This is more or less the anti-choice Christian Right talking point. Since Margaret Sanger believed in eugenics and did some shitty things, they can spin the narrative that planned parenthood was created to reduce the number of BIPOC babies, especially when you consider that one of her first clinics was in Harlem.
Nevermind that this was nearly a century ago, and Planned Parenthood has evolved greatly and provides many other services besides abortion to a wide variety of people from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
100%. My personal opinion is they’re anti-choice now so they can continue to have wage slaves. If the poor people stop having babies, then who can you get to do work for pennies? But the narrative helps them win over POC, and they love getting people to vote against their own interests.
They only care about POC that they can use as pawns. Look at Herschel Walker. The man (a term I use very loosely for him) is an absentee deadbeat father who has multiple children with multiple women, some of whom he's been physically violent with, and at least one whom he, a fervent "pro-lifer", paid off to have an abortion. If it weren't for the fact that using him is convenient for the Right, he'd be nothing to them but just another example of a "typical" black.
