The book provides a critical analysis of the eugenics movement  and the push for contraceptive practices during that era, arguing against them based on traditional ethical principles. It was published during a time when eugenic sterilization laws were being passed in numerous US states (36 states between 1907 and 1931). It was published with the approval of the Censor Librorum and the Archbishop of New York. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobilis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47506641256640,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8273\/0176\/files\/1296_1.jpg?v=1771811006","url":"https:\/\/www.mobilisbooks.com\/products\/bruehl-birth-control-and-eugenics-1928","provider":"Mobilis Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
