Margaret Sanger demanded that every child be a wanted child.

Margaret Sanger taught that the birth of a child was to be planned and prepared for. Contraception allowed this. Margaret Sanger never condoned, never advocated abortion. To say that she did so is a lie and has absolutely no documented evidence.

When Margaret Sanger learned that a committee of male Eugenicists were to decide who were to be parents, she severed herself from that affiliation. The mother, only the mother is to decide when and under what circumstances a child is to be born.

Margaret Sanger was buried, at her request, by the side of her black maid, Daisy. Margaret Sanger desired for all women of all color the right to choose her time for motherhood. Margaret Sanger worked to give to black women the same advantages she offered white women, the right to decide when and under what circumstances her child was to be brought into the world.

No less than Martin Luther King, Jr. acknowledged the legacy of Margaret Sanger: the right of women to control their own bodies and so to be the best mothers possible, the right of all children to be loved and wanted and valued.
