That Gay Thread

[Huggy Bear]

Knowing what I know of the history of birth control, and having access to the full letter, this wasn't the mask slipping and Sanger revealing her master  plan. It was suggesting that they get preachers to nip that idea in the bud if/when people see the whole "providing birth control to black people" thing as being tantamount to mass murder. Knowing that even to this day, some people see birth control as tantamount to murder, and seeing that COVID is still a scourge partially because some people are convinced that the vaccine is an evil plot, I have zero problem believing this is a plausible explanation.

You do know that it is a fact that Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist, what do you that entails?

The President of Planned parenthood wrote an OpEd distancing the organization from Margaret Sanger.
I’m the Head of Planned Parenthood. We’re Done Making Excuses for Our Founder.  We must reckon with Margaret Sanger’s association with white supremacist groups and eugenics.

Up until now, Planned Parenthood has failed to own the impact of our founder’s actions. We have defended Sanger as a protector of bodily autonomy and self-determination, while excusing her association with white supremacist groups and eugenics as an unfortunate “product of her time.” Until recently, we have hidden behind the assertion that her beliefs were the norm for people of her class and era, always being sure to name her work alongside that of W.E.B. Dubois and other Black freedom fighters. But the facts are complicated.

And the first step is making Margaret Sanger less prominent in our present and future. The Planned Parent Federation of America has already renamed awards previously given in her honor, and Planned Parenthood of Greater New York renamed its Manhattan health center in 2020. Other independently managed affiliates may choose to follow.
