We can understand history only in the context of the truth.<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you remember learning about Thanksgiving in elementary school? The happy pictures of Native Americans and Pilgrims sharing a fall feast warmed my little heart. But as I grew older, my teachers gave me a very different history lesson than the one I learned as a child.<\/p>\n

While I was shocked and saddened to hear about the injustices committed against the Native people, I was grateful to finally know the truth. Even though the truth\u00a0isn’t\u00a0always pretty, I\u2019d take it over a lie any day.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s my love of honest history which made it hard for me to swallow the lesson given by Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards.<\/p>\n

Richards gave some advice tied in with a history lesson in a post-Election Day\u00a0interview<\/a>\u00a0with the Huffington Post<\/em>. It\u2019s obvious that Cecile was excited that her choice for president won the election. Planned Parenthood invested lots of money in celebrity-endorsed\u00a0videos<\/a>\u00a0and marketing campaigns to support Obama. After the Democrats won, Cecile thought she\u2019d dispense some words for the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

In essence, she urged Republicans to get back to our \u201croots\u201d by supporting family planning. She\u00a0told<\/a> the Huffington Post<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Back in the olden days, the Republican Party was the party that supported people’s individual rights and keeping government out of personal health care decisions, so I think there’s a history they can go back to. A lot of Republicans used to support family planning, and Richard Nixon signed that first federal planning program into law. There’s a clear pathway to [win back women’s support], and it’s to listen to the middle of their party instead of the extreme fringe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since I like history, I thought I\u2019d do some reading on the life of former Republican President Richard Nixon. I found out that Cecile was right about his strong stand for family planning.<\/p>\n

The Huffington Post<\/em>\u00a0reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Indeed, back in the 1970s and 1980s, Republicans supported family planning initiatives and took a softer stance on abortion rights. Nixon was so enthusiastic about a federal family planning initiative for low-income women that he declared it a ‘national goal’ in 1969 before signing Title X into law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nixon was so\u00a0enthusiastic\u00a0about a federal family planning\u00a0initiative that he declared it a national goal. Reading that alone could make some assume that Nixon was genuinely concerned about the plight of poor, and mostly that of minority women. Richards considers Nixon such an \u201cinspiration” that she also mentioned him in a Feb 10, 2011 Huffington Post<\/em> article titled, “Don’t Let Them Kill Family Planning!” In it Cecile shared\u00a0these<\/a>\u00a0thoughts:<\/p>\n

Richard Nixon may not be the first name most people associate with women\u2019s health and reproductive rights. But as House Republicans ramp up their unprecedented assault on women this week, I\u2019m starting to think of the Nixon era as an age of enlightenment. The Title X Family Planning program, which Nixon signed into law in 1970, is one of this country\u2019s great achievements in public health and social justice. Clinics funded through Title X now prevent nearly a million unintended pregnancies every year. They save women\u2019s lives through cancer screening, immunization and blood-pressure testing. Publicly supported family planning even saves the government money \u2014 $3.74 for every dollar invested.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I don\u2019t agree with her statement about Nixon\u2019s era as an age of enlightenment, I will say my eyes were opened in a new way after reading about our former president.<\/p>\n

Cecile Richards’ history lesson is far from the whole truth. (Photo credit: CarlB104 on Flickr)<\/p><\/div>\n

In 1970, Nixon signed into law the Title X Family Planning Program. In 1973, Roe v. Wade<\/em> was decided by the Supreme Court. Also in 1973, Nixon recorded audio tapes of conversations between him and members of his staff. The tapes, along with 140,000 pages of domestic records, 45 video oral histories, and 2,500 pages of once-classified national security materials, were later released.<\/p>\n

As the Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0reports<\/a>, the tapes revealed Nixon\u2019s private feelings towards blacks, Jews, and other ethnic groups. In an excerpt from the article:<\/p>\n

During another conversation with his personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, Nixon expresses doubt about the opinion of William P. Rogers, his secretary of state, about blacks.<\/p>\n

‘Bill Rogers has got somewhat – and to his credit it’s a decent feeling – but somewhat, sort of, a sort of blind spot on the black thing because he’s been in New York,’ Nixon said. ‘He says, well, “They are coming along, and that after all, they are going to strengthen our country in the end because they are strong physically and some of them are smart.”‘<\/p>\n

