I wonder if, in 1966, MLK and his wife could envision that 'birth control' would become abortion - or if they were even aware of Sanger's real ideological motives.

From your link to the planned parenthood website:

"1966

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sparked the conscience of the nation as he courageously and selflessly gave direction to the early civil rights movement in the United States. Resisting bigotry, inspiring women and men worldwide, and advancing social justice and human dignity, he also lent his eloquent voice to the cause of worldwide voluntary family planning. Both he and Margaret Sanger challenged unjust laws, cruel social customs, and blind prejudice that still hold people in ignorance, poverty, and despair. Mrs. Coretta Scott King delivered her husband’s acceptance speech on his behalf, saying, “There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. … Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by non-violent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her."

It looks like the planned parenthood web site is about to be subject to some serious “editing”. ;-)

mmmm....given the documented, umm , dalliances, there’s a strong possibilty he availed himself of such services to preserve his public persona.
