Why didn't Margaret Sanger receive a Nobel prize?

Question

She pioneered the birth control movement.

Answer 1

I think this information may explain why the Nobel Prize Organization would pull their consideration of her name as a recipient. She was a proponent of eugenics, including euthanasia in some cases and a preacher of racism/segregation. Her sentiments the subject of the Aboriginal men and I quote her, "It is said that a fish as large as a man has a brain no larger than the kernel of an almond. In all fish and reptiles where there is no great brain development, there is also no conscious sexual control. The lower down in the scale of human development we go the less sexual control we find. It is said that the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets." In proposing eugenics, many of her ideas paralleled those of the Nazis and The American Eugenics Movement: To sterilized in order to reduce the imperfect or if need be, to euthanized the imperfect in order to produce a better world... free from suffering. Sanger departed from the radical eugenicists later on the means of euthanasia especially after news of The Holocoust. She did feel that "The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind. "This included sterilizing ****** in order to reduce their population and therefore, crime.
So much for this lady-like hero. She may have had a few good ideas that appeal to the left and center and she did fill in an educational void that the mainstream found objectionable or even criminal to do, but I guess the Nobel organization took into account the repugnant nature of many of her ideas. No matter: Time Magazine declared her one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. In the Time's article, Sanger is practicaly declared a saint, mentioning her dark views and actions and labeling them as mistakes that she later realized.
This is the modern view of Sanger and why this question is being asked, which is even more interesting than the question itself.
Jocularity, jocularity:
She also felt that masturbation was a damaging occupation especially when accompanied by erotic images. I guess this would leave all the Nobel Judges to just twiddle their thumbs in the wake of such profound information...where they could not bring themselves to stamp her insights with the validity of The Big Prize.

Answer 2

She was also the force behind planned parenting. She was criminalized by the religious zealots of the time. So much so that she had to leave the country or be sentenced to prison. The folks that brought about prohibition, also went after her because they thought she was going to bring down the institution of families. She was a guiding force in the field of women's studies, and women's sexuality.

Answer 3

although an ingenous and revolutionary invention, birth control was ahead of its time socially. It had a negative stigma to it to where people felt it gave women the chance to be fast. Also AIDS didnt help much niether but of course it came much later than the pill.
