Did Planned Parenthood originally intend to use birth control and abortion as a means to control the populations of low- income minority groups?
It wasn’t just a matter of trying to control the population; it was a means to eradicate undesirable elements considered not worthy to contribute to society. The eugenics “race improvement,” foundation of the Sanger birth control movement, preceded the population control movement. It was only later, as eugenics fell into disrepute when Hitler came to power, that the concept of population control was used to disguise the eugenic aspect of the birth control movement.
