Did Margaret Sanger believe African-Americans
The right generally calls her a racist, someone who started PP to eradicate the black race, she wanted the master race because she believe in eugenics.
These are falsehoods. First her mission was to promote BIRTH CONTROL, not abortion. In fact, she was against abortion. She said birth control would make abortion irrelevant. Her missions was for families to be stronger through planning. It was a worthy mission and she did great things.
She started her mission in the 1920s, she was long dead by the time of Roe v Wade and PP started to do abortions. Again her mission was birth control.
Her opponents say “her views of Eugenics are reasons to dismiss her as a genocidal manic.” Despite the fact that many great people at the time believed in this like Churchill, Hoover and WEB Du Bois. Yet her view was that if people planned their families through birth control then the generation would be stronger. Sounds like a conservative ideal. She had no intentions of wiping out the black race and worked with black leader (along with white leaders) to push for birth control.
She was a great person, who brought birth control to mainstream America.
