"Black babies are being denied their fundamental right to live and it's time to find out why the people who profit from abortion in this country seem to be targeting African Americans."

I’m certainly no fan of Sanger but she gets a bad rap in the “race” department. I have seen numerous things attributed to her that were never in her writings.

Again, she was a fundamentally flawed, pseudo-intellectual, liberal even by today’s standards but she is not the, “exterminate the black race” monster she is painted as. I found her writings to be far less racist than many newspaper articles of the same period.

Before I am accused of defending Sanger, let me say that I am not. I share none of her views on abortion nor a host of other issues. I’m simply defending facts. Painful as it was, I read her works. A great deal of what is written about her from certain pro-life activists simply is not accurate.

In one of Margaret Sanger's early books, she advocated birth control policies to eliminate, BLACKS, CATHOLICS, and INDIANS (native Americans) from the US Population (i.e., cause their extinction).

However, people like Jesse Jackson have been the pawn of the Abortion Industry...
