Einstein and the WLfSR

[edit]

The 2011 edition of Alice Calaprice's book "The Quotable Einstein" lists three quotes by Einstein in favour of abortion, (p.413) homosexuality (p.432) and sex education (p. 450). Each quote is cited underneath "To the World League for Sexual Reform, Berlin, September 6, 1929". So this means Einstein either spoke at a WLfSR meeting or else sent them a message giving his opinions. Calaprice also cites the quotes to the WLfSR from Michael Grüning's 1991 book "Ein Haus für Albert Einstein", and also the "Einstein Archives 48-304". Calaprice doesn't state whether Einstein spoke at the WLfSR congress, only that he had documented contact with the group. 176.61.94.25 (talk) 18:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
