One hundred years of death

Published October 16, 2016 4:03am ET



Planned Parenthood was founded 100 years ago today in Brooklyn, N.Y. Its century of history is worth looking at, for the public can be forgiven for confusion between the organization liberals celebrate for providing essential services for women, and the scandal-ridden eugenics group that performs abortions on an industrial scale.

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, who preached a form of social Darwinism that shaded into and helped inform the fascist movement. “More children from the fit, less from the unfit,” she said. Today, Planned Parenthood performs some 324,000 abortions a year, roughly one every two minutes, disproportionately on black women and their unborn babies.
