[QUOTE="roadrunner2012, post: 1135474, member: 40736"] So that's it? Because the founder, almost 100 years ago, held what was then a popular belief? I would assume that you praise her for emphasizing contraception over abortion, which is still the case today? Sanger was opposed to abortions, both because they were dangerous for the mother in the early 20th century and because she believed that life should not be terminated after conception. In her book [I]Woman and the New Race[/I], she wrote, "while there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization."
