This past Tuesday, Planned Parenthood announce the launch their “99 Dream Keepers” project to honor 99 African Americans who have given “strength and inspiration” to the women rights movement as part of its 2015 commemoration of Black History Month – one honoree for every year since Planned Parenthood was founded by notorious eugenicist Margaret Sanger in 1916.
Left out of the celebration is this grim statistic.
Among the many contributions Planned Parenthood has made to African American history is the abortion of 13 million black babies since the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States – an abortion rate that is four times higher than that of white Americans over the same period.
Writing for Truth Revolt.org, commentator Bradford Thomas notes that in one part of their Dream Keeper’s tribute, Planned Parenthood talks about “break[ing] down barriers to opportunity posed by poverty, racism, and sexism” in what has been “complicated” history regarding the black community”.
Some may read this as a reference to Sanger’s eugenics campaign to “purify” the race as outlined in her provocative 1922 book “Woman, Morality, and Birth Control” where she writes:
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
