I thought Spartans fought with honor. Yet you seek to kill me when I have no way to defend myself? Not fair!

Regarded as the founder of the Birth Control Movement in the US,

Started writing a column for the New York Call entitled "What Every Girl Should Know." Distributing a pamphlet, Family Limitation, to women, Sanger repeatedly caused scandal and risked imprisonment by acting in defiance of the Comstock Law of 1873, which outlawed as obscene the dissemination of contraceptive information and devices.                          

Margaret Sanger's mother went through 18 pregnancies in 22 years, with eleven live births, died at age 45 of tuberculosis and cervical cancer.

On October 16, 1916, Sanger opened a family planning and birth control clinic at 46 Amboy St. in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, the first of its kind in the United States. It was raided nine days later by the police. She served 30 days in prison. An initial appeal was rejected but a state appellate court in 1918 allowed doctors to prescribe contraception.