‘My own view is I think he’s right if you’re talking in terms of 500 years,’ Nixon said. ‘I think it’s wrong if you’re talking in terms of 50 years. What has to happen is they have to be, frankly, inbred. And, you just, that’s the only thing that’s going to do it, Rose.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nixon\u2019s racist viewpoints heard through his audio recordings have now become public knowledge. The documentary\u00a0Maafa 21<\/a><\/em>\u00a0shares a series of conversations Nixon had in 1972-73 dealing with low-income minorities and their children. You can watch the\u00a0clip<\/a>\u00a0on YouTube or read the words I transcribed.<\/p>\n

White House tape 697\/29 March 30, 1972<\/span><\/p>\n

Nixon: A majority of people in Colorado voted for abortion, I think a majority of people in Michigan are for abortion, I think in both cases, well certainly in Michigan they will vote for it because they think that what\u2019s going to be aborted are the little black bastards.<\/p>\n

White House tape 700\/10- April 3, 1972<\/span><\/p>\n

Nixon: As I told you, we talked about it earlier – that a hell of a lot of people want to control the negro bastards.<\/p>\n

White House tape 700\/10- April 3, 1972<\/span><\/p>\n

Nixon: And you know what we\u2019re talking about – population control.<\/p>\n

Unidentifed Staff: Sure.<\/p>\n

Nixon: We\u2019re talking really – and what John Rockefeller really realizes, look the people in what we call our class controls – their populations. Sometimes they\u2019ll have a family of six, or seven, or eight or nine, but it\u2019s the exception.<\/p>\n

Unidentifed Staff: Sure.<\/p>\n

Nixon: People who don\u2019t control their families are people in – the people that shouldn\u2019t have kids. Now that\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n

Unidentified Staff: The black population in the city of San Francisco has gone from 3,000 – right after World War II – to where they represent 30 percent of the population of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Nixon: What?<\/p>\n

Unidentified Staff: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0take a rocket scientist to see that Nixon, like Rockefeller, was part of a wealthy elitist group that bought into the lies of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. It seems that Nixon\u2019s enthusiasm towards \u201cfamily planning\u201d was just a guise to further support the eugenics-driven agenda of Planned Parenthood. Nixon, like<\/a> Supreme Court justice Ruth Badger Ginsberg, admitted that he saw abortion as a means to controlling a population whose growth he feared.<\/p>\n

Ryan Bomberger, founder of Too Many Aborted,\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0about the Cecile\/Nixon connection:<\/p>\n

Richards was a history major at Brown University. Certainly she\u2019s aware of the easily discoverable and irrefutable historical facts surrounding Nixon and his racist advocacy of Population Control. But like Sanger and hundreds of other eugenists, she willfully divorces herself from the truth in order to press forward in her crusade to exalt the culture of birth control. These public audio recordings (revealed in Maafa21 and online for all to hear) show the vile racism with which this disgraced former President viewed black people. His solution to the problem of the ‘negro black bastards’ was to systematically eliminate them through birth control\/abortion. By signing the Population Research and Family Planning Act of 1970 into law, Nixon solidified the government\u2019s embrace of the eugenics movement backed by billions of tax dollars since the Title-X funding legislation passed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is this the history Cecile believes Republicans should get back to? Is Nixon someone we should seek to emulate? I for one won\u2019t be following in his footsteps. The truth is that this tragic history of eugenics-motivated family planning has continued to repeat itself for forty years. Nixon\u2019s agenda and Richards’ are one and the same. Cover it with pink paint or spin it with celebrity endorsements if you will, but the agenda of Planned Parenthood\u00a0hasn’t\u00a0changed.<\/p>\n

If I want to get back to the \u201croots\u201d of the Republican Party, I\u2019d much rather follow the example of leaders in the mid-1800s who championed the anti-slavery movement. The\u00a0Republican\u00a0Party was once known for its commitment to abolishing\u00a0slavery and fighting for the dignity and rights of black Americans. If I’m looking to taking advice from someone, I’d rather it be leaders who fought to save the lives of my people rather than\u00a0destroy\u00a0them. If I\u2019m looking for an accurate history lesson, it won\u2019t be from Cecile Richards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
