From The Indianapolis Star, Wednesday, May 17, 1916: Steps were taken last evening to organize a Birth Control League for Indiana. Nearly 200 women meeting in the Hotel English signified their intentions to become members of the league, and to do everything to aid in tearing aside the curtain of silence behind which physicians have been obliged, by law, to retreat when they were asked how women might limit the number of their offspring. Mrs. Charles Carroll Brown of Indianapolis presided over the meeting and will name a committee to organize the Indiana branch. Mrs. Margaret Sanger of New York, who is at the head of the movement, attended the meeting. She will give a second lecture this evening at the Murat Theater at the request of hundreds women who were unable to gain admittance for her earlier address.
