Global reproduction control continues to this day. Never forget what went before. Call it out, Resist, Repeal, Defend bodily choice, Support reproductive rights. Read, Research your histories and share it. They didn’t believe The Handmaid’s Tale but that was based on fact and there was worse still
Funnily enough this is in today's news in NZ. It's from an earlier period but part of the same terrible mindset.
