主要从两个方面论述,首先是女性健康方面,另一个是经济资源方面。
首先人流手术会对女性身心造成很大伤害,除了手术失败、直接身体伤害等风险,很多慢性病都是因多次人流引起;另外人流对女性造成了极大压力,例如造成焦虑、性冷淡、心理障碍等。
经济方面的影响主要是现在诸多环境问题都是因为过度消费,虽然消费习惯有一定关联但同人口激增不无关系,毕竟地球资源有限,人们的需求超过地球自身再生能力,不可持续。

Why do we need Birth Control? Because the practice is both a health and an economic necessity.

1. HEALTH

Women suffering from tuberculosis, heart disease, kidney disease and other ailments are known to die as the results of pregnancy. There were over 20,000 mothers who died last year besides the large number of mothers who are “always ailing, never failing.” Many of these mothers died needlessly from diseases such as those mentioned, and from abortions, and would have been alive today had contraceptive instruction been given them in time. The number of deaths due to abortions each year are a blot on our civilization and a disgrace to any country. I refer you to Dr. F. J. Taussig’s illuminating treatise on this subject, “Abortion in Relation to Fetal and Maternal Welfare.” This article was prepared by the Committee on Prenatal and Maternal Care for the
White House Conference. Dr. Taussig makes the following statements in his summary:
“The increase in the number of abortions is noticed primarily among married women who have three or more children.” and “The maternal death loss from abortion in the United States has been estimated as 15,000 annually. Deaths from puerperal sepsis following abortions are relatively seven times as frequent as those from puerperal sepsis after childbirth.”

While the practice of birth control is a humane expedient for maternal health, it is even more urgent as a means of curtailing the infant death rate. We know that this question of infant mortality has three very vital factors: the first factor is the father’s wage. As it goes up, a larger number in the family
survive, and if it goes down, a larger number of the children die. Second is the spacing of the number of children in a family. If children are born with three or four years between each birth, their chances are better because the mother has had an opportunity to recuperate and rebuild her health. The family income has been stretched out over the intervening period of years to meet the coming infant’s needs. Statistics from our Children’s Bureau clearly show that the second child has a better chance to live than the 5th and the 5th a better chance than the 12th certainly. Sixty per cent of all the 12th children born in this world are doomed to die before they reach their first birthday. Thus, about 6 out of every 10 children who are 12th in the family are doomed to death before they breathe their first breath. How much better to have a declining birth rate with a greater decline in the death rate–-fewer children born but more children to live to grow up decently and develop their God-given powers. What a waste of mother power and child life now goes on which might be put into the constructive forces of this world.

A government which allows men and women to become parents whose records show insanity, feeble-mindedness, epilepsy, syphilis, pauperism, idiocy and various other transmissible defects, cannot be said to consider the welfare or happiness of the country or of the next generation. Billions are now spent on charities, both public and private, in the U.S.A. The normal and intelligent citizens are being taxed and drained and bled to keep alive an increasing horde of human beings who never should have been born into a civilized society.

Birth Control should be practiced in early marriages, especially when the young people are in the adolescent period. Parenthood should be deferred until the girl is at least 23 and the boy at least 25 and they have had a chance to gain their own full development.

2. ECONOMIC NECESSITY

The father’s economic responsibilities should be given full consideration in planning a family and birth control comes as a blessing to help young fathers get on their feet financially, and keep their earning power ahead of the needs of a growing family.

Birth Control should be practiced for a year or two years after marriage as a means of adjustment. Greater stress should be placed on the importance of giving marriage a chance to develop and grow into the ideal relation many of us believe possible. The young romantic bride who returns from her honeymoon in a pregnant condition never has a chance to develop the woman in her, and both are deprived of the opportunity to cement the love bond, to play, grow and expand together in mutual affection and love. Premature parenthood has made them skip over a period of development at a time and in circumstances when adjustment is essential. Two years to play, grow, develop together, will make for more permanent marriages, happier homes and larger families.

There are other questions–-WHO? WHERE? and HOW?--which could be answered, and are given in full in the literature available on the subject.

Birth Control is not a panacea for all the social and economic ills in the world but at least it is the most important immediate help which can be applied as a solution to the present problems of millions of men and women here and now. Those who are practicing birth control because they are fully conscious of
the moral responsibility of bringing a child into the world are units in the building and reconstruction of the new world. They are laying the foundation for the unfolding of a vast experiment in race building never before known in the history of mankind.
