Planned Parenthood of Greater New York announced Tuesday that they plan on removing founder Margaret Sanger’s name from a key clinic after acknowledging Sanger’s legacy of supporting eugenics and racism and as part of an effort to reckon with the organization’s history.
Pro-life groups have long pointed out that Sanger’s purpose in founding Planned Parenthood was to encourage communities of color and other “unfit” and “feeble-minded” groups to practice strict birth control — at least according to Sanger’s own writings, which are widely available.
