A sad day, in my mind. Worth remembering that the founder, Margaret Sanger. was a racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic. Her positions are voluminously illustrated in her own writings. Here's just one example:
"[We propose to] hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." [2]
Nasty stuff.
