Margaret Sanger, founding and conceptual light of Planned Parenthood and the Eugenics movement in the US--and the person Hitler credited with inspiring his eugenics programme--was a racist and classist bigot, who thought to use the technology of the time and emerging technologies to rid the nation of "human weeds" (her words)
But we all know that Planned Parenthood is actually about empowering women, and women's reproductive rights.
Except maybe for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who told the New York Times "Frankly, I had thought at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations we didn't want to have too many of.
So it seems that the skewed demographics of abortion in this country are not simply an artifact, but the continuation of an unspoken policy dating back to Ms. Sanger, that people of color, and the poor, should be removed from the gene pool.
And Justice Ginsburg simply made the assumption that that was the purpose of the decision.
Evil. And with the mendacity of PP, an evil that they can deny and mislead people about.
Come to think of it--all the PP volunteers I met and knew, were white, middle class college women. But when I went to the Pro-life March, there were entire black congregations an board.

Well, SHE SAID it. It's out there now, and being a Justice gives it that much more weight.
