Wow I had no Idea that he was involved in all of that. I did know about Margaret Sanger and between her and Hitler i dont think there is much of a difference. I do wish there was somebody at that time to counteract her efforts but I guess thats our jobs now.To me Anthony Comstock is a Saint although I’d have to look up Church teaching on this as he was a protestant. Anthony Comstock, by himself, kept all the pornography out of America during the later part of the 19th century through the beginning of the 20th century. He was hired by the Christian Men’s Association to rid America of anything to do with pornography, birth control and abortion. He alone went after it all and if he had been younger when Margaret Sanger came on the scene, there would have been no Planned Parenthood I believe.
It was the rubber companies, BF Goodrich and Goodyear(condoms) who fought to take him down.
The birth control ruling that took place in 1960’s is Griswold vs. Comstock. This is the ruling that Roe vs. Wade is based on.
