...does require obedience to its norms. Had the Pope issued it at the beginning of his pontificate, it might well have been received with acquiescence. But too much has happened since then. Decrees of the Second Vatican Council, although not explicity endorsing contraception, strongly defended the principle of responsible parenthood and the right of couples to decide for themselves the size of their families.

The political fate of the birth control issue of the projected East Cambridge Clinic (to meet the unsatisfied...
