A translated copy of the handbill that was handed out prior to the opening of her first clinic.

Where she was arrested for giving poor people information about Birth Control

Yeah she was arrested for that. I bet you find that as appalling as I do, but hey, it was just the times, no different than the racist views of her day, so we shouldn't be too overly upset about it, right?

I've seen a lot of quotes that put her in a bad light, you say I'm just parroting and they are taken out of context. Now, I can't determine if that's true if you don't give me a link or something can I? One handbill isn't going to cut it with the numerous quotes thrown about by pro-life organizations. In fact, here's a page that has a good many of them. I've no doubt one or two may be taken out of context, but all of them??

You're the one saying they are taken out of context, so I think you should be the one to prove to me that is the case.
