    She, like many protestant leaders supported eugenics after that she only ever advocated for birth control. Also Planned Parenthood officially condemns her involvement with the eugenics movement. As much as I don't support what she advocated, I think it is false to say that she led a secret liberal cabal targeting minorities. It wasn't secret and eugenics is over. It also turned out to be a complete pseudo science that often simply perpetuated racist ideologies.

      This part. So why do they still hand out their very "prestigious" Margaret Sanger Award?

        Why do calvinists associate themselves with that man despite him arguing that it was a moral imperative to kill unorthodox Christians? People are complex. There is not doubt that Margaret Sanger had an enormous influence on that movement. And her support of eugenics is much softer than what people think.

          What man? And, do we give awards in his name?

          So, she should escape the Cancel Culture?

            There are universities, seminars, churches and also awards dedicated to him.

            She’s dead Cow Poke. Has been for 54 years.

              Are we talking about John Calvin? Martin Luther?

              So, let the bad memories die with her.

                You do not consider a woman's ability to exercise control over her body to be a right? Anti-abortionists need to remember that banning abortions will not stop women having them.

                  Pretty much. Two very impressive historical figures. I'm not decrying the awards. Just saying, these figures are complex.

                  I don't support Planned Parenthood Cow Poke. Them giving out awards to someone who had some sort of connection to eugenics is not the biggest problem I have with them.

                    Both had some rather distasteful opinions. And Calvin ran a theocratic state where he and his ilk made the rules.

                      You don't consider that black fetuses being eliminated much more so than whites is a racial tragedy at least equal to blacks getting killed by cops and deserves the same amount of attention and sensationalism?

                          And neither of which get much more than a passing mention in our Church.

                          I don't support Planned Parenthood Cow Poke.
                          Yes, sir - I'm aware of that.

                          I think you're aware that that's not my biggest problem with them, either.

                            I think you would be better employed examining [and addressing] the reasons behind why it appears that within the USA more women from ethnic minorities seek abortions.
