NPR has done a "fact check" on the claim that Margaret Sanger was a racist. Their conclusion was : No, not really.

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)

Defund PP. And NPR.

I should believe NPR? Get real.

the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research center, surveyed all known abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood clinics, in the U.S. (nearly 2,000) and found that 60 percent are in majority-white neighborhoods.

Another way to say this is that 40% of abortion centers are employed to service just 13% of the population. So, on a per capita basis, most of their assets target blacks.

Why is that percentage so disproportionately high?

All of which, even if there wasn’t more to the story (which there is), would be more than enough for NPR to smear anyone on the right as a racist. It’s not like they don’t hold up Robert Byrd-a former Grand Kleagle or something like that-as “the conscience of the Senate”, while looking for racist dog whistles in words like “macaca” from someone on the right. The pity of it is that we let them get away with it by apologetically rolling over and eccepting their premises.

Margaret Sanger was one of the most evil women of the 20th Century, if not THE most evil woman of the 20th Century. She was a Eugenicist who wanted to wipe out whole populations. For example, in this 12/10/1939 letter to Charles Gamble, founder of P&G, she discloses:

If you take a look at page 102 of the April, 1933 issue of the Birth Control Review (Sanger's Journal of her Birth Control League which, after the war, morphed into Planned Butcherhood) you will note an interesting article titled, Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need. The doctor was Dr. Ernst Rüdin. In case you're not familar, Dr. Ernst Rüdin was honored by Hitler as being the "pioneer of the racial-hygienic measures of the Third Reich." He was one of the collaborators of Margaret Sanger.

Sanger was a child of the sexual revolution 50 years before the sexual revolution was even conceived. She believed the birth of a child was a shame and a large family was a catastrophe:

Many, perhaps, will think it idle to go farther in demonstrating the immorality of large families, but since there is still an abundance of proof at hand, it may be offered for the sake of those who find difficulty in adjusting old-fashioned ideas to the facts. The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.

Margaret Sanger, Woman and the New Race, (New York: Eugenics Press, 1920), chapter 5.

(btw, if you click on the link, there's even worse to read in that book)

Here's another one from her 1926 "epic" Pivot of Civilization (available on the Web Archive:

And then there's this, from the February, 1919, edition of the Birth Control Review (available here):

What a quote: …seeking to assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit.

Propaganda.

Did that evil witch want ALL babies killed (regardless of colour)?

Yes, she did.

She didn’t believe in a woman’s right to choose. She was pro-death and anti-breeder.

Why must US taxpayer money fund DNC talking points?

Who would you believe? An organization that kills babies or a doctor that thrilled on making babies healthy and have a normal life? Need more be said?

Why are the taxpayers still paying for NPR? They have been caught using their “reporting” services and money to aid Democrat campaigns over and over again! Taxpayers are being forced to pay for their political advertisement posing as government news.

There are enough Leftist billionaires and trillionaires to fund an education operation like DOE, EPA, NPR and Planned Parenthood and all their other political activist groups. Also, illegals should be funded by the Dem’s billionaires, not our government under welfare. Let them use their own money in the effort to ruin America with invasion, socialism and globalism. They have the money to run their operations and cut government spending at the same time.

I would have been shocked if NPR did not come out with a story finding Sager totally saintly.

I have one question for NPR doesn’t the fact that Margret Sanger had no problem Talking about Eugenics with the KLU-Klux-Klan. say something about her and what she saw abortion as being for.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

NPR is racist. They’ll lie about anything.

[kalee]

Nothing about speaking to women Klan members either.

“It was condescending, pseudo-intellectual, paid for by the taxpayers and used to get Democrats elected. At least when I listen to Rush, I’m not getting 1800FLOWERS talking points.”

Was NPR Started To ‘Control’ The US Population?

[rockinqsranch]

This blatantly false presentation by Ms. Kelly, and NPR doesn’t surprise me from some other recent readings.

[jwalsh07]

NPR is as useless as Media Matters.

[Texas Eagle]

Interesting defense. Exonerate her by conceding everything she engaged in.

[Democratic-Republican]

I love this part which naturally escapes the geniuses at NPR ...

"Did Sanger have a connection to Nazi Germany?

Not that NPR found. Sanger herself wrote in 1939 that she had joined the Anti-Nazi Committee "and gave money, my name and any influence I had with writers and others, to combat Hitler's rise to power in Germany.""

"Rise to Power"? Too late Maggie. I wonder at what point she woke up: annual massive rallies of lockstepping jackboots, Austria, Munich, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, Stalin pact, Poland?

'Hey, at least I said something before France fell! Can't you give me a medal or something.'
