It was started in 1916 under Mary Ware Dennett and was called the National Birth Control League, although Margaret Sanger is usually the one credited with founding of Planned Parenthood. Then when Margaret Sanger took over the name was changed to American Birth Control League. In 1942 the center changed its' name to its' current name Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.

After doing some research it appears to me that Ms. Sanger wanted abortions to purify the country from blacks, indigents and the poor. Could someone explain to me how this is anything but barbaric? But the liberals will all say what a wonderful job Planned Parenthood does. In my humble opinion, it's nothing but a government-funded abortion mill.

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger. Sanger was a women's health advocate who believed that in order for women's health to improve, they needed education and ways to control how many children they were having.

She founded the American Birth Control League in the early 1920s. Years later, the organization was re-named Planned Parenthood.
