History

In 1928, a group of women from Minneapolis formed the Motherhood Protection League to provide married women with information and birth control devices to allow them to space their pregnancies. The women of the league rallied support among ministers, physicians, and welfare executives. On June 10, 1931 they incorporated the Minnesota Birth Control League with headquarters at 223 Walker Building on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. On October 24, 1931 the league opened a birth control clinic, later known as the Minneapolis Maternal Health Center, at the same address.

Similar work began in St. Paul in 1932, when the Council of Jewish Women provided financial support that allowed the Jewish Welfare Association of St. Paul to send women under its care to a private physician to receive birth control information. In 1935, the Minnesota Birth Control League opened the St. Paul Maternal Health Center at 633 Hamm Building and the Council of Jewish Women terminated its project. The Ramsey County League for Planned Parenthood was incorporated in November 1940 and assumed responsibility for the operation of the St. Paul Maternal Health Center. In later years, the Ramsey County group would trace its origins to 1935, the date the maternal health clinic opened in St. Paul.

During the 1930s, the Minnesota Birth Control League encouraged the development of county leagues and clinics throughout the state. In addition to the clinics in Minneapolis and St. Paul, birth control or maternal health clinics opened in Duluth, Rochester, and Hibbing.

The Hennepin County League for Planned Parenthood was incorporated in January 1941 and took over all Minneapolis activities, including the Minneapolis Maternal Health Center, from the state league. The distinction between the Minnesota and Hennepin County leagues was not always clear to observers because the two groups operated at the same address and the state league's leadership and membership had always been heavily Minneapolis-based.

The Minnesota Birth Control League changed its name to the Minnesota League for Planned Parenthood circa 1940-1941. The name change paralleled that of the Birth Control Federation of America, which, in 1942, became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Both reflected a desire to dissociate the movement from fears of declining wartime birthrates by emphasizing family planning rather than limitation of family size. Now separated from direct responsibility for the Twin Cities projects it initiated, the Minnesota League for Planned Parenthood assumed a supervisory and service relationship to the leagues in Hennepin, Ramsey, Olmsted, and St. Louis counties. Statewide activity declined and, after several cycles of dormancy and attempted revival, the Minnesota League for Planned Parenthood disbanded in 1951.

Local activity continued to grow. In 1945, for example, the Hennepin County League for Planned Parenthood began to offer marriage counseling to supplement their clinical and public education services. In 1956, Hennepin County League for Planned Parenthood became Planned Parenthood of Minneapolis under a revised constitution and by-laws. Ramsey County League for Planned Parenthood made a similar change to become Planned Parenthood of St. Paul in 1957. It opened new clinics in the Selby-Dale and Westside neighborhoods in 1963 and 1965, respectively.

Medical advances, along with legal and social changes, during the 1960s brought about increased demand for Planned Parenthood services. The development of oral and intrauterine contraception revolutionized birth control practices and the 1965 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Griswold v. Connecticut , overruled state laws that had restricted dissemination of birth control information and devices. In 1968, the St. Paul and Minneapolis clinics opened their doors to women who were not married for the first time. By 1971, three quarters of their patients were single women.

Statewide activity resumed in 1964 when Planned Parenthood of Minneapolis received a $10,000 gift from the Minneapolis Foundation to employ a field worker to circulate in out-state areas. The following year, Planned Parenthood of St. Paul joined in the sponsorship of the Planned Parenthood Minnesota project, which aimed to provide family planning information and services to all women who wanted them throughout the state. Out of the project grew Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, incorporated in 1969, which took responsibility for activities outside the Twin Cities.

In 1971, in an effort to achieve greater efficiency and economy, Planned Parenthood of Minneapolis and Planned Parenthood of St. Paul gave up their separate identities and merged with Planned Parenthood of Minnesota. Pamela Getz Veerhusen, executive director of Planned Parenthood of Minneapolis since 1956, and Lewis Moody, executive director of Planned Parenthood of St. Paul since 1968, both resigned to accept positions with Planned Parenthood - World Population (formerly Planned Parenthood Federation of America). Thomas P. Webber became executive director of the single state-wide organization, Planned Parenthood of Minnesota.

