Thread: Religious Views on Birth Control

I am a student researching the life and legacy of Margaret Sanger, who almost single-handedly led the fight for birth control throughout the 20th century. To have a better understanding of the results of Margaret Sanger's actions, I would love to discuss (either through e-mail or over the phone) birth control with individuals living in today's society. I would like to know about societal and religious pressure on women to either use or not to use birth control. I will compare this to the pressures women faced throughout the 20th century. I am also interested in talking to nurses or doctors about the pros and cons of using birth control. Finally, I would love to talk with a woman who lived before the 1960s, when the oral contraceptive pill was released to the public and when birth control was officially made legal. If you would like to talk to me, or if you know anyone else who would give me more insight into the present and historical use of birth control please contact me at my e-mail ebradley2010gmail.com.
