Meet the founder of Planned Parenthood

June 24, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

Meet Margeret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Ask yourself if you’d like to have her over for tea.

She advocated for abortions and birth control for blacks, for the “feeble-minded,” for the poor.

‘More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief issue of birth control,” she frankly wrote in her 1922 book The Pivot of Civilization.’ –Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood

That’s their past, you say, and as such we should not judge them for it. But they refuse to disassociate themselves from it. Margaret Sanger, author of quotes far, far worse than that cited above–remains a hero of their movement.

Now they are aiming to rebrand, green clinics–move into more upscale neighbourhoods, the Wall Street Journal reports here. The rebranding doesn’t appear to include a wholesale condemnation of their past.

It should. It’s disquieting to realize that a government-funded entity has fascist roots they refuse to condemn. But is not “every child a wanted child” a derivative of this sort of thinking?
