　　(2016·四川成都外国语学校4月月考)

　　Many women today have the freedom to decide when they will have children,if they want them.Until about fifty years ago,women spent most of their adult lives having children,year after year.This changed because of efforts by activists like Margaret Sanger.She believed that a safe and sure method of preventing pregnancy (怀孕) was a necessary condition for women’s freedom.She also believed birth control was necessary for human progress.

　　She said that watching her mother suffer from having too many children made her feel strongly about birth control.Her mother died at forty-eight years of age after eighteen pregnancies.She had to care for her father and her ten surviving brothers and sisters.This experience led her to become a nurse.

　　Margaret Higgins worked in the poor areas of New York City.Most people there had recently arrived in the United States from Europe.Margaret saw the suffering of hundreds of women who tried to end their pregnancies in illegal and harmful ways.She realized that this was not just a health problem.These women suffered because of their low position in society.

　　Margaret saw that not having control over one’s body led to problems that were passed on from mother to daughter and through the family for years.She said she became tired of cures that did not solve the real problem.
