Summary "Birth Control and the State: A Plea and a Forecast" by C. P. Blacker is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century, specifically post-World War I. The book explores the complex and often contentious topic of birth control and its implications on society, individuals, and the nation as a whole. It serves as both a plea for the dissemination of contraceptive knowledge through government health services and a forecast discussing the potential future outcomes of these practices. In the book, Blacker analyzes the various arguments for and against birth control, highlighting both social and individual perspectives. He examines societal concerns regarding population control and military readiness, as well as ethical and health-related issues associated with contraception. Advocating for a more enlightened approach, Blacker emphasizes the importance of procreating responsibly in accordance with societal resources, suggesting that effective birth control is vital to preventing potential societal and international unrest due to overpopulation. Ultimately, he urges for government-sanctioned education on contraception to empower individuals, especially among the lower social classes, thereby enhancing societal welfare.
