Birth Control Bill S. 2290.
[Birth Control]. S. 2290. In the Senate of the United States. January 28 (Calendar day, January 30), 1924.
Two folio leaves, folded; torn at crease; slightly darkened; else fine.
The Senate edition of a bill introduced to the 68th Congress in its first session. Announced by “Mr. Cummins,” the bill rescinded the ban on the circulation of contraceptive literature and materials, which previously had carried criminal repercussions for participation in such activities. In part:
A BILL to remove the prohibition of the circulation of contraceptive knowledge and means by amending sections 102, 211, 245, and 312 of the Criminal Code; and section 305, paragraphs (a) and (b), of the Tariff Act of 1922; and to safeguard the circulation of proper contraceptive knowledge and means by the enactment of a new section for the Criminal Code.
A vital step in securing birth control rights. Congressional printings of proposed bills are done in modest numbers for limited circulation.
