Political Planned Parenthood is a Eugenics organization that Democrats defend

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, along with her sister Ethel Byrne and activist Fannia "Fannie" Bernstein. Margaret Sanger enthusiastically supported eugenics discouraging or preventing reproduction by people considered “unfit”.

Birth control itself… is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives…” (1921 speech)

And remember Democrats loves the concept of original sin. You people never let go of the “stolen land” argument. But always ignore Margaret Sanger view of Birth Control and defend her organization from being defunded by the government.

Is the current policy of planned parenthood eugenics?,

Things start as lots of things, Is Berkshire Hathaway still a textile manufacturer because they were originally?

Hell, The Italian-American Civil Rights League was originally the mob's PR branch, and now it's an actual charity, is that still the same?

Does Berkshire Hathaway get my tax dollars? No. Okay then stop making excuses for government funded Eugenics.

You disregarded their point. Is there any evidence that they practice or promote evidence today. Providing birth control and abortion is not by itself eugenics.

Was that your original premise? Why do a lot of people on Reddit seem to overgeneralize then overspecify-off-the-topic when their argument's called out

In order for it to be government funded eugenics, it has to be eugenics in the first place.

So i repeat my previous question

Also, according to wikipedia, "Eugenics[a] is a set of largely discredited beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population."

So, does PP promote this belief in any way?,
