Also, let's not forget that wherever and whenever a society accepts contraception, birth control follows quickly on its heels! May we all be like Mary in our willingness to allow God's will to be done in our lives. Perhaps the most pro-life verse in the entire Bible can be summed up in today's gospel reading: "May it be done to me according to your will." Mary chose LIFE! She chose to birth the author of LIFE! Praise God!(By the way, I am the happy mother of 10 precious children and will gladly accept as many more as the Lord chooses to bless me with! And no,I am not particularly wealthy, but I am rich!)God is SO GOOD!! - Sue McMahon Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:38:43 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9249 "Relgion over science: sound familiar?" Ummmm....no. What are you talking about? - Sue McMahon Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:26:34 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9206 Dear Mr. Marlin, I understand what you are getting at in your article. On the other hand, contraception is dangerous and vicious, too. Does the use of contraception not rend spousal relations? In your article, moreover, there is no mention made of the abortifacient end of many types of contraception. Sincerely yours, Edward - Edward G. O.

There was a little booklet she wrote and that was published and circulated among young women attending college in the 1920s. My father's aunt was one young Catholic, (Franco-German 3rd Generation American middle class) that was attending a local college to be a school teacher. She left the Catholic faith, married (?) a man that was very involved with Sanger's movement, and died from a botched abortion that she was persuaded to have done. Her mother was by her bedside when she died. Story all the kids were told as they grew up, it was typhoid or influenza. It was sepsis. - Sandra Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:03:09 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9199 To all who've requested the source for the Margaret Sanger quote, please check back tomorrow.

Thanks. - Jim Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:53:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9195 Thank you. Where can we find the quote from Sanger "dangerous and viscous". - c johnson Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:45:01 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9194 Oh my! It certainly takes a great deal of twisting to get Margret Sanger, the woman that told her father at her mothers funeral, "You caused this. Mother is dead from having too many children." which drove her to coin the phrase "birth control" and made Enovid a reality to somehow support a religious ideology she fought her entire life until the very end. Good try though. - Mr. Patton Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:33:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9193 Good article, and surprising new fact. Please, where can one find this statement? It helps if sources are cited. - Kat Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:28:59 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html#comment-9192 Really? "That’s right. Margaret Sanger actually stated that: “Birth control does not mean abortion.” Here are her exact words:" In today's world, so many claims are made regarding what someone in the past said that to not cite the source only begs the reader to assume the writer is more interested in their agenda than the truth. It is disgusting to ask for a "slew of $50, $75, and $100 contributions" yet fail to in the most basic obligation a writer has to the dignity of others and the truth. You should be ashamed of yourself.

After all, many serious people as well as those of foggy minds have changed their stances on things; we call former cases conversion experiences. Do any other TCT readers know of a change of stance by Sanger on either the abortion issue or the race issues? If so, please share. (Sorry if I've overstepped my bounds by making such a request.) - Thomas C. Coleman, Jr. Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:26:22 +0100
