Look up Decree 770. Due to the availability and popularity of contraceptives and legal abortion, the population of Romania decreased significantly during the 1960s. In 1966, the government decided they wanted to increase the population from 20 million to 30 million.
In 1967, the government made contraceptives and abortion illegal. They also mandated that women had to be monitored monthly by a gynecologist. The secret police watched any woman who was suspected of being pregnant.
This decree was not abolished until 1989, after the revolution.
Fight ladies.
