In 1990, Planned Parenthood Federation of America launched a nationwide public relations drive called the Campaign for New Birth Control in reaction to reports that Americans were being deprived of contraceptives available in other parts of the world. This article will use Planned Parenthood's Campaign for New Birth Control as a case study of how reproductive rights activists organized around emerging contraceptive technologies in the late twentieth century. It will discuss how Planned Parenthood tried to rally a diverse range of constituencies around the notion of a "contraception gap." This construct was based on the presumption that developing new contraceptive technologies was unmistakably feminist because it gave women more options to control their fertility. However, other actors involved in the New Birth Control campaign believed the "contraception gap" was an inappropriate strategy for mobilizing broad support for birth control innovation.
1990年，美国计划生育联合会发起了一场名为“新型节育运动”的全国性公关活动，以回应有关美国人被剥夺世界其他地区可得避孕药具的报道。本文将以美国计划生育联合会的“新型节育运动”为例，研究20世纪后期生殖权利活动家如何围绕新兴避孕技术进行组织。它将讨论计划生育联合会如何试图围绕“避孕差距”这一概念团结各种各样的支持者。这一构想基于这样一种假设，即开发新的避孕技术无疑是女权主义的，因为它为女性提供了更多控制生育的选择。然而，参与“新型节育运动”的其他行为者认为，“避孕差距”是动员广泛支持节育创新的不恰当策略。
