Planned Parenthood normalizes deviancy

| September 8, 2015 7:00 AM

Recently a group of black pastors sent a letter to the director of Smithsonian Institute, asking that a bust of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger be removed from their exhibit — it sits between Martin L. King and Rosa Parks. 

“Perhaps the Gallery is unaware that Sanger supported black eugenics, a racist attitude toward black/other minority babies and regarded them as feeble minded (weeds to be exterminated). She spoke at rallies of KKK women and communicated with Hitler sympathizers. Her notorious Negro Project sought to limit, if not eliminate black births. Despite this history, her bust sits proudly in your gallery as a hero of justice.”
