08 Apr Facts about Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood

• Margaret Sanger first coined the term “birth control” and fought to get it widely accepted. She wrote in 1914: “Birth control appeals to the advanced radical because it is calculated to undermine the authority of the Christian churches. I look forward to seeing humanity freed someday of the tyranny of Christianity no less than Capitalism.”
• Sanger repeatedly denounced marriage.
• The U.S. Post Office suspended Sanger’s postal privileges and she was indicted for violating federal anti-obscenity laws.
• In her book, “Women and the New Race”, Sanger wrote, “The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is kill it.”
