ABSTRACT

Some myths about birth control which have sprung up in Canadian family planning are discussed. Those discussed

are: 1) no birth control or family planning existed in Canada before November 1969 because it was illegal, and no

official agency engaged in the dissemination of birth control information prior to November 1969 because it was

illegal; 2) family planning is acceptable but birth control is not acceptable to governments; 3) the family planning

problem can be solved by establishing numerous public clinics, and the poverty problem will be solved or greatly

lessened if the poor have family planning services available to them; 4) mobile birth control clinics will do much to

solve the rural family planning problem; and 5) once an individual gets to a physician or nurse the service chain is

complete and the problem is solved. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3546-06)
