Planned Parenthood’s Racist Roots

Written by: Elizabeth

Herein you will find the visible evidences of Planned Parenthood’s racist and eugenic root system which was established by its founder, Margaret Sanger.  Its rooted tentacles embrace abortion, sterilization and birth control with the goal of controlling or minimizing populations which do not meet its eugenic guidelines.  Within the foundation of Margaret Sanger’s ideology is an insidious racist attitude towards minorities and a disdain for the poor including Caucasians as well as a mission to discourage charitable organizations from helping both the poor and the downtrodden. 

Our hearts grieve to report the racist comments and writings by Margaret Sanger, Francis Galton and others.  But unless the evil intents of their hearts, their words and their writings are exposed – people will continue to believe in their lies.


American Eugenics Society

 
In 1922 the American Eugenics Society (AES) was formed to promote eugenics in the United States.   The eugenics movement was already in motion but was officially established in 1922.


Eugenics literally means “well born” in Greek.  The Merriam Webster dictionary terms eugenics as “a science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or breed.”  

 

Francis Galton: “Father of Eugenics”

Francis Galton coined the term “eugenics”.  He was the first cousin to Charles Darwin.  In 1883 he is quoted “Eugenics is the study of the agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations either physically or mentally.”  Galton wrote many articles throughout his lifetime of which the majority were eugenic or racist in nature.  Below you will find two examples of his writings:

 

Galton: “Africa for the Chinese“

 
 

Positive Eugenics or Negative Eugenics

There are two classifications of eugenics.  They are positive eugenics and negative eugenics.

Positive eugenics encourages breeding or reproduction among the genetically advantaged.  Cloning the gene pool of a well educated, successful, and wealthy elitist is a perfect example of positive eugenics.  Surprisingly, both negative and positive eugenics can be very coercive at times.  Abortion by “fit” married women was illegal in both Nazi Germany as well as the Soviet Union during Stalin’s regime.  Remember, Hitler wanted a gene pool of “fit” blond haired, blue-eyed Aryan men and women.

Negative eugenics aggressively reduces fertility among the genetically disadvantaged.  The types of aggressive practices might include contraceptives, abortion, sterilization, and various other family planning methods.  An estimated 80% of Planned Parenthood’s clinics are strategically planted in low income communities where minority populations reside. 

 

Margaret Sanger
(1879–1966)

Margaret Sanger was a strong advocate of eugenics.  She launched and became the editor of the monthly periodical The Birth Control Review.  She also contributed articles to “The Call” a Socialist Party paper.  In 1921 she was the founder of the American Birth Control League which became the driving force behind the American Eugenics movement in which the Black African American race was the prime target.  A marriage of convenience was formed between Margaret Sanger and the wealth elitists within the American Eugenics Society.  Margaret Sanger’s eugenics movement needed the money.  The wealthy elitists who founded the American Eugenics Society needed someone on the ground level to do the dirty work.


Planned Parenthood: Historical Timeline

In 1921 Margaret Sanger founded the American Birth Control League (ABCL).  (It would eventually become Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1942 as it went through 2 separate transformations between 1921-1942.)  In 1923 Sanger formed the Clinical Research Bureau (CRB).  The CRB was the first legal birth control clinic in America.  It was operated by the American Birth Control League.  By 1924, the ABCL had established 27,500 members providing 10 branches in 8 states.  In June 1928, Margaret Sanger resigned as President of (ABCL) but took full control of the clinic (CRB).  She renamed it the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau (BCCRB).  In 1939 the ABCL & BCCRB merged.  Together they became the Birth Control Federal of America (BCFA).  Because of Hitler’s eugenics program, the eugenic leaders in America realized that a new image was necessary.  In 1942 BCFA was changed to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.  The concept of birth control was altered to family planning.  Yet the eugenics philosophy to sway the poor, inferior and feebleminded to have fewer babies continued. 

 

Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project”

In her December 10, 1939 letter to Clarence Gamble she wrote: “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want 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.”

Clarence Gamble became the heir of the well known Procter & Gamble soap company.  This same letter is retained by the Sophia Smith Collection, at Smith College.  Clarence Gamble was a staunch supporter of eugenics in America.  He was responsible for taking birth control worldwide.

On Boston’s Planned Parenthood’s building facade there is a plague dedicating Nicki Nichols Gamble, daughter-in-law of Clarence Gamble. 
In 1926 Margaret Sanger met with the Women’s Auxiliary of the KKK in Silver Lake, N.J.  “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose.  A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.” (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

 America’s Forced Sterilization


According to CFIF (Center for Individual Freedom) “In 1907, Indiana became the first state to pass a law permitting involuntary sterilizations on eugenic grounds; at least 30 states would follow suit”.

“By the mid-1920s, more than 3,000 people had been sterilized against their wills.  By 1979 an estimated 65,000 Americans experienced forced sterilization either against their will or without their full knowledge.”  Clearly Black African Americans who were poor or uneducated were primary targets of forced sterilization.  The poor white, minorities across all cultures and Indians were also targeted. 

In America, Harry Laughlin, was the Director of the Eugenics Record Office from 1910 to 1939.  He helped to craft the American Eugenics policy, specifically compulsory sterilization legislation.  Many of the individual states adopted a model “eugenical sterilization law,” which was crafted by the Eugenics Record Office’s Harry Laughlin.

