Noted. But why hang her photo outside the Irish emigrant museum? Are we that hard up for Irish heroes?A lot of her contemporaries shared her views. They are of course repugnant to people who embrace traditional family values and Catholic ethics.
My point is that Sanger has been unfairly vilified as an abortion proponent.
