	Margaret Sanger
		Margaret Sanger dedicated her life to making birth control available to all women in the world and thereby increased the quality and length of women's and children's lives.
		Sanger had seen enough women, including her own mother, die due to lack of birth control information and access, and she was determined to bring both to the poor women of the world.
		Sanger chose the poor Brownsville section of Brooklyn as the sight of the first birth control clinic in the United States because she knew it was the poor and middle class women who most needed birth control information.

	American Experience \| The Pill \| People & Events
		Margaret Sanger devoted her life to legalizing birth control and making it universally available for women.
		Sanger had championed the diaphragm, but after promoting it for decades, she knew it was still the least popular birth control method in America.
		Not only did Sanger live to see the realization of her "magic pill," but four years later, at the age of 81, Sanger witnessed the undoing of the Comstock laws.

	About Margaret Sanger
		Sanger was making a case against the church, trying to show that she the moral side of the battle, not the church.
		Margaret, at the beginning of her crusade, also sought the help of two groups that were organized to help women and the poor, the feminists and the Socialists.
		As a result, Margaret Sanger abandoned her crusade for the lower class and began to educate the upper and middle classes about the importance of birth control and women’s health.

	Margaret Sanger's "Deeds of Terrible Virtue"
		When Sanger had a publicity photo taken of herself with her two sons, the demure portrait of a mother in mourning garnered public sympathy and provided an excuse for the government, which was already wary of bringing further publicity to sex theories and birth control, to drop its charges against Sanger.
		Sanger frequently reinvented her image, aligning herself with socialists, sex theorists, lobbyists, eugenicists, international birth control advocates, feminists, and suffragists, harnessing the momentum of these movements to drive her fight for contraception forward.
		Margaret Sanger promoted access to birth control for all women, regardless of class, arguing that women should be able to restrict their family size voluntarily.

	Sanger's Legacy Is Reproductive Freedom and Racism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Despite Margaret Sanger's contributions to birth control and hence women's freedom and empowerment, her legacy is diminished by her sympathies with eugenics.
		Sanger's efforts to provide access to contraception are at the foundation of decisions to provide equal access to prescription contraceptives and other prescriptions.
		Sanger advocated the mandatory sterilization of the "insane and feebleminded." Although this does not diminish her legacy as the key force in the birth control movement, it raises questions much like those now being raised about our nation's slaveholding founders.

	BlackGenocide.org \| The Truth About Margaret Sanger
		Sanger was convinced that the "ordeals of motherhood" had caused the death of her mother.
		To Sanger, the ebbing away of moral and religious codes over sexual conduct was a natural consequence of the worthlessness of such codes in the individual's search for self-fulfillment.
		Her standard speech asserted seven conditions of life that "mandated" the use of birth control: the third was "when parents, though normal, had subnormal children"; the fourth, "when husband and wife were adolescent"; the fifth, "when the earning capacity of the father was inadequate." No right existed to exercise sex knowledge to advance procreation.

	Margaret Sanger
		Sanger claimed that, of all her experiences as a midwife and visiting nurse, the death of one of her clients from a self-induced abortion was the tramatic event that led her to focus all her energy on the single cause of reproductive autonomy for women.
		When Margaret Sanger died of congestive heart failure in 1966 after a four year stay in a Tucson Arizona nursing home, her goal of reproductive autonomy for all women remained unattained, but she had done more than any other individual to give women control over their bodies.
		Sanger said she hoped she would be remembered for helping women, because women are the strength of the future.

	Margaret Sanger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1914, Sanger launched The Woman Rebel, a monthly newsletter advocating contraception (and coining the term "birth control") and that each woman be "the absolute mistress of her own body." She was indicted for violating postal obscenity laws in August and fled to Europe as "Bertha Watson" to escape prosecution.
		Sanger died in 1966 in Tucson, Arizona at age 86 which was 8 days from her 87th birthday and only a few months after the landmark Griswold v.
		Sanger was an avid defender of free speech who was arrested at least eight times for expressing her views in a time when speaking publicly in favor of birth control was illegal.

	The Repackaging of Margaret Sanger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		There can be no doubt that Sanger would have been wildly enthusiastic over China's one-child policy, for her "Code to Stop Overproduction of Children," published in 1934, decreed that "no woman shall have a legal right to bear a child without a permit...
		But Sanger was not content merely to publish racist propaganda; the magazine also made concrete policy proposals, such as the creation of "moron communities," the forced production of children by the "fit," and the compulsory sterilization and even elimination of the "unfit."
		Following Sanger's death in 1966, Planned Parenthood felt so confident that it had safely buried her past that it began boasting about "the legacy of Margaret Sanger." And it began handing out cutely named Maggie Awards to innocents who often had no inkling of her real views.

	[No title]
		It was Sanger who actually coined the phrase "birth control," and it was she who opened the first birth control clinic in the nation, circa 1916.
		It was not out of compassion for women that Sanger did what she did: her work was aimed at benefiting only a particular class of women, and, what is worse, it assisted a political ideology that, at last worldwide count, was shown to have deliberately murdered nearly 100 million innocent people.
		Sanger's own activities were part of a broad radical agenda calculated to upset the political, religious, and social orders of the day, and, collectively, all were intended to hasten the expected collapse of bourgeois America.

	Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, In Her Own Words
		Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization.
		Sanger espoused the thinking of eugenicists -- similar to Darwin's "survival of the fittest" -- but related the concept to human society, saying the genetic makeup of the poor, and minorities, for example, was inferior.
		One of Sanger's greatest influences, sexologist/eugenicist Dr. Havelock Ellis (with whom she had an affair, leading to her divorce from her first husband), urged mandatory sterilization of the poor as a prerequisite to receiving any public aid.

	Margaret Sanger
		What is most clear about Sanger, as will be shown from the excerpts that follow, is that she was an elitist bigot who believed in eugenics (which means, literally, “well born”), a popular pseudo-science that claimed to be able to blame societal ills on the heredity of the people who suffered those same ills.
		It is correct, therefore, to call Sanger an “elitist bigot” in that she advocated the control of the alleged over-production of the “unfit,” a population specified by categories that often included large portions of racial minorities.
		Sanger elsewhere speaks of people “who never should have been born,” and she also frequently refers to infanticide as a primitive form of birth control.

		Margaret Higgens was born in Corning, New York, in 1883.
		Margaret Sanger had begun her work on behalf on women's freedom from unwanted pregnancies; she renamed the prevention of conception 'birth control', and under that name it began to get attention in the newspapers.
		The Masses published articles in defence of him and of Margaret Sanger, and the magazine was immediately flooded with thousands of letters from women, asking for information about the methods of birth control, and giving the best as well as the most heartbreaking reasons for needing such information.

		Now that reproductive freedom is becoming accepted and conservative groups are fighting to maintain control over women's bodies as the means of reproduction, Sanger's revolution may be even more controversial than during her 50-year career of national and international battles.
		While working as a practical nurse and midwife in the poorest neighborhoods of New York City in the years before World War I, she saw women deprived of their health, sexuality and ability to care for children already born.

		Margaret Sanger, the American birth-control and population-control advocate who founded Planned Parenthood, stands like a giant among her contemporaries.
		Despite Sanger's celebration as a liberator of women and the feminist hagiographies that have been written of Planned Parenthood's founder, Franks argues that Sanger's eugenic ideas are antithetical to freedom and to true feminism, aiming to suppress precisely what it is that makes women women.
		Sanger certainly had enormous influence, but before deciding whether that influence was good or bad, one would be well advised to read this book.
