Thanks to anon for revisiting the connection between Mary Lasker (woman who basically got NIH into being the medical research behemoth that it is) and Margaret Sanger. I was thinking of getting back into the dig on this subject.
Here's something interesting to consider:

You can see how interesting in population control both women appear to be. What really got my attention is from the information at the bottom of the linked archived letter.
Quote: "Lasker became involved in the birth control movementwhose leader was Margaret Sangerafter the 1936 White House Conference on Child Health and Protection alarmed her with its findings of endemic childhood diseases and poverty. In 1938, she became secretary of the Birth Control Federation of America and later of its successor, the Planned Parenthood Federation. She and Albert Lasker were the largest individual donors to birth-control programs in the country in the early 1940s. Other than birth control, Mary Lasker did not involve herself specifically in women's health issues."
NIH is the largest funder of medical research in the world, but the woman who seemingly almost singlehandedly got the NIH to its present status wasn't interested much in women's health beyond birth control!
