"I just didn’t think it would happen to me," she says. "I was drugged and raped." The narrator then says, "Under Mayor Sarah Palin, women like Gretchen were forced to pay up to $1200 for the emergency exams used to prosecute their attackers." But a Planned Parenthood spokesman told PolitiFact that Gretchen was not from Wasilla, the Alaska town that sought reimbursement for rape exams, and had not been assaulted there.

A three-week-old Internet campaign is asking abortion-rights activists to send donations to Planned Parenthood in honor of the Alaska governor. The origin of the campaign is unknown and Planned Parenthood officials insist it is not their doing. Palin is a staunch abortion- rights opponent.

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, summed up the purpose of her organization with this statement: "More children from the fit, less from the unfit." It sounds like something out of Nazi Germany, like eugenics or creating a master race. Sanger founded the American Birth Control League in 1923, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.
