The New Planned Parenthood Coalition




By Jim Sedlak
American Life League's STOPP International 


There are some things at which Planned Parenthood excels. One of those things is building coalitions with other minority groups to form impressive alliances. In the past, we have seen this kind of activity between Planned Parenthood and the Black leaders, as well as between Planned Parenthood and the homosexual activists.

When you think about these partnerships, they appear very unlikely. In the first case, one must remember that Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, invited on her original board of directors a man named T. Lothrop Stoddard. Mr. Stoddard was known at the time for a book he had written that was titled “The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy.” During the first three decades of its existence, Planned Parenthood published a number of articles in its Birth Control Reviewthat talked about the “Negro problem” and even launched the Negro Project in 1939 to reduce the number of Black children.

Part of Sanger’s genius was convincing Negro leaders that Negroes were poor because they had too many children. Sanger, a winner of the Humanist of the Year Award, believed man, not God, was in charge and that children were not a blessing from God, but a resource that had to be controlled for the betterment of society. She told Negro leaders that, if they would reduce family size, they would rise economically. Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the leaders who bought into this line of thinking and he accepted the Margaret Sanger Award in 1966. In his acceptance speech (read by his wife, as he couldn’t attend the presentation), he said, among other things:


For the Negro, therefore, intelligent guides of family planning are a profoundly important ingredient in his quest for security and a decent life. There are mountainous obstacles still separating Negroes from a normal existence. Yet one element in stabilizing his life would be an understanding of and easy access to the means to develop a family related in size to his community environment and to the income potential he can command.



 
The purpose of STOPP International is really quite simple. We intend to cause such discontent with Planned Parenthood programs that it will have no choice but to close its doors and get out of town! That doesn't seem like too much to ask of an organization that has been ruthlessly attacking our children for years-abusing them in the womb and in the classroom.  For more information, please use this link.
