<h4>"Mrs. Sanger Defies Courts Before 3,0000"</h4>
<p>"I come to you tonight," she said, "from a crowded courtroom, from a vortex of persecution. I come not from the stake at
Salem, where women were burned for blasphemy, but from the shadow of
Blackwell's Island, where women are tortured for 'obscenity.'"</p>
<p>"Birth control is the one means by which the working man shall find emancipation. I was one of eleven children. My
mother died when I was 17 because she had had too many children and had worked herself to
death. I became a nurse to help support my family, and I soon discovered that 75 per cen of the diseases of men and women are due
to sex ignorance. I determined that when I was able I would do what I could to solve that problem. I found that the average person was
as ignorant of sex matters as our most primitive ancestors. There has been progress in every department of our lives except in the
most important--creation. So I cam to the conclusion that the greatest good I could do was to help poor women to have fewer children
to be brought up in want and poverty. I threw my nurse's bag away and swore I would take it up no more. I went to Europe
and studied the birth control clinics there and came back to America to do what I could.</p>
<p>Colonel Roosevelt goes all about the country telling people to have large families and he is
neither arrested nor molested. But can he tell me why I got sixty-three letters in one week from poor mothers in
Oyster Bay asking me for birth control information? No woman can call herself free until she can
choose the time she will become a monther.</p>
<p>My purpose in life is to arouse sentiment for the repeal of the law, State and Federal. It is we women who have paid for the folly of
this law, and it is up to us to repeal it. It is only by birth control that woman can prepare with man, her brother, for the emanicipation of the race.</p>
