Then why bring it up???As for the attitudes of Marget Sanger, that has been very highly misrepresented. We could say that it is a lie.Cain's False Attack on Planned Parenthood - FactCheck.orgMind you, some of her ideas are outdated, but this is what she said.

quote:

---

We who advocate Birth Control, on the other hand, lay all our emphasis upon stopping not only the reproduction of the unfit but upon stopping all reproduction when there is not economic means of providing proper care for those who are born in health. The eugenist also believes that a woman should bear as many healthy children as possible as a duty to the state.

​

We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right, regardless of all other considerations, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother.

75 Percent of Clinics in Black Neighborhoods?

​

Cain also claimed that 75 percent of [clinics] were built in the black community. But we found no evidence that that was true in Sanger’s time, and it’s not true today.

​

Sanger’s first clinic, opened in 1916, was in Brooklyn in a neighborhood called Brownsville, which was 80 percent to 85 percent Jewish in 1910 and 1920, according to author Wendell E. Pritchett’s Brownsville, Brooklyn: Blacks, Jews & the Changing Face of the Ghetto. Cathy Moran Hajo writes that the neighborhood was populated largely by Italians and Eastern European Jews in Birth Control on Main Street: Organizing Clinics in the United States, 1916-1939. She says that Sanger didn’t choose to open her first clinic in Harlem, where infant and mother mortality rates were similar to those of Brownsville.

​

In fact, early birth control clinics didn’t welcome black women with open arms, Hajo writes: In the 1920s and early 1930s, African Americans had far more limited access to birth control than did white women. Not only did many clinics discriminate against black women, but the regions with the largest black populations had fewer clinics.

​

Sanger opened a clinic in Harlem in 1930, and, as mentioned, the Negro Project began in the late 1930s.

​

That doesn’t support Cain’s implication that Sanger’s objective was to put these centers in primarily black communities, or that 75 percent of clinics were in such neighborhoods. It should also be noted that these early clinics were focused on providing birth control, and Sanger herself warned of the dangers of abortion. While there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization, she wrote in her 1920 book Woman and the New Race.

​

Cain’s claim also isn’t true today. Tait Sye, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood, told us in an email that 73% of Planned Parenthood health centers are located in rural or medically underserved areas. Not all of those would be predominately black communities.

​

Also, the Guttmacher Institute reported this year that 9 percent of abortion clinics in the U.S. are in neighborhoods in which 50 percent or more of the residents are black. That’s according to the group’s census of all known abortion providers.
