In part 2 of studying the legacy of Margaret Sanger, we look at what she had to say in speeches, books, and articles. Sanger's "birth control" may seem as innocuous as she articulated sometimes, but her goals were far more top-down. Eugenics, Malthusian population control, and racial bias all played a role in Sanger's totalitarian prescriptions for society. After we see some of what she proposed as laws for the U.S. government, we can be thankful it never materialized.
