Getting ripped in the replies
It may not be the case anymore, but the early history of abortion in America 100% had a racist bent to it

Planned Parenthood told James O'Keefe he could specify that his donation be used to abort black babies.

I love how the left idolizes PP when it was founded by a woman who was the eugenics queen, but we have to tear down the Washington Monument because George had some slaves.

The most difficult thing in a black persons life is actually being born today.

The Left of today would absolutely despise MLK.

Talk about appropriating a culture that you wish to eliminate.

I guess that's why MLK / Coretta King accepted The Margaret Sanger Award presented to them by Planned Parenthood.

You know Sanger didn’t say that right???

She wasn’t, but the narrative that she had t out for black people specifically over other minorities, isn’t accurate.
And again, she never said that. Can we agree on that?

She was a huge proponent of Eugenics and yes, she felt he need to limit births of black people
At the time, values were very different than they are today.

“Did Margaret Sanger believe in eugenics?
Yes, but not in the way Carson implied.
Eugenics was a discipline, championed by prominent scientists but now widely debunked, that promoted "good" breeding and aimed to prevent "poor" breeding. The idea was that the human race could be bettered through encouraging people with traits like intelligence, hard work, cleanliness (thought to be genetic) to reproduce. Eugenics was taken to its horrifying extreme during the Holocaust, through forced sterilizations and breeding experiments.
In the United States, eugenics intersected with the birth control movement in the 1920s, and Sanger reportedly spoke at eugenics conferences. She also talked about birth control being used to facilitate "the process of weeding out the unfit [and] of preventing the birth of defectives."
Historians seem to disagree on just how involved in the eugenics movement she was. Some contend her involvement was for political reasons — to win support for birth control.
In reading her papers, it is clear Sanger had bought into the movement. She once wrote that "consequences of breeding from stock lacking human vitality always will give us social problems and perpetuate institutions of charity and crime."
"That Sanger was enamored and supported some eugenicists' ideas is certainly true," said Susan Reverby, a health care historian and professor at Wellesley College. But, Reverby added, Sanger's main argument was not eugenics — it was that "Sanger thought people should have the children they wanted."
It was a radical idea for the time.
Sanger wrote about this mission herself in 1921: "The almost universal demand for practical education in Birth Control is one of the most hopeful signs that the masses themselves today possess the divine spark of regeneration."
Was Sanger "not particularly enamored with black people"?
Sanger's birth control movement did have support in black neighborhoods, beginning in the '20s when there were leagues in Harlem started by African-Americans. Sanger also worked closely with NAACP founder W.E.B. DuBois on a "Negro Project," which she viewed as a way to get safe contraception to African-Americans.
In 1946, Sanger wrote about the importance of giving "Negro" parents a choice in how many children they would have.
"The Negro race has reached a place in its history when every possible effort should be made to have every Negro child count as a valuable contribution to the future of America," she wrote. "Negro parents, like all parents, must create the next generation from strength, not from weakness; from health, not from despair."
Her attitude toward African-Americans can certainly be viewed as paternalistic, but there is no evidence she subscribed to the more racist ideas of the time or that she coerced black women into using birth control. In fact, for her time, as the Washington Post noted, "she would likely be considered to have advanced views on race relations."

Planned Parenthood from 1939 until 1973 claimed that abortion was ending a life.
Back in 1966 they were advocating Birth Control/Contraception which King supported and did so in many speeches
King opposed abortion and if he was alive today would vehemently oppose abortion.

No. I have no idea whether she said that or not to any human ever.
I don't think she ever wrote that.

She set in motion a philosophy that devalues life.
Not a positive cultural contribution.
