[[Margaret Sanger]] was an American [[feminist]] and [[eugenics]] activist who founded the [[American Birth Control League]]. She retired from the organization in 1940 and it eventually became [[Planned Parenthood]]. Her main success was in bringing discussions of [[Birth Control]] into the public arena. She blamed large families for all of the ills of society,<ref name=moralityandbirthcontrol>[https://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/webedition/app/documents/show.php?sangerDoc=213391.xml MORALITY AND BIRTH CONTROL]</ref> and argued that a major reason to promote birth control was to stop abortions.<ref>[https://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/webedition/app/documents/show.php?sangerDoc=232534.xml BIRTH CONTROL OR ABORTION?],</ref>  She was vigorously denounced by the Catholic Church because of her position on birth control.
