For Birth Control
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
(1860-1935)
For Birth Control; for mothers free
To bear strong children willingly
And rear them well; not as before
Theirs and their children's lives to pour
In needless death and misery.
Who stands against us? Those who see
Gain in unchecked fecundity --
Not better children -- only more
No Birth Control
For mothers in whose power shall be
The lifting of humanity --
A world of improving more and more --
A world at peace from shore to shore --
This is the reason and the plea
For Birth Control.
