Who was Planned Parenthood’s Founder?

Let’s examine where Planned Parenthood came from.  Who was Planned Parenthood’s founding member?  Where did this person’s moral Compass point?  Where they really concerned with women’s health and well-being?

The founder of Planned Parenthood was a woman by the name of Margaret Sanger.  The Corporation Planned Parenthood has begun to remove Margaret Sanger’s name from their buildings, streets that were named after her, and anything else that would tie Planned Parenthood to the bigoted and racial legacy of Margaret Sanger.  As you read on, you will understand why Planned Parenthood is trying so desperately to distance themselves from this history.

Margaret Stanger, made a speech at a rally of the Ku Klux Klan in 1926.   “The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.”

Planned Parenthood also downplayed her support for Buck v. Bell, the 1927 Supreme Court decision that declared constitutional the forced sterilization of the “unfit.” That ruling allowed the maiming of thousands of black women by means of involuntary hysterectomy in the Jim Crow South.  I wonder how much money Planned Parenthood made with that ruling?

*Margaret Sanger said about her 1939 <Negro Project>, “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 the idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Clarence Gamble, president of the American Eugenics Research Association, said:  “There is a great danger that we will fail because
the Negroes think, it’s a plan for their extermination.  Hence, let’s appear to let the colored run it as we appear to let the south do the
conference in Atlanta.”  Under this policy, Planned Parenthood of
America hired a full-time “black woman Consultant” in 1944.

The entire operation [Sanger’s 1939 Negro Project] was a ruse, a
manipulative attempt to get Blacks to cooperate in their own
elimination.  +The project was quite successful.  Its genocidal intentions were carefully camouflaged beneath several layers of condescending
social-service rhetoric and organizational expertise. 

Does any of this sound familiar?  Using terminology like pro-choice instead of pro-abortion, and without Planned Parenthood women would have no access to medical treatment.  Through marketing, Planned Parenthood is still trying to manipulate the population.
