planned parenthood & founder history

When you hear in the news about abortion clinics most of the time they are referring to Planned Parenthood. It is the largest Abortion Clinic in America and a very strong pushing force for pro-abortion policies. But what do most Americana's know about Planned Parenthood and it's history.

In doing research on this subject I was flooded with articles & web-sites about Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. There is so much out there about her that I had a hard time narrowing it down. I've included a number of quotes & sites below that you can click on for more info. Or do your own google search.

1.
Margaret Sanger was a radical supporter of the eugenic movement. She advocated for a superior race that was free of the poor, immigrants, & minority citizens. She even spoke at a Ku Klux Klan rally. Among many other quotes from Margaret Sanger herself that can be found on this web-site http://www.dianedew.com/sanger.htm are these that stuck out to me.


"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)


On blacks, immigrants and indigents:
"...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people

On sterilization & racial purification:
Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.

Margaret Sanger aligned herself with the eugenicists whose ideology prevailed in the early 20th century. Eugenicists strongly espoused racial supremacy and “purity,” particularly of the “Aryan” race. Eugenicists hoped to purify the bloodlines and improve the race by encouraging the “fit” to reproduce and the “unfit” to restrict their reproduction. They sought to contain the “inferior” races through segregation, sterilization, birth control and abortion.

"Now, I have to tell you that it was a great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award. I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision. … I am really in awe of her. …. Yet we know that Margaret Sanger's work here in the United States and certainly across our globe is not done."

Very scary words coming from our countries Secretary of State. What does she mean by the words "Margaret Sanger's work here is not done.".......

You must understand the basic underlying philosophies that drive Planned Parenthood's work. These are contained in Humanist Manifesto II. Although many at Planned Parenthood will deny that they spread this doctrine, a number of the leaders of the organization are either signers of the document or have received awards for spreading its philosophies. Among these leaders are:
Margaret Sanger (founder of PP) - Humanist of the Year 1957
Albert Ellis (member PP leadership committee) - Humanist of the Year 1971
Alan Guttmacher (president of PP) - Signer of Humanist Manifesto II 1973
Mary Calderone (medical director of PP) - Humanist of the Year 1974
Betty Friedan (member PP leadership committee) - Humanist of the Year 1975
