With increasing dogmatism on the far right, ideology that should have become extinct rears its ugly head. If we don’t stop this, a lot of innocent people will get hurt in the end.

I don’t think many people aware of the history of Planned Parenthood would argue Margaret Sanger didn’t advocate eugenics, including Planned Parenthood
https://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are/our-history
“Margaret Sanger’s racism and belief in eugenics are in direct opposition to Planned Parenthood’s mission. Planned Parenthood denounces Margaret Sanger’s belief in eugenics. Further, Planned Parenthood denounces the history and legacy of anti-Blackness in gynecology and the reproductive rights movement, and the mistreatment that continues against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color in this country.”
Turns out that an organization can engage in self reflection and change beliefs over a century
Don’t you dare say something like that, don’t you know that once you espouse a certain way of life it’s impossible to change yourself or your world view?
That’s how republicans work, so everything in the world must work this way as well!!

PP denied and justified Sanger’s ideas up until 3 years ago before that she was just allaying with the eugenics movement to further her goals.
Convincing undesirables that they shouldn’t have children sure seems to align with PP’s values. It seems PP just broadened their views to the “poors” and not just raced based.
Do you have a source for this?
PP finally removed Sanger’s name from Manhattan Health Center in 2020.
