Margaret Sanger

Margaret Sanger (1879- 1966) "almost single-handedly founded the birth control movement in America and was the driving force in the development of modern contraceptives."(reference for quote (Margaret Sanger," in American Decades. Gale Research, 1998).

"Sanger has been praised as a brave advocate of sexual liberation and reproductive autonomy for women, and damned as a racist and eugenicist who advocated sterilization of the "unfit" and helped to create a culture in which millions of the "unborn" are murdered through contraception and inducted abortion." (reference for quote:Reed, James : The Selected Papers of Margaret Sanger, Vol. 1, The Woman Rebel, 1900-1928 (review) Bulletin of the History of Medicine - Volume 78, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 237-238)
