(The Radiance Foundation<\/a>)\u00a0Denial. It\u2019s a multi-billion-dollar business. And Planned Parenthood\u2019s newest President\u2014Alexis McGill Johnson\u2014knows it. She oversees the $2 billion leading killer of unborn black lives (an estimated 247<\/a> per day) but wants to conjure up some fake history about the prolife movement being founded in racism. Her recent OpEd in the Wall Street Journal, \u201cIn Defense of Margaret Sanger on Eugenics\u201d<\/a>, is as honest as Rachel Dolezal is black.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson denies that Sanger promoted eugenics. Sanger didn\u2019t merely promote it; she embodied it as a member of the virulently racist American Eugenics Society and one of its ringleaders. The Negro Project<\/a>, which Johnson was referring to but did not name, was not an altruistic effort despite the official Margaret Sanger Papers Project\u2019s laughable denial of Sanger\u2019s own documented racism (opposition<\/a> to legal immigration, anti-semitism<\/a>, and speaking to KKK and other like-minded gatherings in her autobiography<\/a>). Its objective was to severely reduce or eliminate the birth rate of poorer blacks. The ever duplicitous Sanger proudly proclaimed, in her article entitled The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda<\/i><\/a>: \u201c\u2026the campaign for Birth Control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal, with the final aims of Eugenics.\u201d She continued: \u201cPossibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupidly cruel sentimentalism.\u201d<\/p>\n
