'''Margaret Sanger''' (born: September 14, 1879; died: September 6, 1966) was an American [[feminist]] and [[eugenics]] activist who founded the [[American Birth Control League]]. She retired in 1940 and the organization eventually became [[Planned Parenthood]]. Her main success was in bringing discussions of [[Birth Control]] into the public arena. She argued that a major reason to promote birth control was to stop abortions.  She was vigorously denounced by the Catholic Church because of her position on birth control.
