The founder and her quotes about races and the mentaly ill

"Sanger also entertained some popular ideas of her own time that are out of keeping with our thinking today. Finding it easier to undermine her character than to confront the message she conveyed, the anti-family planning movement has seized upon some of these ideas, taken them out of context, and exaggerated and distorted them in order to discredit Sanger and the organization she founded"

They are not proud of her other views so they deny she said them or that they are being distorted.  Well, considering the statistics, it seems that the organization she founded is carrying out today just what she indeed believed.

Today 35% of all abortion clients are African American when they are make up about 13% of the population (seem odd to you)? 4 ½ more times likely than white women to have an abortion. And women who are found to be pregnant with a deformed child or one that will likely have a mental illness, is encouraged to end the pregnancy.

Read her quotes below that Planned Parenthood claims are distortions.

  1. i read the article linked to this entry. it says that some of the quotes sanger is accused of saying didn't come from her at all and listed the person who did say it & an article to read to back that up. i totally disagree w/ abortion. i went to planned parenting when i first took my preg. test so they could confirm it b/c i had no insurance. the lady there ask me if i wanted pamplets on other options & i told her no, i was keeping my baby.

  2. ~cont~ so she advised me of medicare. i think in sanger's day & age that some of her views fit that time era. i'm sure she made quotes & remarks that are questionable today. i can't say why 35% of abortion clients are african american w/out doing research. but it may be b/c of the economy, they are less likely to have insurance & means to get birth control? abortion is wrong no matter who the founder was. the Bible says "thou shalt not kill". that covers everyone,even unborn children

  3. I know what the other website said, that is why I felt it fair to post it along side with the other ones.
