In 1916 Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic. Motivated by the deaths of young mothers from self-induced abortions and pregnancy complications, Sanger pioneered birth control for women. She faced fierce opposition and even personal harm, yet she stood her ground. Sanger also started the organization that became the future Planned Parenthood Federation of America. �The movement she started will grow to be, a hundred years from now, the most influential of all time," predicted futurist and historian H.G. Wells in 1931. "When the history of our civilization is written, it will be a biological history, and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine."
