Margaret Sanger and Her Quest to Abort Black Babies
Liberal icon Margaret Sanger is being hailed as a feminist heroine by the American Pravda and by our public school system. In reality, this woman was a racist. Why do these leftists get away with rewriting history?
Read from the American Thinker:
Race-Targeted Abortion: Today's Greatest Civil Rights Challenge
Mike Keller
"Since its forced-legalization in 1973, more African-Americans have been killed by abortion than have died of AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and violent crime combined. One need not dig deep to see that this is not by accident.
Recent investigations have shown that Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading abortion provider, enthusiastically accept funds explicitly for the termination of African-American children. One recording demonstrates that when asked if funds can be given for abortion 'specifically for a black baby ... because I really face trouble with affirmative action, and I don't want my kids being disadvantaged against black kids,' Planned Parenthood's Vice-President responds, 'Oh, always, always. Absolutely!'
Faye Wattleton, the former Planned Parenthood National President, confirmed that 'we have received contributions from people who want to support us because they want all welfare mothers and all black women to stop having children.'
Because of these efforts, even though African-Americans comprise only 12% of the population, they account for 37% of abortions; an African-American baby is five times more likely to be aborted than a white child.
This is especially troubling considering Planned Parenthood's known history of racism. Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, published that
'"in virtually every community where Negroes dwell one finds them, in fat times and lean alike, contributing a disproportionate number to the rolls of dependents and delinquents. They make excessive demands on the white man's charity and over tax his patience."'
She lamented that 'we are paying for and even submitting to the dictates of an ever increasing unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.' Ms. Sanger was a celebrated speaker at Ku Klux Klan rallies, and personally appointed to her Board of Directors a noted white supremacist and Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan.
Planned Parenthood operates the largest chain of abortion clinics in the United States, with an estimated 80 percent strategically positioned in minority neighborhoods. A former clinic director recently revealed that they 'really wanted to increase the number of abortions;' they even have abortion quotas or a 'goal every month for abortion.'
The result is that abortion now kills more African-Americans every four days than the Ku Klux Klan killed in over 150 years. In fact, today abortion stands as the number one cause of death in the African-American community.
The disparate impact that Planned Parenthood continues to have on the African-American community is clear. As famed civil rights leader Dr. Alveda King recently stated,
'"Today the vast majority of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in minority neighborhoods. Are we really to believe that this is a coincidence ... or could it be that when we said that we would no longer sit on the back of the bus, a place was being reserved for us at the abortion clinic?"'
Planned Parenthood receives, on average, more than $380 million every year in taxpayer dollars from the federal government. The 'Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (H.R. 1822)' recently introduced in Congress would prohibit federal funding for organizations that accept money for the purpose of race-targeted abortions. Passing this bill is the necessary next step in defending the civil rights of our most vulnerable citizens."

I never ever heard about Margaret Sanger in any of the history courses I took in college for my history major, and I have never once mentioned her name in any of my classes in all my years of teaching American history. So I don't know where you got the mistaken notion that Margaret Sanger is a "liberal icon" or a "feminist heroine", Ms. MoreLies. Maybe in your own Religious Rightwingnut BizarroWorld, but not out here in the real world.
And the anecdotal "evidence" about the Planned Parenthood VP responding "Oh, always, always. Absolutely!" to a racist request? This nobody blogger tells a story without any attribution, and you accept it on sight? Are you nuts? Doesn't that whole story sound a little bit suspicious? I Googled it, and the only references on the web were to the American Thinker article and this very post, ms. MoreLies. So you're spreading a hearsay story without even attempting to verify its truth, Ms. MoreLies? No wonder you idolize NotSoBrightbart!
Diogenes, you teach history, not health/sex education.

Read what you posted, Ms. MoreLies. It's all ABOUT social studies standards in Texas, not health or sex education. And it advocates that kids SHOULD be taught about eugenics (presumably, the con side, not the pro side, if anyone would even have the nerve to suggest such a thing).
And your Religious Rightwingnut blogger buddy seems to be also in favor of including the discussion of eugenics.
So what's the issue now?

