Description

Margaret Sanger published this short note beneath a letter to the editor written by "M. B. H." asking "Don't you think you over emphasize the woman's side of the problem to the exclusion of the man's?. . . . Shouldn't the instruction in methods of Birth control be given to men and more stress laid upon appealing to them to take this responsibility?"

Birth Control A Parents' Problem or Woman's?

We publish this letter from "M. B. H." because it raises a question bearing immediately upon the direction which the Birth Control movement is to take.

We are well aware that there is a wide difference of opinion upon this matter. My own convictions are very decided. I would like before expressing them, however, to give an opportunity to others who may have something to say on the subject.

We will, therefore, devote a page of the next issue of The Birth Control Review to this discussion. Please make your letters as short as possible, so that everyone may have a hearing. In the issue following the publication of the letters, I hope to state my own views.
