Margaret Sanger was opposed to abortion. She thought it was a barbaric and inhumane practice, particularly for the mother. (In that she was right). She WAS a eugenicist, a racist and classist. She advocated contraception and later sterilization to that end, however she never did advocate abortion to that end.

The pro-Life side should publicize pro-Choice's heroinne's anti-abortion views along with her racist and classist views, but of course they'll do neither.

Although not a nice person by our standards today, Sanger sought to PREVENT abortion, infanticide, child abandonment, as well as overpopulation of what she considered undesirable classes of people ..... through contraception, not abortion.

" SOCIETY has not yet learned the significance of the age-long effort of the feminine spirit to free itself of the burden of excessive childbearing. It has been singularly blind to the real forces underlying the cause of infanticide, child abandonment and abortion. It has permitted the highest and most powerful thing in woman’s nature to be hindered, diverted, repressed and confused. Society has permitted this inner urge of woman to be rendered violent by repression until it has expressed itself in cruel forms of family limitation , which this same society has promptly labeled “crimes” and sought to punish.

"Being given their choice by society—to continue to be overburdened mothers or to submit to a humiliating, repulsive, painful and too often gravely dangerous operation, those women in whom the feminine urge to freedom is strongest choose the abortionist. One group goes on bringing children to birth, hoping that they will be born dead or die. The women of the other group strive consciously by drastic means to protect themselves and the children already born.

"The question, then, is not whether family limitation should be practiced. It is being practiced; it has been practiced for ages and it will always be practiced. The question that society must answer is this: Shall family limitation be achieved through birth control or abortion? Shall normal, safe, effective contraceptives be employed, or shall we continue to force women to the abnormal, often dangerous surgical operation?

Of course, Margaret Sanger was wrong about a lot of things. But we should not hesitate to point out that the PP's heroinne was right about abortion being cruel, humiliating, repulsive, painful, abnormal, drastic and dangerous, in Ms. Sanger's own words.
