get it though your bookseller. All the chapters are most intresting, and "Modern" Porblems are dealt with in a most lucid way.



The Modern Moral Code

I agree with you in your remarks. Experimental sex relations as a preliminary to marriage are, in my opinion, not only wrong but utterly distasteful to those of us who do not regard "sex " as "Nothing more thean a Hygienic necessity." I relise how dufficult relations with your daugther can be just now. Read the book I've advised to Mrs. L. (Caterham) Where they "Free Love Fallacy" is dealt with in a very lucid fasion. It will help you with your Arugments with her. - Worried Mother (Bournemouth)



I found this article very intresting. The date in which the newspaper was published seems to be June 18, 1948. This was when my Grandmother was in the early years of her marriage. I believe that when she had gotten this newspaper while she was in Wales with my Grandfather and My dad's elder brother.

Anyway, I thought It was intresting and decided to share it with you.
