The three ladies distributed birth control, birth control advice and birth control information; but they were arrested and jailed after violating the Comstock Act, where they were accused of distributing obscene materials at the clinic.

While there were many who did not agree with her distinctive beliefs, a part of the modern black community
Oppression continues to remain hidden within “chivalrous” behaviors and ideals as presented by male dominated institutions that attempt to make decisions on behalf of women. Take for example, the war on Planned Parenthood and female healthcare. Currently, the women’s healthcare organization, Planned Parenthood has been within the eye of the media and the talk of the politicians for its practices, mainly concerning abortions procedures performed within these facilities.

There have been many legal cases dealing with abortion and the laws restricting it. Some of those cases are: Gonzalez v. Carhart and Whole Woman’s Health Care, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade was an abortion case held in 1973 that was tried because of the abortion laws and the requirements to get one. Roe claimed that the laws violated her constitutional rights.

Birth control pills today are seen differently than in the past and are attainable to many people. Prior to the twentieth century, not many people expressed their feelings about the topic of birth control and shied away from it because men were afraid that women would take over and a pursuit to fight for equality. Moreover, the long endeavor for birth control allowed women today to have control of their own body without being criticized as much today. Margaret Sanger was a strong activist who fought
women's movement and researched birth control. In 1915, Sanger returned to America and within a year opened the first birth control clinic in America. During 1921, Sanger established the American Birth Control League ( a precursor to today's Planned Parenthood Federation of America) and opened the
woman, Katharine Dexter McCormick, funded the creation of the pill with what would be eighteen million dollars today (Planned Parenthood n.pag.).

She elaborates on her claims and
the controversial Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards does make sure that her beliefs and her company emerges stronger each time they take a hit. I admire Cecile’s for the way she handles the criticism she is hit by, for her ambition to fight for what she believes in, and for her dedication and passion. Cecile deals with a numerous amount of reproductive health issues. For example, the on-going battle of abortion that all started with Roe vs. Wade in 1973 makes Planned Parenthood a target for anti-choice
