National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control was a birth control lobbying organization set up in 1929 in Chicago by Margaret Sanger and the Illinois Birth Control League.[1]

The organization was set up into four regional sections. Its headquarters was moved to Washington, D.C. in 1933.[1] The committee was disbanded in 1937, six months after the successful outcome in favor of birth control of the court case United States v. One Package of Japanese Pessaries.[2]
