Contraceptives Illegal

Contraceptives Illegal

Ex-Salient stuff member George Andrews, at present studying at a French university, recently learned that contraceptives are illegal in France. He writes:

"Apparently after the first World War so many Frenchmen were killed that the President of the day decreed that henceforth all contraceptives would be illegal—in the hope of rebuilding the nation. De Gaulle still believes that France needs more men so the law still stands. This certainly accounts for the large number of married students that there are here."
