Blinded by the light
Convenient theology, that.
I've ignored Flynn, his connections would make him a hostile witness to Sanger's life anyway.
Chesler is an actual author. She wrote Woman of valor : Margaret Sanger and the birth control movement in America / c1992, Simon & Schuster. Sanger suffered four heart attacks (this before cardiac bypasses were routine), & she suffered other ailments as well - tubercular infections, gall bladder.
On p. 458 of her biography, Chesler writes:
In 1961, "Back in Tucson (AZ) a new doctor slowly weaned Margaret (age 82) of her addiction to painkillers and limited her to one drink a day."
She died of arteriosclerosis @ age 87 in Sept. 1966; a private funeral service was held in Tucson, lightly attended.
Weeks later, a memorial service was held @ St. George's Church on Stuyvesant Square in New York. Chesler, p.467:
"The city's heaviest rainfall in sixty-three years produced gale-force winds and tortuous traffic congestion that day, and many of the mourners arrived late for the service in the large and beautiful church."
If you cite authors, you might want to read what they actually say/write beforehand. Instead of merely cherry-picking scandalous material for the most damaging things you can find.
