Physicians as the Main Actors in the Debate over Birth Control in Czechoslovakia 1920s–1960s.
Original language description
The chapter discusses the role of doctors in promoting contraception in Czechoslovakia from the 1920s to the 1960s. This paper suggests that in Czechoslovakia, both during the interwar period and in the first two decades following the communist takeover, the medical aspect played the decisive role in motivating people to support or oppose contraception and a considerable extent medical considerations overshadowed other aspects of the debate (feminist, malthusian). As a consequence, physicians became the main actors in the debate over birth control.
