The Battle for Birth Control
Exploring the Lasting Consequences of the Movement’s Early Rhetoric
The Battle for Birth Control delves into the complex rhetorical history of the American birth control movement in its formative years. This book traces the duplicity of the movement’s early rhetoric and argues that their accommodationist strategy yielded increased contraceptive access solely because of their willingness to endorse the neoliberal regime of reproductive control largely responsible for the current threats to reproductive autonomy in the twenty-first century.
