Racist Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger Was Not so “Pro-Choice” By Jennie Stone, Published September 14th, 2011
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, is often hailed as a champion of women’s rights in historical texts and classes. However, chronically neglected is her true disdain for minority groups in America and how she saw birth control as a way of limiting the populations of those she deemed unworthy of bearing children, even going so far as to advocate that married couples must submit applications in order to have children! Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger Sanger published articles in her newsletter, the ”Birth Control Review,” that depicted her opinions that certain groups of people should have “never should have been born” and that birth control was intended to “create a race of thoroughbreds,” and ensure that society had “more children from the fit, less from the unfit.” Eugenics-advocate groups like the American Eugenics Society, of which Sanger was a listed member until 1956, suggested that the government should consider putting birth control chemicals in the food and water supplies in certain areas of the nation, specifically in urban areas that were dominated by minority groups. Sanger even suggested imposing a law that would disallow women from having children without first obtaining a permit from the government—a permit that would good for only one baby—and if approved, the couple would receive an antidote to counter the effects of the involuntarily ingested birth control chemicals.
The Planned Parenthood founder made her views even more blatantly obvious in a letter she wrote to a woman named Katherine Dexter McCormick in 1950, saying she thought that “…there should be national sterilization for certain dysgenic types of our population who are being encouraged to breed and would die out were the government not feeding them.” McCormick was very wealthy and she later went on to assist Sanger in developing and funding the birth control pill.
That’s funny, because Planned Parenthood never mentions any of these views upon which they were founded in 1942. Although they honor Margaret Sanger annually (with the “Maggie Award”), they conveniently pick and choose which of her values to publicly celebrate and which to sweep under the rug. They would never consider condemning the twisted ideologies of this woman.
However, Sanger’s opinions are still apparent today in Planned Parenthood, and the true intention of birth control is still deliberately hidden under the guise of “women’s liberation.” Their most recent epitome of this was portrayed when Planned Parenthood built the largest abortion facility in the western hemisphere in the center of four heavily minority areas; they blatantly showed that they still to this day target minority groups and continue to play out Sanger’s intentions for the organization.

YUP Shadow... that IS THE LIE! You can find it a hundred times on the net... it's been posted again and again, but it's still a lie. Saying it's so doesn't make it so. If you want the facts go to the sites that I've posted for an explanation.
The net is full of rumors, lies, hoaxes and distortions. Those who's job it is to spread propaganda know that if you post a story enough times, some people will not check the facts and will believe the lie.

Martin Luther King Jr, speech about Margaret Sanger:
"There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger's early efforts. She, likewe, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisone by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister. She was willingto accept scorn and abuse until the truth she saw was revealed to the millions. At the turn of thecentury she went into the slums and set up a birth control clinic, and for this deed she went to jailbecause she was violating an unjust law. Yet the years have justified her actions. She launched amovement which is obeying a higher law to preserve human life under humane conditions.Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, andtoday we honor her courage and vision; for without them there would have been no beginning.Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been soresolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her. Negroes haveno mere academic nor ordinary interest in family planning. They have a special and urgentconcern.Recently the subject of Negro family life has received extensive attention. Unfortunately, studieshave overemphasized the problem of the Negro male ego and almost entirely ignored the mostserious element — Negro migration. During the past half century Negroes have migrated on amassive scale, transplanting millions from rural communities to crammed urban ghettoes. In theirmigration, as with all migrants, they carried with them the folkways of the countryside into aninhospitable city slum. The size of family that may have been appropriate and tolerable on amanually cultivated farm was carried over to the jammed streets of the ghetto. In all respectsNegroes were atomized, neglected and discriminated against. Yet, the worst omission was the absence of institutions to acclimate them to their new environment. Margaret Sanger, who offered an important institutional remedy, was unfortunately ignored by social and politicalleaders in this period. In consequence, Negro folkways in family size persisted. The problem wascompounded when unrestrained exploitation and discrimination accented the bewilderment of the newcomer, and high rates of illegitimacy and fragile family relationships resulted

Sunday, July 18, 2010 Margaret Sanger: Racist Friend of the KKK
Planned Parenthood loves to pooh-pooh the facts about Margaret Sanger's racism. But it is a historical fact that Sanger was invited and accepted an invitation to speak at a Ku Klux Klan ralley which generated, according to her, another dozen invitations. I have been trying to find the speech she gave on that occasion without success, but I can guess.Sanger was a WASP elitist who believed that blacks, Catholics, Jews, Irish immigrants and many other groups were human weeds. She must have particularly hated the large Catholic families of the early 20th century. Perhaps she was thinking of Catholic families when she said:
THE MOST serious evil of our times is that of encouraging the bringing into the world of large families. The most immoral practice of the day is breeding too many children....
The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it....
The immorality of bringing into being a large family is a wrong-doing shared by three—the mother, the father and society. Upon all three falls the burden of guilt. It may be said for the mother and father that they are usually ignorant. What shall be said of society? What shall be said of us who permit outworn laws and customs to persist in piling up the appalling sum of public expense, misery and spiritual degradation? The indictment against the large unwanted family is written in human woe. Who in the light of intelligent understanding shall have the brazenness to stand up and defend it? Read the complete article.
Sanger described her cloak and dagger experience with the KKK in her autobiography. A warning about that work. I read it about twenty years ago and found it to be a self-serving work. Sanger often credited herself with the work of others. She also exaggerated her credentials claiming to be a nurse. She had some nurses training, never completed. So who knows how much she exaggerated this tale. At any rate, she was among her own, illustrated by the fact that she received numerous invitations afterwards. The Klan hated many of the same groups she did including "Negroes" whom she considered indiscriminate breeders.
Box are you denying that Sanger was a member of the Eugenics Society?
Shadow, half of communication is listening... on a message board listening is READING. I've posted answers to your questions, even this one, but you refuse to read them and learn.
The definition: Eugenics: the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects Eugenics Societies: A eugenics society is a society formed to promote the idea of eugenics. In particular, the two best-known were the British Eugenics Society and the American Eugenics Society, though smaller ones were also at universities such as the Cambridge Eugenics Society. Many prominent people were members of these societies, though with the discrediting of the idea of eugenics, most of them disbanded.

