Planned Parenthood Was Founded to Keep the Black Population Down

"Then why don't you agree with Margaret Sanger's mission to make birth control legal and safe?"

Are you including abortion as a means of birth control? I ask because of your "make birth control legal and safe" comment.


I include abortion.

You are a Leftist, so of course you include abortion, Leftists masturbate at the thought of aborted babies.

You are so ignorant !

Do you realized all the shit that can go wrong with a pregnancy? Nature can be a real bitch .

But you go tell the women "hey. Ya know that baby you are waiting on? Well it turns out the fetus's insides are actually on the outside ! Too bad you have to take the pregnancy to term. That's the law . Hope you survive , cause the baby won't!"

People have to deal with that reality on a daily basis you sanctimonious prick .



You're full of shit, Timmy. When there are serious problems, doctors will recommend aborting the pregnancy.

You know damn well that the biggest issues people have are using abortions as birth control and expecting others to pay for it.

Don't worry . Fed dollars can't be used . So sleep tight knowing your taxes aren't going to aborting babies. They are going to blowing up babies in far off countries!


PP takes in millions of tax dollars and makes millions in profits. Either our money is used for abortions or for supporting Dem candidates. Either way, they don't need or deserve tax money. They can use their profit on campaigns and if it isn't enough, they will just have to tell liberal politicians they can't help them.
 
Planned Parenthood was founded to provide a cash flow from selling of baby body parts so that the honchos could afford their Lamborghinis.

"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."
April 1932 Birth Control Review, pg. 108

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.

Article 1. The purpose of the American Baby Code shall be to provide for a better distribution of babies… and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit.
Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, and no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit…
Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth.

Plan for Peace” from Birth Control Review (April 1932, pp. 107-108)

"[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."
Woman and the New Race, ch. 6

"Such parents swell the pathetic ranks of the unemployed. Feeble-mindedness perpetuates itself from the ranks of those who are blandly indifferent to their racial responsibilities. And it is largely this type of humanity we are now drawing upon to populate our world for the generations to come. In this orgy of multiplying and replenishing the earth, this type is pari passu multiplying and perpetuating those direst evils in which we must, if civilization is to survive, extirpate by the very roots."

Here is the real story. She once spoke to a ladys' auxiliary of the KKK.

Sanger would talk to anybody about family planning.

------------ Margaret Sanger Speaks to the KKK?

While Sanger did speak to such an audience in 1926, “she didn’t hold the group in the highest esteem,” and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke favorably of her at the height of the U.S. civil rights movement:

“Never before had I looked into a sea of faces like these. I was sure that if I uttered one word, such as abortion, outside the usual vocabulary of these women they would go off into hysteria. And so my address that night had to be in the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand,” Sanger writes.

We should also note that in 1966, while she was still alive, Planned Parenthood bestowed the Margaret Sanger award on Martin Luther King Jr. He accepted, and while he was unable to attend the event, his wife Coretta showed up in his place to read his speech. In it, King wrote:

“There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister.”

Given the fact that Sanger’s autobiography had been published nearly 30 years before King’s speech, her earlier address was no secret. It should be clear the civil rights leader did not think of Sanger as a racist.

In short, Sanger once addressed female KKK members in a bid to have her message heard as widely as possible, but she both openly described that meeting and disparaged the group’s mission in her writings, and a photograph supposedly depicting that talk (or a similar one) is fabricated.

ANd the country was founded by slave owners .

Let's talk about now !
As everyone did at the time. Even your queeny had her tea served by slaves.

Doesn't mean a damn thing. You feeble minded idiots can't put things in context of the time period so you shit a brick every time you look at a different culture.

Possible that a hundred years from now the thought of eating meat will be totally disgusting and considered immoral. Doesn't mean what people who at meat in the past should have their work ignored.

Nothing Ben Carson says outrages, or even surprises me. I'm just glad that he woke up for a few minutes and reassured those of us who worry about he has come down with encephalitis, otherwise know as "sleeping sickness"..
 
I see you arbitrarily drew this "commited a crime " line .

Well I arbitrarily draw the line at viability. If it can't live on its own , is it really its own life ?
There is no arbitrary line you dolt. Criminals forfeit their rights to the criminal justice system. A baby that's murdered never gets a right to their own life.

They ain't alive yet! You arbitrarily designate a zygote as an independent life . Nature says that's not true because it can't live on its own.
LOL it is alive dumb ass. If its got a heartbeat its alive and when that heart stops its murder if its an innocent person.

"If it's an innocent person". Nice asterisk you have their !

Hey, if we have a trial for the zygote , are you ok with abortion then?
You fail STILL to understand the difference between CONVICTED CRIMINAL and INNOCENT PERSON.

