As much as you'd like to believe that there are people running around who think abortion is "fun", pro-choice proponents actually do believe in contraception first. As for Margaret Sanger, she is an early icon of contraceptive rights/ women's health care rights. She has a lot of controversial views. THAT does not mean that everything she believed is correct or believed verbatim by progressive, pro-choice supporters of PP. Unlike conservatives, we can take the good and disagree with the bad without throwing out the whole person. I might also add that in 1938, society was completely different and ideas on eugenics, embryology, medicine were completely different. I'd just as soon take my medical advice from an internet Charlatan than from a physician in 1938 much less take Margaret Sanger's thoughts about the beginnings of life as truth. Cells may be alive, but I have no problem biopsying live cells everyday. The significance put on a clump of cells differs in the eye of the beholder.
