Margaret Sanger. internationally
known birth control advocate, today re-
newed her battle against laws prohib-
iting dissemination of such informa-
ton.
Appearing before Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee, she urged approval of
the bill by Senator Hatfield, Republican,
OF West Virginia, to exempt physicians,
hospitals, licensed clinics and others in
the medical fraternity from existing
bans.
The bill, she said, directly affects
the health, happiness and future devel-
opment" of $4,000 900 women and the
future lives of $4,000, 900 children.
THE bill does not compel any one to
obtain knowledge" she said, but Sim
ply gives the right to physicians to OBJ
tain up-to-date information themselves
and allows them to advise it when it is
needed"
These laws we are trying to amend
are as archaic as they are ridiculous"
she continued. They are relics of an
outworn concept of morality which tries
to make people moral by legislating
against knowledge"
