Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY) announced Tuesday that it will remove the name of Margaret Sanger, who founded the national organization, because of her racist legacy and her connections to the eugenics movement.
Planned Parenthood's Manhattan Margaret Sanger Health Center will be renamed, and city officials are also working to rename the nearby “Margaret Sanger Square.” The organization said the new name would be announced soon.
Sanger, who was a nurse, established the first birth control clinic in the U.S., which would eventually become the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
The PPGNY said the decision came out of "a public commitment to reckon with its founder’s harmful connections to the eugenics movement."
Eugenics is a discredited, racist theory that states that the human race can be "improved" through selective breeding of those with "desirable" traits. The theory often pin-pointed poor people, people of color, those with disabilities and other marginalized groups.
The organization said in a statement that the renaming of the building was an "overdue step" to acknowledge the legacy of Planned Parenthood's harm to communities of color.

This is when the Pro Life Protesters should march out front with Support Margaret Sanger and Planned Extinction signs.
They have removed the name, but still continue to do her unholy work.
Just as Margaret Sanger wanted!
Her name is gone, but her spirit remains.
Members of the Socialist Democrat Party trying to ‘un-write’ their EVIL history!
They’re doing a good job of it; they’re getting away with it.
*SPIT*
I never thought I would live to see this day.
Hillary must be devastated. She’s one of her idols.
I would like to see a Pro-Life group give an annual “Margaret Sanger award” to the abortion clinic that kills the most black people each year.
It might provoke some thought.
After the BLM (burn, loot, murder) marxist fiasco takeover of the past few weeks, PP has garnered many new supporters that were never supporters before. Un-intended consequences.
They waited about 40 years too late to make me a believer in their sincerity.
Exactly!
Yep. But the fact they’re trying to scrub her name shows the impact conservatives have made in linking her with planned murderhood.
Will any of the left wing fools understand what a mission statement is? PP’s mission remains the same even if they disavow the founder. Do blacks ever wonder why their US population remains at 12 to 13 percent while other groups are growing?
If you’re married to your work, and it divorces you, can you collect alimony?
This is from Kanye’s recent work against PP.
It never mattered how many white people said about it.
Next comes the Democrat party for slavery, the KKK, Wilson and segregation, Jackson and killing indians, the Klan bake, and that is just getting up to 1930.
That’s ridiculous
Look at all the good that came from her..../s
