There emerged a birth control movement in the U.S. in the year 1914. This was a social reform movement that aimed to increase the availability of contraception in America through legalization and education. The first birth control clinic was opened in the year 1916 by Sanger, however, the clinic could not remain open as it was shut down by police. Therefore, it was after the year 1914 that the U.S. government supported birth control techniques.
