Where was birth control illegal?
Condoms and other sorts of BC have been around for 5,000 years, what is she talking about?

Look up Grizwald vs Connecticut, and the Comstock Act, and Eisenstadt v. Baird.

BC was often legal for married couples only. Condoms were sometimes sold to unmarried people “for disease prevention only”. Comstock restricted the dissemination of information about contraception.
