Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
As a few companions were sitting with me one evening, we debated in turn voluntary parenthood, voluntary motherhood, the new motherhood, constructive generation, and new generation. The terms already in use - Neo-Malthusianism, Family Limitation, and Conscious Generation seemed stuffy and lacked popular appeal... We tried population control, race control, and birth rate control. Then someone suggested 'drop the rate.' Birth control was the answer. - Margaret Higgins Sanger
Mother of American Medical Association founder Nathan Smith.
In a speech given October 5th, 1901 Nathan Smith said "At the age of seven years, as a boy who had never been outside of his father’s farm, born in a log house, and when still in a log house, I was called to the bedside of my dying mother to receive her last words. I was the youngest of a family of seven children; I was in my seventh year. It made a vivid impression upon my mind. She was a Christian - a reader of the Bible. She said to me that she wished me to be a good boy, to learn to worship God and to do good to my fellowmen."
