who created planned parenthood

Planned Parenthood was created by Margaret Sanger. She, along with her sister Ethel Byrne and Fania Mindell, opened the first birth control clinic in the United States in 1916 in Brooklyn, New York. Sanger founded the American Birth Control League in 1921, which later evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1942. She was a birth control activist and nurse who campaigned for the legalization and accessibility of contraceptives and was instrumental in the birth control movement in the U.S. Planned Parenthood traces its origins directly to her efforts and organizations she established or influenced.