Collection Scope and Content Note

The Planned Parenthood of Minnesota records document the activities of birth control associations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, and reflect medical and social issues surrounding contraception, family planning, fertility, and population control. Included are: the development of new contraceptive methods and the impact of oral contraceptives; the relationship between Planned Parenthood and various religious bodies (specifically, the efforts to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to contraception other than the rhythm method with the 1968 Papal Encyclical Humanae Vitae); and the efforts to develop community support through education programs, luncheons, speakers, and state fair exhibits. Also covered are the changing images of the ideal family and its size, the changing emphases on the rationale for contraception, concern over infertility, changing mores of sexual behavior (particularly single mothers), attitudes towards abortion and sexuality in general, and attitudes of upper-middle class volunteers towards working-class clients.

The records include correspondence, minutes, newsletters, press releases, reports, financial records, notes on meetings, Planned Parenthood Federation of America publications, invitations, advertisements, sermons, lectures, scrapbooks, clippings, and calendars. The records consist of internally generated materials documenting the actions of the local (primarily Minneapolis) affiliates. This includes decisions made by the board of directors and staff, outreach efforts in clinic work, educational programs, counseling, and publicity. Materials from the interactions between the national organization and local affiliates of PPFA are also included. A helpful, if incomplete, understanding of the national organization can be garnered from these records.

Nationally prominent individuals such as Margaret Sanger, Paul Popenoe, Shidzué Ishimoto, Naomi Thomas, Charles Vogt, Dr. Abraham Stone, Lady Dhanvati Rama Rau, Bishop James Pike, Dr. Mary Calerone, and Miriam Garwood are documented. Many of these people were Planned Parenthood Federation of America or International Planned Parenthood staff or speakers for PPFA who visited the Minnesota affiliates, often in conjunction with local fund-raising. Locally prominent individuals who were members of the executive staff of local affiliates are also documented. These include Mrs. John [Sage] Cowles, Jane Browne, and Pamela Getz Veerhusen.

Before processing, the collection had an extremely rough chronological arrangement, with materials originating from the local and national organizations interspersed indiscriminately. Processing rearranged the documents into three series: Hennepin County and Minneapolis; Ramsey County and St. Paul; and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Each series is divided into five sub-series: History, Corporate Records, Finances and Fund-raising, Personnel, and Operations and Activities. Most materials within the sub-series are arranged chronologically. For the most part, original order has been preserved within folders. Researchers who want to acquire the most complete picture of local activity are advised to examine the material relating to the national Planned Parenthood Federation of America in addition to the records from local affiliates.

Beginning in 1944, these annual fund-raising campaigns were coordinated with the national fund-raising campaigns of PPFA. These annual events generally focused around the lectures of prominent speakers and other social functions. PPFA sent out extensive mailings of press suggestions and publicity materials to help guide local fund-raising activities.

Medical Information  
Note The Medical Information files consist of clinic reports, correspondence, questionnaires, information on contraceptive research, contraceptive supply requests, and patient letters and referrals. Initially, the Hennepin County League for Planned Parenthood referred clients to individual doctors. Later, Planned Parenthood clinics handled medical concerns. The clinics dispensed contraceptives and medical advice on a sliding scale fee basis primarily for low-income patients. Catholic patients were counseled in the use of the rhythm method. Other patients were given a choice of birth control methods. The diaphragm was especially common until replaced by oral contraceptives in the 1960s. Infertility assistance was also available. The clinics also conducted research on new methods of contraception, such as the EMKO foam and Enovid and Orthonovum pills. This research was conducted in conjunction with Planned Parenthood Federation of America's medical division and with pharmaceutical companies, such as Fomos Laboratories, Inc.

Series 3. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, 1936-1971 
Note Series 3, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), contains records generated by PPFA and its regional affiliates. PPFA set general policies, directed medical and social research, and served as a clearing house and certifying agency for the local affiliates. In addition, it functioned as a resource for the local affiliates, particularly in the areas of fund-raising and public information. The material includes records on PPFA annual meetings, field visits of nationally notable individuals, press guides, reports from various PPFA committees, and PPFA newsletters. Only a small portion of nationally generated records is included in this series. Rather than fully documenting PPFA activities, the records document the relationship between PPFA and its local affiliates. Primarily, the series documents this relationship from the perspective of the Hennepin County League for Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood of Minneapolis. In addition to nationally generated material, Series 2 contains materials from or about other state and international planned parenthood organizations. These materials were usually created in response to questions from Minnesota affiliates or as a result of dealing with an issue or problem. The series is divided into five sub-series: History, Corporate Records, Finances and Fund-raising, Personnel, and Operations and Activities.
