The link between Eugenics, Abortion, Euthanasia, and Planned Parenthood April 10, 2018 (Live Action News) Believe it or not, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger did not introduce abortion to the organization. It was a man, Alan F. Guttmacher (after whom the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute is named), who did so. But Sanger has a very controversial history as an enthusiastic proponent of eugenics and as a member of the American Eugenics Society. The philosophy of eugenics not only fed her work within the Planned Parenthood movement, but her lesser known advocacy of euthanasia as well. The organizations Sanger founded, such as the American Birth Control League (ABCL), and later, Planned Parenthood, also have ties to many eugenics proponents. Under the philosophy of eugenics, minorities and the poor, as well as others deemed to be "feebleminded or unfit" were sometimes sterilized by the state. And at times, state sterilization boards used Planned Parenthood to commit these surgeries. Sanger's advocacy of eugenics reveals that her desire was initially to sterilize those she deemed "unfit." It wasn't until after these inhumane, eugenic methods were challenged in court that abortion was introduced into Planned Parenthood as an organization.
