MANSFIELD — After decades of denial, America’s largest abortion provider admitted that its founder was a white supremist and eugenics advocate. Planned Parenthood finally ‘came clean’ after their admission except for one important detail, Planned Parenthood still targets babies in minority populations.
The organization recently wrote in a New York Times Op-Ed that Margaret Sanger, its founder, spoke to a women’s auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan at a rally in New Jersey to generate support for birth control.
Planned Parenthood also confessed Sanger endorsed the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1927 decision allowing states to sterilize people deemed ‘unfit’ without their consent and knowledge. The ruling led to the sterilization of tens of thousands of people in the twentieth century. The first human trials of the birth control pill were conducted with Sanger’s backing in Puerto Rico, where as many as 1,500 women were not told that the drug was experimental or that they might experience dangerous side effects.
Sadly, Planned Parenthood is still on the same course of killing generations of people with disabilities and Black, Latino, Asians and Indigenous peoples.
Black babies account for nearly thirty-six percent of abortions in the United States, despite only making up thirteen percent of the population.
On top of that, Planned Parenthood is currently fighting against anti-eugenic laws in multiple states.
Critics cast doubt on Planned Parenthood’s authenticity in decrying the organization’s overt racism, pointing out that it simultaneously advocates for the legal right to perform abortions motivated by the child’s sex, race, color, national origin, or disability.
Despite Planned Parenthood, the pro-life movement continues in North Central Ohio. The pregnancy crisis center Richland Pregnancy Services assists mothers and fathers in crisis. Activists and clergymen continue their efforts locally to do what they can to protect the sanctity of life.
