As long as we have to tolerate Reagan's grinning visage everywhere, a few images of Margaret Sanger are no big deal.

So she wasn't perfect? Nobody is.

She did help found Planned Parenthood, and that fact alone is enough to keep her in the National Portrait Gallery.

The good she did far outweighs any bad.

I don't think she founded PP just to "exterminate" black people. She really believed that women should have control over their reproductive systems. This article is SO slanted...

Our PP state affiliate (now PP of Southern New England to include Rhode Island) was founded by Estelle Griswold, who was important in the fight to FINALLY get the Supreme Court to rule on legalization of contraceptives in Griswold v. Connecticut, and was the basis for Roe v. Wade. The site of the clinic that was closed by police because they were dispensing diaphragms (against CT law) is one of the places I take newcomers on my "tour of New Haven's famous places." That clinic has moved several times since then and now operates a bifurcated building to literally separate the gynecological clinic and the clinic that provides abortion care. The people who claim that the funding is commingled are totally WRONG. When I was seeking major gifts I had to make that clear to donors for tax deduction purposes. The abortion side was NOT funded by government money. Period.

And it's interesting. It's good to hear the inside details from one who has been there!

That would be my guess, based on my fundraising background.

Cruz would have her bust replaced with Hitler or Stalin. Two men he can identify with.

She may have made the trains run on time and broken a few eggs, but Margaret Sanger was an unreconstructed bigot who devoted her life to getting rid of minorities. Feet of ckay and all that.

There is Stalin's Volunteer Photoshop Legion, who wants to get rid of any reference to our party's founder, Andrew Jackson, and any southerner from the past. You made this bed. Explain why this is different.

This scholarly article shows how Sanger was influenced by the times in which she lived. It gives a balanced view of her shortcomings, but illustrates that she was also
forward-thinking. The author goes into the how and why of her racial biases which were common at that time, even espoused by Teddy Roosevelt!

Excerpt: ". . . since anti-choice fanatics seem utterly incapable of making an honest argument in support of their position that Black women should be forced into childbirth rather than permitted to make their own decisions about what to do with their bodies, they resort to lies, misinformation, and half-truths about Sanger and the organization she founded."
