BIRTH CONTROL

Margaret Sanger was arrested in 1916 for opening the country's first birth control clinic (in Brooklyn, NY). She also had been in violation of existing laws by publishing and distributing <em>The Woman Rebel </em>newsletter, which discussed contraception. The laws in question were called "The Comstock Laws," on the books since 1873. The first of such Comstock Laws was the 1873 federal act for the "Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use," which made it illegal to distribute materials regarding contraception (and other sex-related topics) by US mail. .Anthony Comstock was a US Postal Inspector who had been behind the push for such laws.

Sanger appealed her conviction under the Comstock Laws. In 1918, Judge Frederick Crane of the New York Court of Appeals upheld Sanger's conviction. But in his ruling, he also issued a revised interpretation of New York's state law, saying that physicians could legally prescribe contraception for general health reasons, not just for prevention of the spread of venereal disease. It was a court ruling that allowed allowed women in general at least some access to contraception, and was the beginning of the success of the birth control movement that Sanger championed.

Answer:

The late 1800’s-early 1900’s were a trying time for the nation of Russia due to many events. These harsh times began in the 1890’s with the bad living and working conditions in the country that led to many strikes and revolts. A major revolt occurred in 1905 after the creation of radical factions/political parties. The Tsar (ruler) was not able to keep control or repair the sluggish economy. In both, 1905 and 1914 Russia found itself at war, which both led to embarrassing defeats, revolution, and the overthrow of the Tsar.
