She's like, of course we knew.
People have known that since the beginning of time.
But she wrote a whole book that purported to have thousands of letters from women around the world writing to Margaret Sanger saying, I'm only 23 and I'm on my 14th baby.
The numbers were insane.
She was alleging that there were 23 year olds who were on like their 11th pregnancy.
and dying from overbirth and that they just didn't know how to stop it.
And so she was like, this is why we need abortion clinics.
Now, I looked into this because there's something called the Margaret Sanger Papers Project.
They have everything she's ever done.
If she wiped her mouth on a napkin, they've got that in the archives.
Do you think out of the thousands of letters she said that she got from women saying, I just can't stop having all these babies and it's killing me and I'm miserable.
How many do you think are preserved in the Margaret Sanger Papers Project?
