Question 6 • MO-US History II A

Margaret Sanger’s appeal of her 1916 arrest resulted in the

Answer
A
legalization of doctors prescribing contraceptives and discussing family planning with patients.
B
creation of “Comstock Laws” on a state and federal level.
C
opening of her first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York.
D
publication of The Woman Rebel, a women’s health newsletter.

Explanation

Sanger’s 1916 arrest followed the opening of her birth control clinic, which had been shut down under laws restricting contraception. Her appeal led to a 1918 court ruling that allowed doctors to prescribe contraceptives and discuss family planning with patients. The clinic’s opening came before the appeal, so C is not the result of it.
