October 16, 1916: The nurse Margaret Sanger opened the first US clinic for family planning and birth control in Brownsville (New York City) together with her sister and a like-minded person.
She was an activist in the movement for birth control and forced sterilization and founded the American Birth Control League in 1921, from which the Planned Parenthood organization emerged in 1942 and later the German Pro Familia, of which she was a founding member.
