But in their so called "Fact Check" they left out several quotes that would have informed the debate. This is a deliberate attempt by NPR to "frame" the issue and it's a breech of journalistic ethics to not report these quotes. Wouldn't want the audience to see the real Margaret Sanger.
"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," she said, Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon
"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)
NPR providing cover for the hive.
The government should not be in the news business. Defund NPR.
NPR Ethics Handbook
Completeness
We do our best to report thoroughly and tell stories comprehensively. We won’t always have enough time or space in one story to say everything we would like or quote everyone we would wish to include. But errors of omission and partial truths can inflict great damage on our credibility, and stories delivered without the context to fully understand them are incomplete...
If Carson is right, who gets sued out of existence, Planned Parenthood? The United States?? Both???
Reparations? What happens here?
But, Reverby added, Sanger’s main argument was not eugenics — it was that “Sanger thought people should have the children they wanted.”
NPR trying to obfuscate for the eugenist Margaret Sanger and their practice. Too easy to look up to see otherwise.
More journalistic misdirection/malpractice/lies. Carson is already on the record saying these allegations are false. The left sure is comfortable speaking in the devil's tongue.
I'm almost tempted to enter the arena on this myself; but will hold back for now.
I hope Ben Carson keeps mentioning this because this is making some of those liberal cockroaches nervous.
The very fact that NPR is addressing (lying) this issue is proof enough that the facts of PP and black genocide are too big to ignore.
NPR can spin this all they want. But PP is a racist organization.
60% of PP are located in White neighborhood?
So why are there a disproportionate number, 40%, located in black neiborhoods?
OMG!!! Next, NPR will defend Hitler!
Margaret Sanger is to blacks what Hitler was to Jews. It’s taken several decades LONGER but her methods have been nearly ten times as effective.
I wish Dr. Carson well. I am sure that a very great number of low information voters have never been exposed to what Carson is saying, and he is doing them and the public at large a great favor.
There is a season
Spin spin spin
And a reason for their omissions
PP claims that 14% of its patients are black. That seems low given the disproportionate number of abortions performed on black women. I’d like to see someone fact check that number.
Also, the NPR writer cites a stat saying that 60% of abortion clinics are in majority white neighborhoods. I can think of several different ways that that stat could be misleading.
Planned Parenthood’s desperate dissembling about Margaret Sanger reads like old Nazis’ claims that the Schutzstaffel’s treatment of European Jews was misunderstood. Abortion is a sacrament to Satan; Dr. Carson has scored a direct hit and now the demons are fighting back.
Oh, I get it. There are “good” eugenics, and “bad” eugenics. Our eugenics are good eugenics and are enlightened... aimed at improving humanity and avoiding unhealthy babies. Your eugenics are bad eugenics and evil and bigoted and aimed at killing people who are different than you.
Yawn. Same old crap...
Take your cue from Donald Trump, Dr. Carson. Go after them with claws and teeth bared,and attack.
PP should be constantly hounded as the racist organization it was intended to be by its founder Margaret Sanger.
If they can hound the confederate flag out of existence, then why not PP?
