The legacy of Margaret Sanger’s vision for America suffered a minor setback on September 1, 2021, as the new Texas “Heartbeat Law” took effect with the blessing of the United States Supreme Court. The law severely limits the performance of abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
Black or African-Americans make up 13.6% (that is, less than 1/7) of the U.S. population (2020 census). However, 34.7% (that is, more than 1/3) of all aborted babies are Black or African-American.
Such disproportionate killing of Black and African-American babies by the American abortion industry is not coincidental. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and the results mentioned above are exactly what its founder, Margaret Sanger, wanted. A member of the New York Socialist party, she meant her abortion enterprise to suppress those she saw as “unfit,” and this to her included preventing an explosion of the Black population in the United States. This, I believe, is a major reason that, to this day, Planned Parenthood places clinics more heavily in areas with higher percentages of Black and African-American populations.
Of course, a certain amount of deception was needed, and Sanger recognized this from the beginning. Among other things, she sought to actively recruit of Black pastors as a means of gaining trust of Black people. “The minister’s work is also important and he should be trained,” said Sanger in 1939, “perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”1
There were other people in Sanger’s time who were fond of her vision. They were the Democrats, still angry over having lost the Civil War and furious about the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited slavery, recognized former slaves as U.S. citizens, and fully enfranchised former slaves with the vote. These Democrats supported Sanger in her vision, as did Democrat Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
More than 150 years after the abolition of slavery in the United States, nearly 60 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and more than 50 years after the last publication of the Green Book, Democrats still have not faltered in their century-long support for Planned Parenthood, or their admiration for Woodrow Wilson and FDR.
Today, as in years past, it is no mistake that Planned Parenthood kills far more Black and African-American babies than their proportion of the overall population. Planned Parenthood clinics appear to be specifically and strategically placed in areas with higher Black and African-American populations, and government funds are secured to help the genocide continue.
Unsurprisingly, therefore, white supremacists inside the Democratic Party are shocked at the threat to their precious ability to eliminate more than 100,000 pre-born Black and brown babies every year. Democrat lawmakers, Hollywood actors, left-wing media personalities, and others are today having a meltdown. Even the recently-woke GoDaddy hosting site got in on the action, giving the boot to a whistleblower site set up to facilitate the lawful implementation of the Texas law. Why? Because they are Democrats, the party of white supremacy. And they are losing their grip.
Comedian and left-wing activist Amy Schumer (a cousin to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer) was up in arms this week, linking to Planned Parenthood: “The newest Texas abortion ban, #SB8, gives politicians, neighbors, and even strangers the right to sue those who provide — or just help patients get — abortion after 6 wks. The time to fight for our reproductive health & rights is now!”
Leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) even called on her fellow Democrats to abolish the filibuster rule in order to protect Planned Parenthood with by enshrining Roe v. Wade in law without the need for a supermajority in the Senate, after the Supreme Court ruling allowing Texas to proceed. “Democrats can either abolish the filibuster and expand the Court,” said Ocasio-Cortez, “or do nothing as millions of peoples’ bodies, rights, and lives are sacrificed for far-right minority rule.”
In my own state of Virginia, the Party of the Old South, the Democrats, have been making a resurgence in recent years. Democrats currently control the House, the Senate, and the Governor’s office, and as usual they have been quick to excuse racists at the highest levels within their own ranks … of course their ranks would be greatly thinned if they did otherwise. Governor Ralph Northam, whose nickname in medical school was “Coonman,” was given a pass by his party for a yearbook photo (shown above) in which he seems to have appeared either dressed in blackface or a Klan robe at a party. At another time, Northam admitted to having worn blackface when dressing as Michael Jackson, but lamented the fact that shoe polish does not come off easily.
Northam, predictably, has also been one of the state’s premier defenders of Planned Parenthood and the most extreme positions regarding abortion. And his Party, the Virginia Democrats, have embraced the Texas abortion law as a major issue for the midterm election.