The “eugenical sterilization law” called for compulsory sterilizations of the “socially inadequate.”  The “socially inadequate” might comprise poor black women, native Indians, uneducated women, young black girls some as young as 12 or 13 years of age, the disabled, the poor, orphans, the blind or deaf, those who might score low on IQ tests, homeless women or teens.  They were all diagnosed as being feebleminded or socially inadequate.

In 1933 the Reichstag of Nazi Germany passed the “Law for the Prevention of Hereditably Diseased Offspring“.  The law was based loosely on Laughlin’s model.  We now know that over 350,000 persons were sterilized by the German law.   In 1936 Harry Laughlin was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Heidelberg in Germany for his work in the “science of racial cleansing”.

 

Poor White Women

Poor white women and men were targets as well.   In 1924, Carrie Buck – became the first victim of Virginia’s newly installed eugenics law.  Carrie was a white teenager living in Charlotsville, Virgina.  Her mother had been admitted to an asylum for the epileptic and feeble-minded.  Carrie was placed in foster care.  Carrie Buck was accused of being promiscuous and having a child out-of-wedlock.  She was considered a parent of “socially inadequate offspring” and therefore the State of Virginia had her forcibly sterilized.  Later evidence would prove that Carrie was raped against her will. 

A lawsuit was filed on Carrie Buck’s behalf.  During the trial a deposition was submitted by Harry Laughlin condemning both Carrie Buck and her 7 year old child, Vivian, as unfit and backward although he never met or diagnosed either individual.  Scientists from ERO were also present to testify against Carrie.  The State of Virginia won their case.  In 1927 it was appealed.  Yet, in the landmark case Buck vs Bell, the US Supreme Court ruled 8-1 to uphold the sterilization of Carrie Buck on the grounds that she was considered to be a “deficient mother”.  Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes affirmed the constitutionality of Virginia’s sterilization law by declaring “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
 
Evidence much later would reveal that Carrie was raped against her will by the nephew of her foster parents.  The foster parents adopted Vivian who became an honor roll student by the age of seven.   Regretfully, Vivian would die at the tender age of eight due to an intestinal illness. 

 

Maafa 21

Maafa 21 is a documentary film, produced by Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics, a pro-life organization.  “The crucial issue is the Maafa may have begun when the first African was shackled in the bottom of a slave ship,” explained Crutcher, “but it did not end with slavery. It continues to this very moment.”

 

What Does Maafa 21 Mean?

In Swahili language, Maafa is a term for “great disaster”.  The number 21 refers to the 21st Century in history.  Abortion perpetuates Maafa into the 21st century as an ongoing eugenics program targeting minorities to self-inflict racial suicide or black genocide.

“Since 1973 legal abortion has killed more African Americans than AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and violent crime combined.  Every week more blacks die in American abortion clinics than were killed in the entire Vietnam war.  And the largest chain of abortion clinics in the U.S. are operated by Planned Parenthood.  Black Americans comprise only 12% of the overall population yet make up 37% of all abortions in America.  A black baby is 5x more likely to be aborted by its mother thereby making its mother’s womb the most dangerous place to live.”  (Maafa 21 film)

Who Funded &  Promoted Eugenics?

 

Bill Gates does not blush when he states that the world’s population needs to be reduced.  Today it’s Bill Gates who wants to reduce the world’s CO2 levels by reducing the world’s population.  He even mentions Death Panels as a solution to the world’s population.  The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is currently funding the development of a contraceptive microchip that can be remotely controlled to release hormones that can act as abortifacients into a woman’s body for up to 16 years.  His is targeting 3rd world countries where the poorest populations reside.  The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation continues to support eugenic programs with goals to foster economic growth by minimizing worldwide populations especially in third world countries which will ultimately improve mankind’s condition by providing more resources for those left standing.

Ted Turner, a pro-abortionist, also wants to depopulate the world in order to stop CO2 emissions.  Hal Lindsey, a well-known Christian evangelist and author, warns the Christian community of how the wealthy elitists want to decide who will live and who will die.

Most proponents today of eugenics programs are contributors to the Democratic Progressive platform in America which by itself is replete with legislators that are pro-abortion.   Also Emily’s List is primarily female legislators who support pro-abortion.  Hillary Clinton, pro-abortionist, was the keynote speaker at Emily’s 30th Anniversary.  Hillary Clinton has also been a recipient of the Margaret Sanger Award.  Many Christians continue to cast unrighteous ballots which support this candidate for office.

Eugenics was also supported by other famous, influential and wealthy individuals such as Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Homes and Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.   The list also includes Dr. Clarence Gamble, heir to the Procter and Gamble soap company fortune, John Harvey Kellogg (Kellogg cereal), John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Francis Darwin, Charles A. Lindbergh, Major Leonard Darwin, Vincent Astor, J.P. Morgan Jr., Cleveland H. and Cleveland E. Dodge, John Maynard Keynes, Bertrand Russell, Harry Laughlin, Alexander Graham Bell, botanist Luther Burbank, Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University; the novelist H. G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw.

Research was funded by well known philanthropy groups such as the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations.  Although the Cold Springs Harbor Institute was built to carry out eugenics research – these experiments also took place at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford and Johns Hopkins.  Eugenics became widely accepted over time.  Planned Parenthood at a later date would expand selective breeding to include abortion.  This is sad because on a per capita basis, minorities have the highest number of abortions in America.  Indeed, eugenics is alive and thriving in America.
