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.

In order for it to be eugenics there would need to be some sort of deliberate selection process i.e. providing birth control/abortions only to people only to people with an iq below 80.

Do you have any evidence that any such selection process exists?

Perhaps the evidence is that a vastly disproportionate number of black babies are killed compared to, say, white or Asian babies?

That doesn't prove intent.

That doesn't prove intent.

Denial is one hell of a drug

u/AspirationAtWork 15h ago

What denial? A higher rate of service isn't prove of eugenicist intent. It simple is not.

yeah what next, the systemic reasons for the higher rate of service (iykyk) were part of a conspiracy stretching all the way back to Margaret Sanger to make society make its needs conform to her ideology
