Sanger isn't above reproach. I just prefer to not countenance reproaches that aren't based in reality.
For instance, here's an example.
Good reproach: Margaret Sanger held some eugenicist views, and that's shitty.
Bad Reproach: Margaret Sanger held some shitty eugenicist views, and because of that, Planned Parenthood as a whole is automatically a white supremacist organisation, regardless of whether or not their activities in recent years actually act on said founder's eugenicist views. Even if they've announced that they're distancing herself from her specifically because of said views.
