33 of Margaret Sanger’s Planned Parenthood Abortion clinics will no longer kill unborn babies at these sites, but countless others continue to operate, shamefully targeting poor and African American communities to advance their eugenics agenda.

Statements by Margaret Sanger with Dates
-1919: On Limiting “Unfit” Reproduction
Quote: “More children from the fit, less from the unfit—that is the chief issue of birth control.” (The Birth Control Review, May 1919)
Context: Published in Sanger’s journal, this statement prioritizes reproduction among “fit” (often white, wealthy) groups while discouraging it among the “unfit” (poor, disabled, minorities).
Critique: This dehumanizes unborn human beings labeled unfit, laying the groundwork for abortion as a tool to eliminate them.

Quote: “The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.” (The Pivot of Civilization, 1921)
Context: Sanger endorses “negative eugenics” to prevent reproduction among those she deemed defective (disabled, poor, minorities).

1922: On Sterilization for the “Unfit”

Context: Sanger frames birth control and sterilization as eugenic tools to improve society by limiting certain populations.
Critique: This dehumanizes unborn lives deemed undesirable, setting the stage for abortion to eliminate them.

Context: Sanger equates birth control with eugenics, aiming to prevent births of those she labeled defective.
Critique: This dehumanizes unborn human beings deemed unfit, endorsing their elimination through practices that led to abortion.
