Having children is the social obligation of all fertile women. This was the political view of the Romanian Communists, a view that was sealed in 1966 by Ceaucescu?s decree no. 770, which outlawed abortion. Also banned were all forms of contraception, and thousands of women died from undergoing illegal abortions. The demographic shape of the state changed within several years, children became the material of the totalitarian regime, which in various and often aggressive ways attempted to mould them.
