About the poster and the pill:
Although birth control pills were approved for use in1960, its use had been hugely debated and deemed immoral, particularly by Catholic Church.
As shown in this poster dated 1968, The Pill is a No-No, Pope Paul Vl is presented pointing his finger, as if warning the user of the pill of a sentence to a life of eternal damnation. At this time, the Pope signed the last of his seven encyclicals, ( ... originally a circular letter sent to all of the churches of a particular area in the ancient Roman Church. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclical )
The Vatican issued the document that was subtitled, On the Regulation of Birth, in July of 1968, which stressed the teachings of the Catholic Church on matters of marital love, parenting and the rejection of artificial contraceptives.
The encyclical was met with controversy from within. Cardinal Leo Joseph Suenens argued that theology may be dismissing the scientific breakthroughs that lead to a clearer understanding of nature with the threat of a moral axe to stunt the intellect. He questioned, "whether moral theology took sufficient account of scientific progress, which can help determine, what is according to nature. I beg you my brothers let us avoid another Galileo affair. One is enough for the Church."
