Choices of the Heart: The Margaret Sanger Story

The film delves into Margaret Sanger's journey as she challenges societal norms and legal barriers regarding contraception in early 20th century America. It presents her publication of a groundbreaking booklet on birth control techniques, which defied the Comstock laws that prohibited such information.

Through dramatic storytelling, the film illustrates Sanger's efforts in establishing the first birth control clinic in the U.S. in 1916 and her involvement in founding Planned Parenthood in 1925. With a cast that includes Dana Delany and Rod Steiger, this production from Hearst Entertainment & Syndication offers a compelling narrative on an important figure in reproductive rights.
