Birth Control in the Cabinet: Planned Parenthood in the Archives

As I write in this week’s magazine,  Planned Parenthood has a long and tangled and controversial history. It  stretches back nearly a century. Its history can’t be Googled.  Reporters have had to scramble to try to figure out what Cain and other  critics of Planned Parenthood’s past are talking about because, although  there are several terrific histories of the birth-control movement and  biographies of some of its leaders, the history of Planned Parenthood  hasn’t been written yet: it’s in the archives.
