Five Myths Planned Parenthood Tells About its Founder, Margaret Sanger


By Susan Michelle-Hanson
Live Action News


To accept Planned Parenthood’s account of its founder, Margaret Sanger, is to believe that a pioneering hero came on the scene and saved all of female humanity from a terrible fate of poverty and the bondage of childbirth. In reality, Sanger’s impact on women has been nothing short of devastating, no matter which way the abortion corporation likes to spin the rhetoric of its founder. 

A fact sheet heralds Sanger as a “trailblazer in the fight for reproductive rights” and a “hero.” Planned Parenthood claims Sanger was “[m]otivated by a deeply held compassion for the women and children whose homes she visited around the world,” because she “believed that universal access to birth control would result in several benefits.”

While those benefits sounds good on the surface, they are actually a mythical representation of what Planned Parenthood does approximately 900 times per day on average: kill preborn children. Taking a closer look at the contrast between the abortion giant’s spin on Sanger versus the reality of Sanger reveals the truth behind a few of those mythical assertions.

1. The Myth:

Planned Parenthood hails Sanger’s work to “[r]educe the need for abortion — a common and dangerous method of family planning in her time.”

The Truth:

Planned Parenthood’s work has actually increased abortion. In fact, since 1970, Planned Parenthood has killed over seven million babies. And as Live Action has shown, contrary to Planned Parenthood’s assertion that only three percent of its services are abortion, the truth is, Planned Parenthood does more abortions than any other single organization in the country, and has cornered about 35 percent of the abortion market.

In fact, Planned Parenthood has gone so far as to reward its affiliates who meet “abortion quotas.” And as Live Action News has reported, the abortion corporation itself has admitted to celebrating an increase in abortion services.

Awarding an increase in abortion visits is hardly a reflection of the claim that Sanger helped to “reduce the need for abortion.”
