The fact that Margaret Sanger promoted birth control as a means to promote one race and control birth in other races, does not mean to me birth control is bad.  It means her ideas about race are bad.  Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan were important in promoting the ideas that women have more to give to society than clean floors, cooked meals, and babies.  They made a difference in changing attitudes about women's education, employment, fair wages, legal rights.  We can't talk about what shapes our society without talking about the tremendous change in the position of women in society today versus just 100 year ago. They may have had some bad ideas along with the good, but that does not dismiss what they helped accomplish.

The Catholic Church, many bishops and popes, defended slavery for centuries.  If Margaret Sangor's name is to forever be sullied, why not the names of Catholic popes who defended slavery?  And lets not speak of the guilt by association of bishops and child sex abuse.
