Defective babies, feeble-mindedness, and criminals. According to Margaret Sanger all those things could be prevented. In 1916 she established the first birth control clinic and was arrested for the “distribution of information on contraception” ( “Margaret Sanger: Wikipedia”). Margaret Sanger created an establishment that is still used one hundred years later.Her beliefs were that although abortions could be justified that they could also be avoided by using birth control. Sanger wanted young women to be able to choose when to carry a baby and take on that responsibility. In 1925 she wrote and delivered her speech The Children’s Era at the Sixth International Neo-Malthusian Birth Control Conference. She talks about her views and the effects

In her speech she refers to raising a child to cultivating garden by saying that in order to raise a healthy “garden” it must be in the right environment (Margaret Sanger: “The Children’s Era”). Not only does this pertain to her idea that a child should be brought into a clean environment but it also reiterates her point of accessible birth control. Margaret Sanger’s thoughts and opinions are told throughout her speech but in ways that really captivate the audience. She brought to light the fact that it's too late to fix the filth we've already created but it's not too late to start a new era. The world we live in according to Sanger is filled with “disorder and overcrowded cities” (Margaret Sanger: “The Children’s Era”). The future as she imagines begins with a fresh start. Only wanting mothers should bear a child, people should be tested for the validity of their parental capabilities, and the family history should be traced for the full evaluation of what the expecting child is being brought into. Sanger used these points in her speech to show that a change could be made. Without her use of strong points and extreme word choice her ideas wouldn’t have been so thought …show more content…
She was compassionate about her topic. Sanger had real concern for the future of our world which is why she was so supportive on birth control. During her speech she talks about how a child that is born from a chemically imbalanced mother and in a worry stained environment is foredoomed to idiocy and failure. (Margaret Sanger: “The Children’s Era”). Sanger’s wishes to prevent those things show her tenderness and sympathy for the generations to come. She would often, in her speech use pathos to provide a caring tone. For example, in part of her speech she gave a list of things that the world is doing to try and raise healthy children, but began to say that even that isn’t enough at this point. Margaret Sanger’s speech was given to make a change and to hit the audience in a vulnerable mind set so that it allows people to see that the future depends on them. She only strayed from her compassionate tone when she switched to a more serious one. Toward the end of her speech Sanger suggested that a civil service examination should be done with all parents to-be. She presented a list of questions and even answered some of them. If the questions were not answered to par then the parent would be denied. Her purpose of the questions was to emphasise how little people consider before having a child. She believes that only a wanted child should be brought into this world and that if it not waned then the parents should use a
