Who is known as founder of Planned Parenthood?

• A. Margaret Sanger
• B. Linda Richards
• C. Florence Nightingale
• D. Mary Breckinridge

Answer: (A)

The main idea is identifying who started the Planned Parenthood movement and organization. Margaret Sanger was a pioneering advocate for birth control, opening the first birth control clinic in 1916 and founding the American Birth Control League in 1921. That League later evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, making her the key figure associated with the founding and early development of Planned Parenthood. The other names are notable in nursing history and not connected to the founding of Planned Parenthood.
