Yet Planned Parenthood and its defenders have consistently and continually defended and honored her &#8220;legacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-reckoning-racist-history\/\">Planned Parenthood has never been serious about \u2018reckoning\u2019 with its \u2018racist history\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abortion advocate Lena Dunham featured Sanger&#8217;s life story in <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/lena-durham-pro-planned-parenthood-video-has-major-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an animated short<\/a> about Planned Parenthood, briefly waving off Sanger&#8217;s eugenic beliefs as something that was no big deal, because eugenics was &#8220;fashionable&#8221; at the time. Dunham tried to portray Sanger&#8217;s cozy ties with eugenicists (which included\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-founder-board-non-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white supremacist<\/a> and Massachusetts Ku Klux Klan member Lothrop Stoddard) as nothing more than a shrewd tactic, a movement Sanger was exploiting solely to grow her visionary organization\u2014ignoring the racism embedded in Sanger&#8217;s beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, Planned Parenthood continued to give out <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-eugenicist-founder-name-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its annual Maggie Award<\/a>\u00a0(named after Sanger) to politicians, celebrities, and journalists who defend abortion. Awardees all spoke about the honor of receiving an award named after Sanger.

Sanger <a href=\"https:\/\/ia802607.us.archive.org\/1\/items\/margaretsangerau1938sang\/margaretsangerau1938sang.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke<\/a> to the Ku Klux Klan, and launched what she referred to as her &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyu.edu\/projects\/sanger\/articles\/bc_or_race_control.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Negro Project<\/a>,&#8221; in which she exploitatively used Black community leaders such as ministers and physicians to promote her vision of birth control among minorities. She said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>We don\u2019t want the 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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sanger&#8217;s approach still seems to be in use today; Planned Parenthood still uses\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-suspicion-black-genocide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black men and women in leadership positions<\/a> to assuage the Black community&#8217;s decades-long cultural unease towards abortion as Black genocide. LaVerne Tolbert, a former Planned Parenthood board member, said she eventually realized she was recruited by the corporation <em>specifically because she was Black, and a pastor&#8217;s daughter\u2014<\/em>exactly the kind of person sought for Sanger&#8217;s Negro Project.<\/p>\n<p>The mind-blowing Life Dynamics documentary,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0eWxCRReTV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maafa 21<\/a>, also exposed how some of Sanger&#8217;s eugenicist cohorts advocated for secretly putting birth control into the drinking water in Black neighborhoods to prevent Black women from being able to conceive, and how Sanger argued in favor of forced sterilization for those deemed &#8220;unfit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This behavior lives on at Planned Parenthood; the abortion chain has been caught <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/keeping-margaret-sangers-vision-planned-parenthood-pressures-black-woman-sterilized\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressuring Black women to be sterilized<\/a>, and \u2014according to some sources\u2014places a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.protectingblacklife.org\/pp_targets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disproportionate number of its facilities<\/a> in Black neighborhoods. The corporation was also caught accepting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uKlrgTygLDg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racially-biased donations<\/a>\u00a0by phone,\u00a0which undercover callers requested to be specifically earmarked towards aborting Black babies.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/planned-parenthood-greater-new-york\/about\/news\/planned-parenthood-of-greater-new-york-announces-intent-to-remove-margaret-sangers-name-from-nyc-health-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its statement<\/a>, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York acknowledged Sanger&#8217;s racism. \u201cThe removal of Margaret Sanger\u2019s name from our building is both a necessary and overdue step to reckon with our legacy and acknowledge Planned Parenthood\u2019s contributions to historical reproductive harm within communities of color,\u201d Karen Seltzer, Board Chair for PPGNY, said. \u201cMargaret Sanger\u2019s concerns and advocacy for reproductive health have been clearly documented, but so too has her racist legacy. There is overwhelming evidence for Sanger\u2019s deep belief in eugenic ideology, which runs completely counter to our values at PPGNY. Removing her name is an important step toward representing who we are as an organization and who we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet these words are essentially meaningless. As Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) pointed out today in an emailed press release, until Planned Parenthood&#8217;s words are backed up with actions that <em>end<\/em> the dehumanization and oppression of innocent lives, they will remain empty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Planned Parenthood can rename a building, but it can\u2019t whitewash its eugenics roots,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Planned Parenthood can try to forget its founder\u2019s racist screeds, but it cannot escape the undeniable fact that it makes hundreds of millions of dollars each year by telling an ugly lie that certain lives are disposable and then disposing of them. Big abortion has always been, and will always be, in the business of violence and dehumanization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/?ref=br_rs\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a> for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned Parenthood of Greater New York is officially disavowing Margaret Sanger, its own founder, over her eugenic beliefs and activism, which have served as the bedrock of the corporation for 100 years.
