sep. 14 is margaret sanger's birthday. a native of corning NY, she is perhaps the most influential woman in american history. she was a radical freethinker and determined courageous activist who championed the cause of contraception against immense opposition from both church and state in the early 20th century. her efforts led directly to the establishment of planned parenthood and the development of 'the pill'. these things have improved and saved countless lives, as well as serving as an effective tool to limit population growth. her birthday should be a national holiday.
this brief bio of her life courtesy of planned parenthood does her some justice:
margaret truly changed our world as very few have done. wouldn't u love to change the world?
