komen drops planned parenthood

Planned Parenthood was formed to kill black babies. Period. They can romanticize it all they want and make that witch Sanger a hero but the fact remains she was a racist and a supporter of eugenics.

No different than a Nazi yet she's a hero? Why? Population control. Don't need generations of successful Americans...we need immigrants that will work for slave labor.

See through the bulls.hit. We're being played by scumbags.

Many of these attacks against Sanger are based on articles published by the Birth Control Review after she stopped editing it. If one is going to say she was still responsible for the content, one must also be willing to agree that Ron Paul is responsible for the racist things written in his newsletter, which he was in control of and from which he derived profit.

That said, Henry Ford praised Hitler, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, Al Jolson peformed in blackface, blah blah blah ad infinitum. People are all products of their times. In the 1920's, eugenics was cutting-edge science- the DNA research of its day, if you will. It seems ridiculous today, but hey, in the 19th century, doctors actually believed that educating a woman would shrink her reproductive organs. So, progress changes what we understand to be true. And Sanger likewise eventually abandoned eugenics. In 1919, she said:

"Eugenists imply or insist that a woman’s first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that is is her right, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother . . . Only upon a free, self-determining motherhood can rest any unshakable structure of racial betterment. (Source: The Birth Control Review, February 1919)"

She was a product of her time. And at that time, eugenics was cutting-edge science, and the majority of whites believed science proved they were the superior race. But to say Sanger's interpretation of eugenics is the same as the Nazi's is ridiculous. In fact, her books were some of the first burned by the Nazis- probably because she believed control of women's fertility should reside with the woman herself, and not with the state.

(For that matter, Sanger also opposed abortion, because she believed life began at conception. Wonder how that tidbit sits with the right-wingers who like to scream about her. )

Komen's brand is ruined. They are done. They haven't even officially promised to refund Planned Parenthood in the future, if you read the "We're sorry, continue to give us money" press release. They will be around as a small, unimportant small charity in the future.

It's sad, but they allowed their brand to be taken over by political agenda anti-abortion activists and their trust ruined.

Their brand will remain strong. More people are waking up to the eugenics/self-hate/overpopulation hoax.

She doesn't think her religious crusade is wrong. Her owners will continue paying her.
