Thus, historians like David M. Kennedy and Ellen Chesler were able to celebrate the fact that Margaret Sanger enhanced the ability of many women to have reproductive choices by her work on behalf of “family planning,” a term that rendered birth control more acceptable to a popular audience, while also noting that her decision to enter into a partnership with the American Medical Association and support of a “doctors only” approach to prescribing contraceptive devices rendered access to effective contraception nearly impossible for many working-class and poor women.
Moreover, the leading role that Sanger played in the eugenics movement betrayed the socialist principles that underlay her initial championship of birth control as she came to embrace instead the eugenic principle of more children from the fit and fewer from the unfit.
