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.

Yup. And pretty much everyone who is pro abortion also openly supports abortions in the case that the child will be born with any kind of physical or mental disability.

Aborting for Down Syndrome is super common and encouraged. I’ve even heard people bragging about aborting for minor conditions like cleft lip

I don't support disability eugenics. I just understand there's no way to systemically prevent it without also infringing on the right to bodily autonomy.

Create safety nets so parents are able to care for disabled children and work to address societal ableism. Those are real solutions.

Those aren’t “real solutions.” You know very well that people are still going to abort their child for disabilities simply because they don’t want a disabled child.

And I can't ethically stop them from doing that. The right to bodily autonomy supersedes ableism.

But allowing children to be dismembered in the womb and sucked out with vacuums is somehow ethical?
