Shock: More Black Babies Aborted Than Born Alive in New York

In the interest of accuracy, Margaret Sanger was an advocate of birth control but was an outspoken opponent of abortion except in the case of a mother's life being endangered.

She certainly was a racial eugenicist, which is bad enough; there is nothing to be gained by exaggerating the facts.

I was watching the tv show THE FIRST 48. A young black man had been shot. He left behind a child. The young black woman’s family referred to the dead young man as “the Baby Father”. The parents of the dead young man referred to the young woman as “The Baby Mother”. Not husband or wife or boyfriend or girlfriend. Interesting.

Hinckley, I have certainly read Margaret Sanger's words that she was opposed to abortion, but I am not sure whether to take them at face value.

Truly unsure.

I say this because as late as 1962, PP was marketing contraception as being "not abortion," because "abortion takes the life of a baby" --- while they were simultaneously lobbying for decriminalization of abortion, which they called "abortion reform."

As early as 1920, Sanger was simultaneously calling abortion "vicious and dangerous," AND defending it as women's ultimate weapon against unwanted childbearing:

“The only weapon that women have and the most uncivilized weapon that they have to use if they will not submit to having children every year or every year and a half, the weapon they use is abortion. . . . What does this mean? It means it is a very bad sign if women have to indulge in it, and it means they are absolutely determined that they cannot continue bringing children into the world that they cannot clothe, feed, and shelter. It is woman’s instinct, and she knows herself when she should and should not give birth to children, and it is just as natural to trust that instinct and to let her be the one to say and much more natural than it is to leave it to some unknown God for her to judge her by.”(MS, “Debate On Birth Control: First Speech,” Dec. 12, 1920 [MSM S76:0923 ].)

Then there's this, 1923:

"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publishing Co., 1923)

It's probably more accurate to say she was "inconsistent" or "ambivalent."

Sanger died in 1966.

You are wrong!

In her own words, Sanger advocated the right of a woman to abort for ANY reason!
