Margret Sanger | Intentions

15-Minute History

Apr 8 2024 • 15 mins

Put her name into a search engine and you will be provided with a variety of titles such as “political activist”, “feminist”, “American social reformer”, and “sex educator”. You will be treated to the history of a person who fought hard for women’s reproductive rights. To be clear, all of this is true.

We can have two conversations. The benefits of contraception and reproductive rights while being honest about the person and her stated, evil intent behind both.

Today, we take a deep dive into the motivations of Margaret Sanger, what – according to history – drove her “solutions”, and why even Planned Parenthood is beginning to disavow her.
