Remember the "teach-ins" of the Vietnam War era? We need one now about contraception. Let the medical scientists on university campuses advertise openly public teach-ins about the truth and the LIES about birth control to the people so they can understand what is AT STAKE in this battle. Otherwise, they will LOSE their right to privacy under the Griswold and subsequent decisions that guarantee that right!
The American people don't know what they are at risk to LOSE in this!
