Yeah, okay. Maybe when you offer to adopt some of the too-damned-many children of color that languish in foster care we can start to have a conversation about how PP helps commit genocide in the Black community.

'Cause, know what? Most of the people I know who agree that Planned Parenthood exists to genocide the black community are white males on the far right. Trump voters who believe that the only racism that remains here in the US is against them, by you. They, all of them, think once-upon-a-time they didn't get a job or a place at Uni 'cause some black person bumped them off via affirmative action. And they're still pissed. And they don't give one blessed shit about whether or not access to abortion helps or hurts people of color.

Maybe consider some of the company you're keeping here with this piece.

Finally, if Sanger was such a racist, why did W.E.B. Du Bois sit on the board of the first Harlem PP center? Why did Dr. MLK, Jr. accept the Margaret Sanger Award & in a speech compare her work to his?

Sanger, throughout her life, actually opposed abortion, & hoped birth control would make it unnecessary. And, yes, I know she once addressed the KKK. That's because, like it or not, the Klan was huge in the 1920s & they had the organization to get her message out. Which is all she really cared about.
