Andrea Tone, through the article, tries to point out the change in the mentality of human beings as they understood the need for contraceptives. Contraceptives were illegal and it was also socially unaccepted. People who were in power tried to prove that using contraceptives is a sin and should be restricted. However, this did not stop sellers from selling contraceptives illegally. Black marketing of contraceptives rose as people were ready to use them to prevent pregnancy (Tone). The fight was b between the government which wanted to ban contraceptive use and the entrepreneurs who knew that it was a rising market. However, soon people started preferring contraceptives instead of unwanted pregnancy and counting days of low and high risks did not guarantee safety.
