Famous quotes containing the words birth control, birth and/or control:

“... the black girls didn’t get these pills because their black ministers were up on the pulpit saying that birth control pills were black genocide.

And if you can’t control your reproduction, you can’t control your life.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

“A small boy puts his hand on the wall, and looks down intently as he wriggles his toes. The birth of thought?”
