Has Planned Parenthood Cancelled Margaret Sanger? Business Removes Her Name from Manhatten Location By: Brittany Raymer Is Margaret Sanger’s legacy about to go down in flames? It seems so as Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY), one of the abortion business’ largest affiliates, officially removed Sanger’s name from its Manhattan clinic. This development was stunning since the organization has spent years defending Sanger and her work. Margaret Sanger was a believer in the eugenic philosophy that only certain people are worthy of having children. Those considered unworthy of life or producing life included individuals with disabilities, criminal records, and other hereditary health problems. Over the years, Planned Parenthood has worked hard to minimize this reality of Sanger’s philosophy, but finally the organization has seemingly come to terms with its despicable founder. “The removal of Margaret Sanger’s name from our building is both a necessary and overdue step to reckon with our legacy and acknowledge Planned Parenthood’s contributions to historical reproductive harm within communities of color,” Karen Seltzer, the chair of the New York affiliate’s board, said in a statement. “Margaret Sanger’s concerns and advocacy for reproductive health have been clearly documented, but so too has her racist legacy.” For more articles, follow The Daily Citizen on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube! |
