Conversation so far:
What happened during the birth control movement?
Diaphragms were generally unavailable in the United States, so Margaret Sanger and others began importing them from Europe, in defiance of United States law.
Why was importing diaphragms against the law?
In the 1870s a social purity movement grew in strength, aimed at outlawing vice in general, and prostitution and obscenity in particular. Anthony Comstock successfully lobbied for the Comstock Act.
Did Margaret Sanger and others get in trouble for importing diaphragms?
Margaret Sanger and her sister, Ethel Byrne, were arrested for breaking a New York state law that prohibited distribution of contraceptives. Sanger was also charged with running a public nuisance.
How long did Margaret Sanger stay in Jail?
Despite being offered a more lenient sentence, Margaret Sanger replied: I cannot respect the law as it exists today. For this, she was sentenced to 30 days in a workhouse.
Did Margaret Sanger have to serve the entire 30 day workhouse sentence?
An initial appeal was rejected, but in a subsequent court proceeding in 1918, the birth control movement won a victory.

Question: How did the law respond to that?
