Abstract
Contraceptive techniques have been used in many cultures over hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. As the practice grew, so negative environments and legislation rose to restrict the use of contraceptives.In Canada, it was a criminal offense to advertise or offer a contraceptive product for sale until 1969.The United States had repressive legislation in place around the turn of this century, and in the United Kingdom, it was illegal at one time to distribute contraceptive material.This article provides a brief overview of the significant contributions made by a select number of individuals who challenged the Canadian legislation in a variety of ways, and helped to bring about the eventual reversal of the Criminal Code as it applied to contraception.
