Margarat Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, once stated that her whole life was devoted to birth control. I cannot imagine anyone caring that much about keeping babies from being born, but evidently this was her mission in life. Perhaps she felt that there would be less poverty if families were kept smaller , but it’s more likely that she did not believe all persons deserve to have the opportunity to live. I read that her Mother had 18 pregnancies…..maybe this had an influence on her thinking. Personally, I would bet that she did not believe that man was created in the image of God and even though she used to be a Catholic, she probably did not believe in a Creator at all. My guess would be that she was a believer in evolution and the theories of Charles Darwin. How else could she have come to the conclusions that she did?
Margarat Sanger has been praised by some, and held in high regard amongst women’s groups and liberal politicians. Considering how Ms. Sanger encouraged abortions especially in Black communities, and knowing her connections with the KKK, I find it curious that so many black pastors and politicians sing her praises. In 1966 the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. remarked about Sanger: ‘There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. . . . Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her.”
