Why do some people support such an evil organization, Planned Parenthood?

Question

At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the "black" and "yellow" peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood.

Sanger's other colleagues included avowed and sophisticated racists. One, Lothrop Stoddard, was a Harvard graduate and the author of The Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy. Stoddard was something of a Nazi enthusiast who described the eugenic practices of the Third Reich as "scientific" and "humanitarian." And Dr. Harry Laughlin, another Sanger associate and board member for her group, spoke of purifying America's human "breeding stock" and purging America's "bad strains."

an established, high-profile, well-funded organization with ample organizational and ideological support in high places of American society and government. Its statistics are accepted by major media and public health officials as "gospel"; its full-page ads appear in major newspapers; its spokespeople are called upon to give authoritative analyses of what America's family policies should be and to prescribe official answers that congressmen, state legislator and Supreme Court justices all accept as "social orthodoxy."

While Planned Parenthood's current apologists try to place some distance between the eugenics and birth control movements, history definitively says otherwise. The eugenic theme figured prominently in the Birth Control Review, which Sanger founded in 1917. She published such articles as "Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics" (June 1920), "The Eugenic Conscience" (February 1921), "The purpose of Eugenics" (December 1924), "Birth Control and Positive Eugenics" (July 1925), "Birth Control: The True Eugenics" (August 1928), and many others.

Answer 1

LOVE YOUR QUESTION! It may bring some awareness to some uninformed people, at least I hope so!!!
Answer is: people in general have no clue about what is going on in the real world, they are to busy being entertained, they are informed about what Britney Spears is doing on a daily basis, while at the same time "PLANNED PARENTHOOD", sounds like a good thing, as apposed to unplanned parenthood, on the surface so they go along with it.
I just find it hard to believe that people of color support an organization that is controlling the birth rates of their races.
I heard that over 50% of all abortions are on African- American women. That makes the rate about 300-400% greater than white woman (does this sound like an agenda or not?).
Glossy ads with smiling faces sell the continuing MURDER of our next generation.

Answer 2

Planned Parenthood has assisted people for years and is a very good organization in this country. It has helped millions of young girls struggling through lifes issues, it has gave options to those who felt lost and as if they had none. It has educated both women and men on contreception methods to help prevent thousands of preganancies. They offer affordable birth control choices such as condoms and pills to those that would have sex regardless if such things were avalible but are more prepared and careful because they are. They also have assisted women in adoption, some that would have gotten rid of their baby in violent measures if no other option was there. Yes they do give abortions, but it is not forced it is merely one choice out of many, and it is just that a choice, a freedom just like every american has the right to make.

Answer 3

Not possible dummy. Plan b cant cause miscarriages. Plan b only works for a 3 day pregnancy. Putting in a 1 week pregnant girls coffee will do nothing.

Answer 4

There is nothing evil about Planned Parenthood. When I was in college, poor and had no insurance, I couldn't afford a doctor's visit for birth control and necessary yearly exams. I turned to planned parenthood. They charged me what I could afford. Had they not been available to me, I would not have caught cancer of the cervix at an early stage avoiding possible death. People make the mistake of assuming that Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill. It's only a miniscule part of the services they provide: Fertility counseling, papsmears, pregnancy testing, blood testing, pre-natal care, birth control etc. Hence the name PLANNED Parenthood.

Answer 5

How do you see this tiny chunk of history applied to 21st century america? The fact is we have way too many pregnancies, and way too many of those are taken to term. If we hadn't had terminations since 1976, we'd have another 48 million people in America - and most of them would have been of breeding age by now. Can you imagine the pressure that would have put on our infrastructure?

Planned Parenthood deserve a medal - and more women should be encouraged to terminate their pregnancies. It should also be illegal to have more than one child per adult - so two kids per married couple. People who have three, four, five or more are just irresponsible and selfish.

Answer 6

It is better to prevent an unwanted pregnancy then to dump the baby in a garbage can like so many idiots do today! God bless the innocent that didn't ask to be born. abortion is not my choice but some people are not fit to be parents and they should be placed on permanent birth control.

Answer 7

As far as I see it, Planned Parenthood advocates choice for all women. Just because some people do not believe that abortion is right does not mean that they need to inflict their beliefs on others. If you are so vehemently against abortion then do not have one. Leave the rest of us alone.

Answer 8

I know how to surf the web. Try doing some research (I don't disagree with you on these folks) and writing from your own thought process. I'm sick of this cut and paste garbage.

Oh yeah, by "folks" I mean the guys he was talking about, not Planned Parenthood.

Answer 9

It's either Planned Parenthood or backrooms and dirty knives. Sometimes good things emerge from the bad...I would like to point out BMW and VW as prime examples of "evil" organizations that changed gears.

Answer 10

Before Planned Parenthood many women died from giving birth to large families.It took a woman to change that,and I thank her for caring.Don't believe everything you read.
