In the 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in The Great Gatsby: "There is nothing more dangerous than a man with only one idea." Little did Fitzgerald realize then how prophetic his statement would prove to be. For less than a decade later, Adolf Hitler began promulgating his single idea of the master race -- an idea that not only ignited World War II but also fueled the gas chambers that killed six million Jews.
At just about the time Fitzgerald was first penning his words, the pioneer of abortion rights, Margaret Sanger, was calling on American women to "look the whole world in the face with a go-to-hell look ... No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body." Sanger's words became the rallying cry of a movement that has ever since made a woman's right to abortion the single most important issue in Democratic Party politics.
