Margaret Sanger is the founder of Planned Parenthood.
During the early 20th century, Margaret Sanger worked with women, in particular immigrant women, to discover family planning. Sanger wanted birth control methods legalized to help women control the size of their families. She also believed in eugenics which meant she believed certain populations of people should be controlled in their birthrate to prevent large numbers of undesirable people. Common thinking of the time was to control the rate at which immigrants, in particular Catholic immigrants, were having children. Pushing for women's health and birth control to be legal would help to develop a more controlled and moral society in her opinion.
