Summary:
The first manifesto on contraception and on the universal right to abortion, written and published in 1975. It presents the first claims of those years: the right to information on contraception methods and access to contraceptives; assisted abortion in hospital facilities; right to abortion by request of women – at that time, abortion was only possible when there were therapeutical reasons; abolition of the fascist law on abortion.
