About

Samira Mehta discussed the history of contraception and religion in America, the subject of her recent research at the Library. Some clergy in post-World War II America framed the need for contraception in theological terms, including morally-inflected understandings of marriage and the family and Biblically-based commandments to care for the earth. Mehta's talk forefronts the role of ministers and rabbis in using their clerical authority to make contraception socially acceptable, but also in creating a moral language that would be used in support of birth control long after religious voices were the movement's strongest advocates.
