With increasing dogmatism on the far right, ideology that should have become extinct rears its ugly head. If we don’t stop this, a lot of innocent people will get hurt in the end.

Eugenics is still very popular in the US there’s a reason while planned Parenthood targets minorities.

Can I get any evidence from them saying they target minorities? Any evidence at all will do.

Margaret Sanger, founder of planned parent hood, was a racists and huge supporter of eugenics, she even spoke at Klan meetings. In 1939 she started “The Negro Project”, a plan to target black communities. Here are some of her quotes.
We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…" – Letter to Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, December 10, 1939, p. 2
“Apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”- from “My Way to Peace,” Jan. 17, 1932. Margaret Sanger Papers, Library of Congress 130:198.
“Permits for parenthood shall be issued upon application by city, county, or state authorities to married couples, providing they are financially able to support the expected child, have the qualifications needed for proper rearing of the child, have no transmissible diseases, and, on the woman’s part, no medical indication that maternity is likely to result in death or permanent injury to health.” – Margaret Sanger, “America Needs a Code for Babies,” Article 5, March 27, 1934.
“Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives… If we are to make racial progress, this development of womanhood must precede motherhood in every individual woman.” — “Woman and the New Race,” 1920

And the Democrats were the party of the Klan. Funny how things change as time passes.

The democrats moved on to other militant groups to attack their opposition.
