What is the orgion of the 501c3 of planned parenthood I was told the purpose was to nilate the black people or unwated persons of color Please answer me what you can find?

No, that was never the purpose with Planned Parenthood. They are working to save women and children in African countries by providing birth control, prenatal care and safe labor and that is not trying to get rid of black people. When Sanger started it abortions were not done because she was against abortions. That is why she was so much for birth control and helped creating the birth control pill. When speaking about Sanger one have to understand what society was like back then. Most black people were extremely poor and many children never got the chance to got to school. Women had more children than they could afford and that was something she wanted to help with. She knew that when a woman is control of her fertility she is in control of her life and family. Less children meant children could go to school instead of having to skip school and get jobs because the parents salary was enough to live on. When she saw the poverty many lived in and many babies died in, she offered safe sterilizations for women. The women who were the poorest and needed this the most were the black women and since that is where the biggest demand was, that was also where she set up her clinics. For the women this was a way out of poverty and to take control over their lives. And they did not have any more unsafe and illegal abortions.

What Nazis did Margaret Sanger associate with?

She didn't. The Nazis believed that birth control was wrong and getting rid of an entire race was the way to go while Sanger believed in birth control to prevent handicapped and mentally ill people procreated so the unherited illnesses stopped. There were so few cures in thos days and the poor families had to take care of their sick relatives. Her books were the first the Nazis burned.

Was planned parenthood founded to stop blacks from having children?

No. Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood after she saw a woman die from abortion. She then started the first clinic to provide birth control which then was illegal and she went to prison for it. After she got out she continued and the only permanent birth control they had then was sterilization. That was what saved many families from poverty. And the poorest were often the black people. This is why her clinic was in a black neighborhood. They had big families and the children could not go to school because they had to work. So the black women were happy to have a way to control how many children they would have. That was the best way to get out of poverty - to send the kids to school and not have more children. Sanger did not force them to, they were smart and saw the solution. Many of them worked with her in her clinic. None of them had birth control so there was no other way to control it and abortion was illegal and something Sanger was deeply against, and also highly dangerous.
