13: PRINTED EXCERPT FROM SPEECH: AMBER
"To my mind, there is no controversy
about Birth Control, except in so far
as how and by whom it should be
exercised. When a poor woman appears
before me with her sickly, underfed,
unwashed brood of nine children and
says she does not want to take back
her drunken husband because it will
mean another child added to her burden
in a few months, my heart and soul cry
aloud for a law that will permit a
doctor to tell her openly what he has
told the rich woman is secret."

Stelk, Chicago, February 8, 1917.)
