Planned Parenthood to remove Margaret Sanger's name from center over 'racist legacy'
The Hill ^ | 07 21 2020 | J. Edward Moreno

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.

Say it loud, proud, and often.

They can change their name to Auschwitz of Greater New York, or Auschwitz on the Hudson.

they can remove her name but what they do is still very much in line with what Margaret Sanger wanted, in other words PP is still very much trying to kill certain races and types of people, though they will kill any baby and at times even the mom.

“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...”

“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. “

The new name will be “Hypocrites-are-US!

“In New York City, thousands more black babies are aborted each year than born alive.”
