OPINION:
I seriously wonder how many of the people screaming in the streets about the recent Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade really know what they are doing. Have any of them read the history behind Planned Parenthood? Do any of them know that Margaret Sanger’s sole purpose in founding it was to eradicate the Black population?
Sanger was clear about the aim of her organization, as she regarded all Black people to be of a lower class and of no importance in the world she wanted to create. It was never about women’s rights; it was always about eugenics. Since one could not go out and just kill Black people wherever they were, her plan was simple: Kill them in the womb and reduce the Black population.
Clearly, those who think abortion is a good thing have no thought about the fact that the majority of abortions are done on Black women.
There has to be a better answer because ignorance is no justification for supporting an organization such as Planned Parenthood. We have the resources to support unplanned pregnancies; now we need the will.
