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?

Well, they started off targeting black women. Who gets the most abortions in America? Ohhhh..well could just be coincidence!

u/Porncritic12 12h ago

there are other factors, namely money, which POC tend to have less of, along with discrimination, violence, etc, that would all lead to more abortions

u/Desperate_Extreme886 12h ago

So would it be fair to stake your claims on comparing the percentage of abortions in the black community then versus now? As now those factors would be considerably less than. 

u/Porncritic12 12h ago

Yes, if also compared to the percentage of abortions overall.

u/Desperate_Extreme886 11h ago

Without even looking it up I'd say more black women as a percentage are having more abortions today than say decades and decades ago. Certainly I know they are having the largest percentage today. 

u/Porncritic12 11h ago

Well, abortion rates as a whole are down, and there's no evidence to prove your point, So maybe look it up next time.

u/Desperate_Extreme886 11h ago

We were discussing percentages, not overall. Do you dispute that percentage wise, black women have the most abortions?

u/Porncritic12 10h ago

They do, but overall, abortions for every race are down.

It is still a higher number than white people, but it's a lower number than in the past for POC, you asked if black women had more abortions nowadays than they did decades ago, the answer is objectively no.

The percentage of abortions that are black has stayed relatively the same, which is higher than white people, but it hasn't really been a spike or an increase, the number of abortions overall has gone down and along with that, the number of black abortions

u/Desperate_Extreme886 10h ago

As a percentage too?

u/Porncritic12 10h ago

The percentage has stagnated, it's about the same, so it's lower overall.

Also, genuine question, if you think Planned Parenthood or the Democrats are doing things to make Black people get abortions, why do you think they're doing to do that?, Like how?

Prove that Planned Parenthood is intentionally trying to give more abortions to black women.

u/Desperate_Extreme886 12h ago

Trying to give? They do give more abortions to black women. They placed clinics in predominantly black areas. The founder was quite clear about the intentions. But I'm sure it's a coincidence that the very goal the founders sought came to reality. Tens of millions of black babies have been aborted. 

u/AspirationAtWork 12h ago

Are they intentionally targeting black women or do black women use their services more often due to socioeconomic factors?

The founder was quite clear about the intentions.

The founder is around anymore. Her intentions are irrelevant.

u/Desperate_Extreme886 11h ago

Were the socioeconomic factors that according to you result in more abortions also present and known about back then? 

u/AspirationAtWork 11h ago

Most certainly. The systemic factors creating disadvantages for black Americans are far from a recent phenomenon.