"Meet Mark Crutcher, the Man Behind 'Maafa 21'
By Frank N. Carlson
Appearing throughout the anti-abortion documentary Maafa 21 as an authority on Margaret Sanger and the history of Planned Parenthood is a bald, pink head belonging to one Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics, the company that produced the film. And that’s how he is identified in the film—“Mark Crutcher, President of Life Dynamics”—suggesting that being president of the company that produces a documentary is qualification enough to appear as a source in it.
According to Lisa Morris, spokeswoman for the Pro-Life Coalition of East Tennessee, Crutcher’s credentials are sound. “He’s very solid, very well-respected in the pro-life community and beyond,” she says. Asked what she means by “and beyond,” Morris says “I mean, he’s nationally known.” Morris says the information contained in the documentary Crutcher produced is legitimate, too. “There’s almost two to three minutes of credits,” Morris says. “And [Crutcher] said that it was over a three-year period that all of that was researched. So he’s done the research.” Yet according to Esther Katz, professor of history at New York University and editor of the Margaret Sanger Papers Project, Crutcher is unknown in academic circles.
“We have control of every document, in the sense that we know what’s in it, where it is, how many copies there are and what the context was that Sanger ever wrote,” Katz says. “He’s never been in touch with me that I know of. So I don’t know what research he might have done that would have given him these qualifications. I mean, every other major scholar that has written about Sanger has been in touch with me or one of her biographers or one of the archives, so I know what’s out there and who’s working on it.”
Crutcher’s reputation in anti-abortion circles fares far better than his reputation among academics. In 1992, he authored Firestorm: A Guerilla Strategy for Pro-Life America, a guide to setting up barriers to obtaining abortions without actually overturning Roe V. Wade. One method gained national media attention in 1996, when the New York Times and Time ran stories on Crutcher’s creation of a network of over 600 lawyers to sue abortion providers for malpractice, the ultimate goal being to drive insurance premiums so high that doctors would be forced out of business."
[continued]
"In more recent years, Crutcher has detailed his thoughts in a blog called “Mark’s Blog: Unique Perspectives on the Battle for Life.” In a November 2008 entry, just after the election victory of Barack Obama, Crutcher wrote, “Besides being a Marxist, Barak Obama [sic] is the most rabidly pro-abortion, morally defective and completely unqualified person to ever be given the keys to the Oval Office. This man is thoroughly evil and I have little doubt that we are likely entering into the most dangerous period in the history of our country.”
His criticism isn’t limited to Obama. After the murder of abortion-provider George Tiller by anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder, who is now serving a life sentence, Crutcher attacked the media for what he saw as consistent “hyperventilation” and unnecessary coverage of these crimes in the mid-90s: “Compared to the thousands of taxi drivers, convenience store employees, police officers, firefighters, and other workers who were killed during that time, it is obvious that all of this wailing and hand-wringing about violence against abortion providers is complete nonsense.”
Crutcher and Life Dynamics are also behind a number of “black genocide”-themed websites, including blackgenocide.com and klannedparenthood.com, which features a cartoon doctor wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood while holding a blood-soaked uterine currette, an instrument an abortion doctor would use. Under the website’s heading, it says, “Abortion! Because lynching is for amateurs.”
It’s difficult to find out more about Crutcher. Asked to comment for this article, he demanded a statement guaranteeing everything he said would be printed in its entirety, “with no editing”—a condition no print journalist can grant an interview subject. When told this wasn’t possible, he blamed the reporter for his being unable to participate, and said he would do what he needed to do to protect himself from the “dishonesty, the bias, and the incompetence that dominates the American media today.”

Hey, I found some more racist comments made by Margaret Sanger for you:
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: ...While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say, then, that I am not, nor have I ever been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say, in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race…. I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman, or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes and white men..."
Oh, wait....
That wasn't Margaret Sanger.
It was Abraham Lincoln.
Sometimes it's not overly appropriate to apply modern standards when assessing statements made in the distant past.
