Today's daf looks at birth control. A moch, an observant cloth, can be inserted into (or clean out) the vagina in three cases: a minor, a pregnant woman and a woman who is nursing. A minor could die from a pregnancy. A pregnant woman could become pregnant a second time and the fetus could become deformed like a sandal fish. A woman who is nursing could stop nursing if she became pregnant which could kill the live infant. Rabbi Meir says that a minor girl is one who is between eleven and twelve years old. One who is older or younger than that should partake in intercourse. The chachamim say that all women should take part in regular intercourse.