And if the convicted criminal is actually innocent?

The only pro-life people who's positions I have any respect for are those who are truly pro-life: anti-abortion, anti-death penalty.

Fair arguments were presented about the moving of this thread. It's been moved out of Conspiracy Theory and into Race, since it involves race more than politics.

The founder of Planned Parenthood:.

Martin Luther King Jr.- on being awarded by Planned Parenthood:


There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist – a nonviolent resister. She was willing to accept scorn and abuse until the truth she saw was revealed to the millions. At the turn of the century she went into the slums and set up a birth control clinic, and for this deed she went to jail because she was violating an unjust law. Yet the years have justified her actions. She launched a movement 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, and today 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 so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her. Negroes have no mere academic nor ordinary interest in family planning. They have a special and urgent concern.


Recently the subject of Negro family life has received extensive attention. Unfortunately, studies have overemphasized the problem of the Negro male ego and almost entirely ignored the most serious element – Negro migration. During the past half century Negroes have migrated on a massive scale, transplanting millions from rural communities to crammed urban ghettoes. In their migration, as with all migrants, they carried with them the folkways of the countryside into an inhospitable city slum. The size of family that may have been appropriate and tolerable on a manually cultivated farm was carried over to the jammed streets of the ghetto. In all respects Negroes 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 political leaders in this period. In consequence, Negro folkways in family size persisted. The problem was compounded when unrestrained exploitation and discrimination accented the bewilderment of the newcomer, and high rates of illegitimacy and fragile family relationships resulted.
 
Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sangor and Race.

The OP's arguments are based on little more than cherry picked quotes stripped from their context and made more laughable by the irony (and ignorance from the right's obsession with Sangor) is that she opposed abortion. Her cause and PP's origins were about legal birth control on demand, for women.

Women did not always had the ability to control their fertility and practice birth control.
Sangor was a product of her era - she did not advocate sex outside marriage - however married women women had no rights to refuse sex with their husband, sex on demand was considered a peragative of marriage and a woman's duty. Birth control was illegal. Education about birth control was illegal. Advertising birth control was illegal. Women relied on highly faulty methods in an attempt to reduce pregnancies - those methods were seldom very effective. The damage done to a woman's body from repeated pregancies can have terrible consequences - fistulas, internal damage to ligaments, not to mention increasing mortality as a woman gets older. In addition, the poorest suffered the most as they were least able to support large families. Women had no control legally or culturally over pregnancies until fairly recently and especially not until the pill. Prior to that - the only birth control was condoms for men and they were pretty ineffective and men disliked them.

That's the historical reality that Margaret Sangor experienced and what led to her crusade to make the pill legal and birth control education legal - not killing off blacks.


The OP refers to the following cherry picked quotes:
"[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."
Woman and the New Race, ch. 6

I looked up the chapter that is quoted from: 5. The Wickedness of Creating Large Families. Sanger, Margaret. 1920. Woman and the New Race

It appears to be talking about the damaging affects of large families: high infant mortality, disease and birth defects, poverty, the effect of excessive childbearing on a woman's health and similar things - in support of birth control. I don't see anything about breeding a race out of existence in this - in fact, she is arguing against those who pressure women to bear many children to prevent "racial suicide".

For example, from the article quoted (keep in mind this was written in 1920:

First of the manifold immoralities involved in the producing of a large family is the outrage upon the womanhood of the mother. If no mother bore children against her will or against her feminine instinct, there would be few large families. The average mother of a baby every year or two has been forced into unwilling motherhood, so far as the later arrivals are concerned. It is not the less immoral when the power which compels enslavement is the church, state or the propaganda of well-meaning patriots clamoring against “race suicide.” The wrong is as great as if the enslaving force were the unbridled passions of her husband. The wrong to the unwilling mother, deprived of her liberty, and all opportunity of self-development, is in itself enough to condemn large families as immoral. 3

The outrage upon the woman does not end there, however. Excessive childbearing is now recognized by the medical profession as one of the most prolific causes of ill health in women. There are in America hundreds of thousands of women, in good health when they married, who have within a few years become physical wrecks, incapable of mothering their children, incapable of enjoying life.

That quote DOES NOT EXIST in that source.

That is from a completely different source: My Way to Peace

In it she is referring to the passing on of genetic diseases or "defective traits" assumed to be genetic. It's also important to remember this is written in 1920, before welfare, social security, birth control and effective child labor laws. Poorhouses and workhouses still were in existence. People conflated character traits with genetic traits. "Uppity" women could be sterilized against their wills as could all manner of disabled people. It was a common belief that certain classes of people were inferior (genetically) as well as races and ethnicities. Her view was representative of her era.


