Lindsey Threatens to
Open a Birth Clinic
Denver.—Judge Ben Lindsey has
I threatened to start a birth control
i clinic in Denver.
“In view of lawlessness in the city of
Denver, especially in regard to illegal
operations on expectant mothers, I
wish to announce that, if it continues,
I atn going to establish a birth control
clinic in connection with the domestic
relations.department of the juvenile
court for the proper instruction of mar
ried women in cubtraceptives, or what
is popularly known as birth control.
“All married women who do not
want children, or who cannot care for
them, if they.come, may in confidence
| cmne to this clinic for instruction.
“If anyone talks to me about violat
ing an ancient and outworn statute for
doing tlii - service for women and chil
dren, I will smile m their faces and
pay as little attention to them as they
deserve.”
Lindsey charges that two physicians
! were recently prosecuted for alleged
performance of illegal operations at a
cost of approximately $3,000.
“Enough,” the judge remarked, “to
care for a doxen live babief—and the
I pbys, ■ ins were fouud not guilty.”
