We can and do change our birth control techniques. Snip in 4 ready-to-eat dried apricots, add 1 tbsp sultanas and 1 small sliced banana. The dominions achieved a new stature and independence and would snip the final strings that kept them dependent on Britain. Almost everywhere in recent years, consumption of the pill has tumbled (a British survey of clinic-users found it dropping from 70 per cent in 1975 to 44 per cent in 1997) while use of the condom has gone up, thanks to anxieties about sexually transmitted disease. Pull the mounts off the front of the car, then snip the wires to the spotlights. About 11 per cent of British men, mostly in their thirties and forties, have had a snip, compared with 12 per cent of women (aged 16 to 49) who have had the more complex and traumatic sterilisation operation.
Adjusted for population, that is twice as many as Britain's 50,000, which, curiously, has been steady since the early 1980s. In the US, it is now the second most common form of contraception (after condoms), with 500,000 operations a year.

This detail was absent from the official pamphlet, but you can read all about it at MSI's website (where the story is retold to celebrate the fact that readers of the Guardian selected Stopes as their woman of the millennium.

After a sexless first marriage, Marie Stopes came to the closing stages of her second marriage with a written agreement from her husband that she could expend her sexual energies upon a series of younger men. "Many couples find greater sexual freedom once the risk of unwanted pregnancy has been removed," the heirs of Marie Stopes whispered, and no doubt the founder herself would have approved. The operation, the pamphlet continued, should not be considered reversible (although in the hands of the right surgeon it mostly is), but it would not adversely affect my sex life or my ability, after just four weeks, to take part in violent games.
