cze	Lékaři jako hlavní aktéři debaty o antikoncepci v Československu ve 20.–60. letech 20. století.	Kapitola pojednává o roli lékařů v propagaci antikoncepce v Československu v období 20. až 60. let 20. století. Autorka naznačuje, že v Československu, a to jak v meziválečném období, tak i v prvních dvou desetiletích po komunistickém převzetí moci, hrál lékařský aspekt rozhodující roli v motivaci lidí k podpoře nebo odporu proti antikoncepci a do značné míry lékařské aspekty zastínily ostatní aspekty debaty (feministické, malthusiánské). V důsledku toho se lékaři stali hlavními aktéry debaty o antikoncepci.	antikoncepce; kontracepční hnutí; medicínský diskurz; lékaři
eng	Physicians as the Main Actors in the Debate over Birth Control in Czechoslovakia 1920s–1960s.	The chapter discusses the role of doctors in promoting contraception in Czechoslovakia from the 1920s to the 1960s. This paper suggests that in Czechoslovakia, both during the interwar period and in the first two decades following the communist takeover, the medical aspect played the decisive role in motivating people to support or oppose contraception and a considerable extent medical considerations overshadowed other aspects of the debate (feminist, malthusian). As a consequence, physicians became the main actors in the debate over birth control.	contraception; birth control movement; medical discourse; physicians
