Abstract:
|
While the birth control social movement receives credit for legalizing contraception, this paper argues that condom manufacturers and retail druggists played key roles in policy creation and direction. Poor-quality condoms sold by black market competitors left manufacturers and druggists with the problem of how to limit contraception. Between 1933 and 1939, 16 states and approximately 200 cities overturned six decades of prohibition by allowing the sale of prophylactics and/or contraceptives in drug stores. This forgotten series of “drug store only” laws formed the backbone of pre-Pill legislative policy. Using primary sources, content analysis, and statistical tests, I find evidence supporting a hypothesis that business groups and the social movement influenced birth control policy. |
