Planned Parenthood's racism began with its founder
Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, spoke at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey and wrote about this experience in her 1938 autobiography. Her experience of meeting with the Klan is described on pages 366 and 367 of An Autobiography:
My letter of instruction told me what train to take, to walk from the station two blocks straight ahead, then two to the left. I would see a sedan parked in front of a restaurant. If I wished I could have ten minutes for a cup of coffee or bite to eat, because no supper would be served later . . .
After Sanger spoke at the rally, "A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York."
Margaret Sanger also helped to organize the Negro Project, whose main goal was to recruit charismatic black ministers who would encourage black women to practice birth control. Sanger wrote to Dr. Clarence Gamble, the infamous project's creator, "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 that idea out if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Planned Parenthood's racism and Lothrop Stoddard
When Planned Parenthood first began, it was known as the American Birth Control League. One of the prominent members of the board of the ABCL was Lothrop Stoddard. Stoddard was a known racist, as is shown in this excerpt from an article in Taki's Magazine (www.takimag.com):
One, Lothrop Stoddard, was a Harvard graduate and the author of The Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy… [His book] depicted a slowly increasing white race being overwhelmed by more rapidly increasing "colored" races. This was apparently so consonant with Sanger's views that she appointed him to the board of the Birth Control League, the forerunner of Planned Parenthood.
But, you may say, all of this concerns the 20th century. Is Planned Parenthood still racist? Well, let's look at that.
Planned Parenthood is caught red-handed in racism investigation!
In the summer of 2007, UCLA's pro-life student newspaper, The Advocate, investigated Planned Parenthood and caught employees accepting donations from a student posing as a racist donor, who stated that he would donate money specifically for aborting black babies in order to "lower the number of blacks in America." The Planned Parenthood employees did not have a problem accepting any of these donations.
Planned Parenthood of Idaho's director of development was caught on tape admitting that she was "excited" to have a donor request this type of donation.
The undercover "donor" said, "The abortion—I can give money specifically for a black baby, that would be the purpose?" Autumn Kersey responded, "Absolutely. If you wanted to designate that your gift be used to help an African-American woman in need, then we would certainly make sure that the gift was earmarked for that purpose."

Planned Parenthood is building an abortion facility in an African-American neighborhood
We have reported on how pro-lifers in Portland, OR have been fighting to prevent Planned Parenthood from building an abortion facility next to a Muslim prayer center at 3701 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, located in a predominantly African-American neighborhood.
The group, Precious Children of Portland, has been working very hard to educate the people in their community about Planned Parenthood by participating in regularly scheduled protests and starting a new web site. The following statement is on the Precious Children of Portland's web site:
Planned Parenthood wants to move and enlarge their headquarters and abortion center from an area in southeast Portland with a Black population of about 1% and place it in the King neighborhood that has a Black population of about 43%. Portland only has an overall population of about 6% Blacks. Planned Parenthood will reduce this number even more with their new facility.

Planned Parenthood is still using Martin Luther King, Jr.'s name, despite his niece's protest
Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., released a public statement demanding that Planned Parenthood stop using her uncle's reputation in a way that completely distorts what he represented. However, PP continues to keep the image and information on its web site. She said this in her statement:
Planned Parenthood is no stranger to deception. I know firsthand because prior to my abortion, a Planned Parenthood doctor told me that my baby was just a ‘blob of tissue,'" said Dr. King. "Now, Planned Parenthood lies by trying to imply that my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would somehow endorse the organization today. He most certainly would not.
Commercial shows abortion as the number one killer of African-Americans today
The Vitae Caring Foundation has created various pro-life commercials, including this one that states one of three black babies are aborted in our country. The Foundation describes itself as "an advertising campaign for life." It aims to "encourage a greater respect for human life, restore traditional values in our American culture, and reduce the number of abortions by using mass media education." To find out more about this organization, go to: www.vitaecaringfoundation.org.
Planned Parenthood runs the largest abortion chain in the United States.
LEARN works to educate African-Americans
The Life Education and Resource Network is an black pro-life organization dedicated to telling the truth about abortion's impact on the black community. One of their projects is the BlackGenocide.org web site, which states that 78 percent of Planned Parenthood's clinics in the U.S. are in minority communities. It also quotes from an article Margaret Sanger wrote in 1924, which compares eugenics to what a gardener does with plants:
How are we to breed a race of human thoroughbreds unless we follow the same plan? We must make this country into a garden for children instead of a disorderly back lot overrun with human weeds.
To find out more about the Black Genocide project, contact Pastor Clenard Howard Childress, Jr., founder of BlackGenocide.org, at Revchildress@verizon.net.
Planned Parenthood is still racist
It is very clear that Planned Parenthood is still racist today. This is one of the many horrible realities behind this disgusting organization. Margaret Sanger used the slogan "Birth control, to create a race of thoroughbreds." Sadly, PP promotes the same philosophy today. We must work together to defeat PP!
