Margaret Sanger - Planned Parenthood's Founding Mother a Eugenicist
I took this shot of LaShawn Barber yesterday at the Blogs4Life Conference. Isn't she beautiful? Beautiful and authentic. A former aide to a Democrat congressman during Clinton's impeachment, she began questioning the untenable positions of her party and ultimately became a conservative. To top it off, she finally became a Christian!
As she noted at the Blogs4Life conference yesterday, as a conservative Christian black woman, she is in a unique position to address the tremendous wrong of abortion in the black community. These black congregations who support Democrats and Planned Parenthood are actually complicit in the genocide here in the U.S. of their race.
Yesterday at TownHall LaShawn published Marching for Life Against the Negro Project. Here is an excerpt:
In 1916, Sanger founded the Birth Control League, the forerunner of Planned Parenthood. She appointed a man named Lothrop Stoddard, a Nazi sympathizer, fellow eugenicist and author of The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy to the Board of Directors. At some point, after Adolph Hitler’s atrocities against the Jews became known, Sanger changed the league’s name to Planned Parenthood, because “birth control” was too closely associated with eugenics.More controversial is Sanger’s “Negro Project,” devised in 1939. The eugenicist set out to implicate black ministers and doctors in her efforts to spread her message of contraception, sterilization, and abortion in the black community. “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it occurs to any of their more rebellious members,” she wrote.
People in poorer areas, particularly the South, were producing “alarmingly more than their share” of babies. Sanger was able to enlist black men such as W.E.B. Dubois and Dr. Adam Clayton Powell (a minister) to her cause. Even Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a part to play. In 1966, he received an award from Planned Parenthood, writing, “There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts.”
Margaret Sanger’s project worked better than she could have hoped. Not only do black women have abortions at higher rates, a solid 90 percent of black voters shamelessly cast ballots for the Democratic Party, an unabashed supporter of Planned Parenthood.. . . .
Sanger would be very proud of what her modest Birth Control League has become.
Strange that the party that claims to be for the oppressed and the defenseless spends most of its energy defending the right of individual women - confused and helpless themselves - to murder the most defenseless and innocent of all. But it is more strange that the party that has successfully misrepresented itself as the friend of black people continues to sell them down the river.
Stranger still that the mainstream media made a hero of Margaret Sanger when she should have been a cause of white repentance. Lord, have mercy on all of us - poor and confused sinners that we continue to be!

Wow! What intersting information on this issue. Thank you so much for sharing it. And Praise the Lord for Women like Miss Barber! The problem now is that we need to find people willing to adopt the AA children. We are in the process of doing this ourselves and I praise the Lord that the mothers of our future chidlren choose life for them. Their is also another fellow blogger that has had some thoughts on this. http://www.james127.blogspot.com/ So it is happening but not too quickly.

Seems to me Miss/Mrs.? Barber is uniquely placed by God in our culture, much as Esther was, for our society as a whole and black people in particular. I am energized to learn about her and spent great deal of time last night absorbing her blog. THANK you Barbara for the introduction.

I had to laugh - yes she is beautiful - because I always though Lashawn Barber was male. Learn something every day!
