Ever since the Obama administration announced a new benefit that gives women access to birth control coverage without co-pays, anti-women's health groups and their allies in Congress have been fighting tooth and nail to take it away from women.

After a massive outcry from Planned Parenthood supporters, President Obama has rejected their demands and protected the women's birth control benefit. Planned Parenthood health centers around the country are writing thank-you cards to President Obama — fill out the form to add your name.

Early this morning I read this brief article with this picture of Margaret and it made me realize how hard and recent this fight has been for Planned Parenthood and birth control and how many Americans are fighting to end this.

Here's the article and picture.

Birth control advocate Margaret Sanger has her mouth covered in protest of not being allowed to talk about birth control in Boston. 17 Apr 1929.
Margaret Sanger waited her whole life to see birth control legalized for all women and the pill hit the market. Just last week Obama signed the Affordable Care Act making birth control covered by health insurance with no co-pay....progress.
