No, that was never the purpose with Planned Parenthood. They are working to save women and children in African countries by providing Birth Control, prenatal care and safe labor and that is not trying to get rid of black people. When Sanger started it abortions were not done because she was against abortions. That is why she was so much for birth control and helped creating the birth control pill. When speaking about Sanger one have to understand what society was like back then. Most black people were extremely poor and many children never got the chance to got to school. Women had more children than they could afford and that was something she wanted to help with. She knew that when a woman is control of her fertility she is in control of her life and family. Less children meant children could go to school instead of having to skip school and get jobs because the parents salary was enough to live on. When she saw the poverty many lived in and many babies died in, she offered safe sterilizations for women. The women who were the poorest and needed this the most were the black women and since that is where the biggest demand was, that was also where she set up her clinics. For the women this was a way out of poverty and to take control over their lives. And they did not have any more unsafe and illegal abortions.