"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."
April 1932 Birth Control Review, pg. 108

You can't even get the quote right. Where are you copying it from?

In it's entirety: The Public Papers of Margaret Sanger: Web Edition
Knowledge of birth control is essentially moral. Its general, though prudent, practice must lead to a higher individuality and ultimately to a cleaner race

When you read the article - it has nothing to do with racism or inferior "races" but with common perceptions of her era that poverty/mental and physical defectives/genetics all somehow ran together.

If you want to damn her, out of her historical time period, then why stop with Sangor? The real reason is you don't really care that much about eugenics - but rather, you are looking for anything you can find (regardless of whether it's accurate) to demonize Planned Parenthood.

Eugenics is a terrible thing but was embraced by many: Eugenics in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - compulsary sterilization of "mental defectives", "loose women" etc continued into the modern era. Sangor's name is so low on the list she doesn't come up on the main article and the reason is simple - her main focus was on liberating women from the shackles of perpetual pregnancy. Read her actual articles - what she witnessed in nursing and saw on a daily basis. Sure, her views represent an era we do not agree with, but then - so do the views of many people we call "great".


"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.

That's another quote that was completely stripped of it's context.

For better or worse, she was typical of her generation in terms of racial attitudes, but it certainly did not extend to extermination nor was that what PP was founded upon..

From Wikipedia: Margaret Sanger - Wikipedia
Sanger's writings echoed ideas about inferiority and loose morals of particular races that were widespread in the contemporary United States. In one "What Every Girl Should Know" commentary, she observed that Aboriginal Australians were "just a step higher than the chimpanzee" with "little sexual control," as compared to the "normal man and Woman."[85]

Such attitudes did not keep her from collaborating with African-American leaders and professionals who saw a need for birth control in their communities. In 1929, James H. Hubert, a black social worker and leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[86] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with black doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of black doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press and in black churches, and it received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, founder of the NAACP.[87] She did not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor would she tolerate any refusal to work within interracial projects.[88] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[89]

From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role — alongside Mary Lasker and Clarence Gamble — in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor black people.[90] Sanger wanted the Negro Project to include black ministers in leadership roles, but other supervisors did not. To emphasize the benefits of involving black community leaders, she wrote to Gamble "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." This quote has been cited by Angela Davis to support her claims that Sanger wanted to exterminate black people.[91] However, New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project, argues that in writing that letter, "Sanger recognized that elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow South, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim."[92]

Essentially, the OP has taken out of context and even mangled and altered quotes in an attempt to claim PP was created to abolish the black race.

At least I know now where the mangled quotes come from even though you omitted the source - because it's been used before in the exact same argument:

Hubert, a black social worker and leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[86] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with black doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of black doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press and in black churches, and it received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, founder of the NAACP.[87] She did not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor would she tolerate any refusal to work within interracial projects.[88] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[89]

From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role — alongside Mary Lasker and Clarence Gamble — in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor black people.[90] Sanger wanted the Negro Project to include black ministers in leadership roles, but other supervisors did not. To emphasize the benefits of involving black community leaders, she wrote to Gamble "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." This quote has been cited by Angela Davis to support her claims that Sanger wanted to exterminate black people.[91] However, New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project, argues that in writing that letter, "Sanger recognized that elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow South, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim."[92]

Essentially, the OP has taken out of context and even mangled and altered quotes in an attempt to claim PP was created to abolish the black race.

At least I know now where the mangled quotes come from even though you omitted the source - because it's been used before in the exact same argument:

Per your post:
"Sanger's writings echoed ideas about inferiority and loose morals of particular races that were widespread in the contemporary United States. In one "What Every Girl Should Know" commentary, she observed that Aboriginal Australians were "just a step higher than the chimpanzee" with "little sexual control," as compared to the "normal man and Woman."

If anyone today said a race was one step higher than the chimpanzee, how many nanoseconds would elapse before that person was derided as a racist? There is no context that can put that statement by her in a positive and civil manner.

Quoting a spin from New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project is simply stating their personal slant on her statement. It is mere opinion on their part. Her statement about exterminating blacks can be taken one of two ways - she didn't want to be falsely portrayed as trying to exterminate blacks, or she didn't want to have it known she was trying to exterminate blacks. We don't know either way, it is opinion on that one statement.

BUT, when you add up all of the other statements she made about nonwhites and the poor being an inferior species, you have only one way you can interpret it.

If a conservative had made any of the over a dozen quotes from her shown in this thread, that person would be publicly destroyed for being a racist.
The OP is valid, she was as racist as they come.
