Sometimes it actually helps to read the words of the founder of institutions.

Justice Ginsberg has "put her foot in her mouth" and admitted what we conservatives knew... that abortion/Planned Parenthood was born in the desire to control "undesirable" portions of our society.

I thought it might be helpful to list some of the things that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, actually said and wrote. These are NOT isolated references from her life! These are the bedrock principles that directed her adult life, in her own words.

Justice Ginsberg was absolutely correct in what she said... I'm just not sure she wanted to be so honest about the racism behind abortion on demand in America.
