The fact remains that PP is a private organization free to support those political organizations that support them just as every other corporation or lobbying group does. No federal money is used for that purpose.
"No federal money is used for that purpose."
False.
Research the term 'fungible.'
Research accounting practices and Hyde amendment compliance.
Wingnuts must be getting pretty desperate if they have to claim "racism" in their attacks on PP.
Seems you require a regular upbraiding...
You are unaware that the origination of Planned Parenthood was to diminish the number blacks...
"It was in 1939 that Sanger's larger vision for dealing with the reproductive practices of black Americans emerged. After the January 1939 merger of her Clinical Research Bureau and the ABCL to form the Birth Control Federation of America, Dr. Clarence J. Gamble was selected to become the BCFA regional director for the South. Dr. Gamble, of the soap-manufacturing Procter and Gamble company, was no newcomer to Sanger's organization. He had previously served as director at large to the predecessor ABCL.
Gamble wrote a memorandum in November 1939 entitled āSuggestions for the Negro Project,ā in which he recognized that āblack leaders might regard birth control as an extermination plot.ā He suggested black leaders be placed in positions where it would
appear they were in charge.36 Yet Sanger's reply reflects Gamble's ambivalence about having blacks in authoritative positions:
I note that you doubt it worthwhile to employ a full-time Negro physician. It seems to me from my experience ... that, while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors, they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table, which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts. They do not do this with white people and if we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and ... knowledge, which ... will have far-reaching results among the colored people.37
Sanger knew blacks were a religious peopleāand how useful ministers would be to her project. She wrote in the same letter:
The minister's work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach.
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 [emphasis added]."
