question / pregunta:
Hi all. I have been reading more about and by Emma Goldman recently, and I have this serious desire to find out what she actually told people about birth control in her talks that landed her in jail. I haven't been able to track down that info. Looked in the birth control issue of Mother Earth, looked in Berkeley's Emma Goldman Papers, the Jewish Women's Archive, looked in Anarchy! an Anthology of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth Glassgold, Ed. Waiting for a response from the Labadie Collection at U Michigan.
I'd be really excited about either a talk transcript or one of the pamphlets that she distributed.
Thanks so much for any help!

I don't really have any idea
I don't really have any idea about emmagoldman but I know that contraceptive issue has been very controversial from the moment it came out. Some says especially religious people that it's against the will of God and against the church but let's face it, It really helps a lot. It even keep us free from a lot of diseases due to the protection it provides. It also helps a couple planned for their family especially when their not yet ready for a baby.
The only problem I know about these contraception thing is that these tuesday, a group of medical experts advised the U.S. Department of Health that all insurance plans should pay for contraception for all women.Adopting their recommendation would mean one less headache for females working hard in the recession. Personal loans wouldn’t be needed just to avoid pregnancy.
