Judith, thank you for this very rich and interesting post. You've surfaced many stories about Sanger that I hadn't seen previously. Ironic, isn't it, how similar the split among politicians remains today, as illustrated in the quote you have from Sarah Goldstein, who wrote to the Birth Control Review: "We women here want to find out what the president, the mayor, and the judges, and everybody is trying to do. First they put Margaret Sanger in jail for telling us women how not to have any more children, and then they get busy for the starve [sic] of the ones we've got..." Sarah could be talking about anti-choice members of Congress today, starting with Bart Stupak! For those who are interested, here is a speech I gave at the Brooklyn Museum about Margaret Sanger/s brave leadership: http://www.gloriafeldt.com/lea...
