Planned Parenthood has even launched an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/08\/22\/1195142490\/planned-parenthood-abortion-wisconsin-campaign-2024-gop-republican-trump-pence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ad campaign<\/a> \u200caimed at fighting abortion limits on the ballot in the 2024\u200d elections. Another tactic the\u200b Left has employed \u2063is to pair racial justice with abortion access, suggesting in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/05\/14\/1098306203\/abortion-is-also-about-racial-justice-experts-and-advocates-say\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">popular\u2063 articles<\/a> and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMp2209737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scientific studies<\/a> that\u200c those who care about the wellbeing\u2064 of racial minorities should \u200dvote \u2064for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-democrats-push-abortion-messaging-bills-in-preview-of-2024-strategy\/\" title=\"Senate Democrats are promoting abortion messaging bills as a preview of their 2024 strategy.\">pro-abortion measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The Truth About the Abortion Movement<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThe abortionists have accomplished what perhaps \u200d200 years of lynchings did \u200bnot do; destroying \u200ban\u2063 entire generation and crippling another.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mildred Jefferson, the \u2062first African American \u200dwoman\u2063 to \u200cgraduate from Harvard Medical School, would beg to differ. As she put\u2063 in a 1977 debate with Nicki\u2062 Nichols Gamble, the \u2064executive director of the Planned Parenthood League of\u200b Massachusetts:<\/p>\n<p>The truth that Dr. Jefferson understood and that younger generations need to\u2063 know is that the abortion movement was founded as a eugenics\u200b project. Eugenics is the\u2063 \u201cscience\u201d behind the idea \u2062that there is a hierarchical ordering of \u200dthe races, and it goes\u2063 hand-in-hand\u200b with some of the most unethical medical \u2062practices that are part of American history.<\/p>\n<p>Take the \u200ccase of J. Marion Sims. He has been called the father of modern gynecology. In\u200d recent\u200b years, however, he has been \u2063rightly \u2062called out because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/the-father-of-modern-gynecology-performed-shocking-experiments-on-slaves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his research<\/a> was conducted on enslaved black women without anesthesia. It took \u2062decades, but \u200dthe truth finally\u2063 came out.<\/p>\n<p>Today, in the midst of our abortion debates, Gen\u200d Z also needs to know the truth \u200babout Planned \u200dParenthood.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being presented as a compassionate progressive leader, Margaret Sanger,\u200c the founder of Planned \u200cParenthood, was also\u2064 a\u200d vicious racist. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/south-carolina-to-become-latest-state-to-pass-heartbeat-bill\/\" title=\"South Carolina to Become Latest State to Pass Heartbeat Bill\">pro-abortion advocates<\/a> have defended her for years as a product of her time \u200d(the same defense used with Sims), the\u2064 truth is\u200c that\u2063 Sanger was a radical, even \u200bfor 1930s America. Indeed, her purpose \u2064in founding \u2064Planned Parenthood and her mission in life was to\u2062 destroy the black race. As she wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/libex.smith.edu\/omeka\/files\/original\/d6358bc3053c93183295bf2df1c0c931.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1939 letter to\u200b Clarence Gamble<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u200d don\u2019t \u2062want word to \u200cgo out that we want\u200b to exterminate the Negro population, and the \u2063 [African American] minister\u200b is the man who can straighten out that\u200d idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Clarence Gamble \u2064spent his life\u2064 and family \u200bfortune promoting eugenics. He passed his \u2062beliefs \u2064on \u2063to his son Richard\u200d Gamble, as well as \u2062his son\u2019s wife, \u200cthe aforementioned Nicki Nichols Gamble who debated Dr. Jefferson in 1977 and was even so bold as to suggest on air that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-we-must-expose-planned-parenthoods-racist-roots\/\" title=\"Exposing Planned Parenthood's Racist Origins: A Necessity\">abortion helps low-income \u2064women<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Then,\u200d and\u2062 for the rest \u200bof\u200c her life,\u200d Dr. Jefferson stood up to the racist \u2064abortionists targeting her community and fought tenaciously for the \u2063lives of black babies. She went on\u200c to help form and lead Massachusetts Citizens for \u2063Life and found the Right to Life Crusade, Inc. She is \u200ba hero, deserves her place in history,\u2063 and most importantly, needs to \u200dbe remembered today.<\/p>\n<p>Public pressure for change can make a difference. In 2018, for instance, the \u2063New York City Public Design Commission voted unanimously to remove Sims\u2019 statue \u2063from its\u2064 prominent location \u2064in\u2063 Central Park. Likewise, in 2020 Planned \u2063Parenthood \u2062of \u2064Greater New York \u2064removed Margaret Sanger\u2019s name from its building.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, the business of Sanger\u2019s Planned Parenthood \u2014 \u201cexterminate[ing] the Negro population\u201d\u2014 continues. In\u200b 2016, more black babies were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/lets-talk-about-the-black-abortion-rate-1531263697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed by abortion<\/a> than were born in New York City. \u200dThis is no accident, \u200bof course.<\/p>\n<p>Ramona Trevi\u00f1o, a former manager of a Planned Parenthood clinic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/249604\/reversing-roe-hispanic-pro-life-leader-ramona-trevino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> \u200c in 2021 that her former employer targets\u200d Hispanics and African Americans. Indeed, at \u2064a director\u2019s meeting, she even \u200ddiscovered Planned Parenthood has \u200babortion quotas.<\/p>\n<p>So, simply removing Sanger\u2019s\u200d name from the\u200d building is\u2064 insufficient. Dr. Jefferson wouldn\u2019t have been satisfied by the Left\u2019s attempts to \u200derase history. And \u2062we shouldn\u2019t \u2062be \u200beither.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI am at once a physician, a citizen \u2064and a woman, and I am not willing to stand aside and allow this concept\u2062 of expendable human lives to turn this great land \u2062of ours into just another\u200b exclusive reservation where only the perfect, \u200bthe privileged and the planned have the right to \u2064live.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is \u200dtime for America to put an\u200b end to Sanger\u2019s institution of eugenics. It\u2063 won\u2019t\u200b be easy \u2014 Planned \u200cParenthood is a well-funded\u200d force. But it wasn\u2019t \u2063easy for Mildred\u200c Jefferson \u2063either.<\/p>\n<p>As legislation on abortion continues to be on the\u200b ballot in statehouses across the counties, those \u200cwho fight for life would do\u200c well to remember her example. Although the Left may label\u200c standing up for life as racist, fascist, right-wing extremism, \u200cthe truth \u2064is that \u2063it\u2019s simply the right \u2063thing to do.<\/p>\n<p><em>Raychel Namiotka\u2064 is a Digital Workplace Analyst for Information Technology at The Heritage Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are those\u2064 of the \u2063author and do not necessarily\u2063 represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE \u2063DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since Dobbs, the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling, the abortion debate in America has shifted.