No Box, you're trying to rewrite history but you'll never get the stink off this women no matter how you spin it. Sanger was trying to do to the Black Race what Himmler did to the Jews. Sanger wanted to prevent the Blacks from breeding, prevent those who she deemed inferior from reproducing, and create a superior race based on IQ and physical condition. In fact the Germans got the idea about creating a pure race from us back in the 20's.

Do ya really think that Dr Martin Luther King would celebrate Margaret Sanger if she is as your story portrayed her?
As I posted earlier Shadow... you can go on posting lies... it makes no difference to me. I did my part by pointing out that the story is not true... I don't care if you want to post a lie.
Your disagreement isn't with me Shadow... it's with PolitiFact, Factcheck.org and The Washington Post and the facts.

Knowing what we know now, Martin Luther King Jr would have nothing at all to do with the (NAACP). In fact, MLK could easily say the NCAAP now represents the biggest pitfall for blacks in achieving equal rights. It turns out the NAACP is fine with killing/aborting black babies, especially through PP.
Nineteen million dead aborted blacks later............Sanger would be proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is obviously a compulsion behind eliminating the young black community. But there is clearly more work to be done to rid society of the black parasites.
The Department of Health in nyc found black abortions as a disproportionate number situated in a majority of black neighborhoods. Sadly...for the blacks, this is true at the location of most of the nation's abortion centers. Black Americans are a prime target of the abortion industry. It's been determined 60% of NYC's abortions are done on blacks.
In Philadelphia, their Department confirm that half of all their black babies being aborted. all of PP's 'documented' clinics, 62.5% are located in cities having a higher black population than the state.
But hell............at least there are 19M less blacks in the world. Better than nothin', huh? 'We don't and won't empower them............we will kill them'!

Bumbler thinks that he knows more about blacks, than the most famous black civil rights leader of our time... Martin Luther King. Bumble thinks that he is correct, in spite of evidence to the contrary, and that Dr King was "hoodwinked".
Really Bumble? You believer a report by a pro life site with the agenda of ending abortions. Do ya think that they might be just a little bit biased in their report??? What they say about themselves: " The American Life League is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life education organization in the United States. ALL is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to natural death." Do they sound like they might have an agenda to push???
Why not a report from a Nazi White Supremacy Group about race relations?
Well Bumbler since you know more about race than Martin Luther King... I hope they erect a statue of YOU in Washington DC and tear down the "hoodwinked" Martin Luther King statue... who, unlike you, was uninformed and 'hoodwinked' on Racial issues in the USA. >

Margaret Higgins Sanger (September 14, 1879 – September 6, 1966) was an American sex educator, nurse, and birth control activist. Sanger coined the term birth control, opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established Planned Parenthood. Sanger's efforts contributed to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case which legalized contraception in the United States. Sanger is a frequent target of criticism by opponents of the legalization of abortion, based primarily upon her racial views and support of eugenics, but she remains an iconic figure for the American reproductive rights movement.
Her early years were spent in New York City, where she associated with social activists such as Upton Sinclair and Emma Goldman. In 1914, prompted by suffering she witnessed due to frequent pregnancies and self-induced abortions, she started publishing a monthly newsletter, The Woman Rebel. Sanger's activism was influenced by the conditions of her youth — her mother had 18 pregnancies in 22 years, and died at age 50 of tuberculosis and cervical cancer.
In 1916, Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, which led to her arrest for distributing information on contraception. Her subsequent trial and appeal generated enormous support for her cause. Sanger felt that in order for women to have a more equal footing in society and to lead healthier lives, they needed to be able to determine when to bear children. She also wanted to prevent back-alley abortions, which were dangerous and usually illegal at that time.
In 1921, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. In New York, Sanger organized the first birth control clinic staffed by all-female doctors, as well as a clinic in Harlem with an entirely African-American staff. In 1929, she formed the National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control, which served as the focal point of her lobbying efforts to legalize contraception in the United States. From 1952 to 1959, Sanger served as president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation. She died in 1966, and is widely regarded as a founder of the modern birth control movement.
