Birth Control Clinics Bring Light to Women or Morally Corrupt the Innocence? [By: Bridget Sherman]
NEW YORK, 1920’s – Will wonder never sees? Who would have thought that we would see clinics that offered education services to women of a sensitive nature? Margaret Sanger has done just this. Earlier this year she organized the American Birth Control League (ENotes). Ms. Sanger is an advocate of the education for women. She feels that too many women are left in the dark with lack of pregnancy care and home abortions. This is becoming a debate amongst religious leaders and law offices more than ever lately.
