Planned Parenthood Of New York: We’re Cancelling Margaret Sanger For Supporting Eugenicshttps://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2020/07/21/planned-parenthood-new-york-cancelling-margaret-sanger-supporting-eugenics/... It took them 100 years to steer around to the position that eugenics is so shameful that an adherent of it isn’t fit to be honored. Maybe by 2120 they’ll get around to taking a second look at abortion.
“The removal of Margaret Sanger’s name from our building is both a necessary and overdue step to reckon with our legacy and acknowledge Planned Parenthood’s contributions to historical reproductive harm within communities of color,†Karen Seltzer, the chair of the New York affiliate’s board, said in a statement.
The group is also talking to city leaders about replacing Ms. Sanger’s name on a street sign that has hung near its offices on Bleecker Street for more than two decades…
[PPNY chief equity and engagement officer Merle] McGee said the group could not worry about how conservative figures might react to the move, which she described as a response to the concerns of patients and people of color…
“The biggest concern with Margaret Sanger is her public support for the eugenics medical philosophy which was rooted in racism, ableism and classism,†Ms. McGee said.
As the PP spokesmouth implied, Pro-Life people have been calling out Sanger's racism for decades. And "ableism and classism" are Prog-Blather. Sanger's racism was founded on Social Darwinism, a legacy of Darwin that has been set aside as unfashionable, not for being inconsistent with or disproved by Darwinian or modern evolutionary theory.
