I did. It supports my claim that she opposed abortion. The highly editied bolded section in your pertains to the state of mind of people who resort to abortion and infanticide, not her sanction of either practice. I'll find the undisected portion in context.

In your entire excerpt it's clear that Sanger opposed abortion. In fact this was her main point to promote contraception and sexual education. This in stark contrast to many others of her time quoted further down in your post, who advocated not only abortion, but mandated and forced abortion .... including I'll point out, many men.

Sanger looks good by comparison. Thanks for the post. Where did you find this?

The problem is that those later quotes, advocating forced abortions, were printed in a periodical owned and edited by Sanger.

If she had been so very opposed to abortion, why did she repeatedly publish articles calling for its legalization and coercion?

Sanger was only opposed to abortion for medical reasons. She was pragmatic; it hurt women because medical science had not yet advanced (still hasn't) to the point that abortions were safe.

However, there is absolutely no evidence that she had any philosophical opposition to abortion whatsoever.

Where did you find this?

There are many websites devoted to exposing Planned Parenthood's history and roots in Sanger's eugenics obsession. Sanger's quotes are easily found via internet searches.
