Margaret Sanger was named Humanist of the Year in 1957.

а я родился в 1956, как раз после разрешения аборта и тяжёлых размышлений за это моими родителями :)

недавно евросуд осудил Ирландию за непредоставление абортного обслуживания, решение приветствуется, но не всеми

любопытно привлечение Достоевского : "If there is no God, all things are permitted."

Banned books

My Fight for Birth Control by Margaret Sanger; banned 1931.

With a title as inflammatory as that, Sanger, an influential American birth-control activist and regular target of the board’s displeasure, may as well have stamped “Ban me!” on the cover.

The Base Guide to London by Base Shoes; banned 1998.

A small book, published by a shoe company, with sections on sex, counterfeit goods, trannies, violence, fetishism, drugs. Its introduction promises “the seedy side of the city. And its there for those who want it.” Except the Irish, it turned out

The Tailor and Antsy by Eric Cross; banned 1942.

Described by Gerard Whelan as a “luminous hymn to the real Ireland”, Cross’s compilation of stories told to him by a rural tailor, Timothy Buckley, proved too earthy for the board’s tastes. Buckley was forced, by several priests, to go on his knees and burn his copy of the book in his own fireplace.

The End of the Affair by Graham Greene; banned 1951.

Alhough this was, perhaps, the most explicitly Catholic of the novels produced by one of the church’s most famous converts, it was insufficiently chaste for the board. Yet, a year later, Greene’s novel won the American Catholic Literary Award.

The Dark by John McGahern; banned 1965.

With its relatively frank descriptions of masturbation, and use of the word “f**k”, it was perhaps inevitable McGahern’s second novel would earn a ban. McGahern was dismised from his job as a primary-school teacher. The furore that followed would, at least partly, lead to an overhaul of censorship legislation in 1967.
