Margaret Sanger, who was a humanist and a racist, founded Planned Parenthood. She won Humanist of the Year in 1957. Planned Parenthood's philosophy is based on the Humanist Manifesto.

In 1939 Margaret Sanger said "We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
Margaret Sanger believed that "defective" people and "lesser races" of people should not be allowed to have children.
She also believed that people should be required to have a liscence in order to have children.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in this country. They kill 197,000 pre-born babies a year.

They promote sexual promiscuity to children and teens on their websites and in their public school sex education programs.
Planned Parenthood is under investigation right now in a few states for covering up statuitory rape and for receiving donations on the basis of race.
Planned Parenthood receives millions of taxpayer dollars every year to continue breaking the law, killing babies, and promoting evil philosophies to children and teens.

Tell the federal government to stop funding Planned Parenthood!
