		<description><![CDATA[Lack of access?  Lack of access!  Planned Parenthood is SO there with contraceptives to hand out, and has been for decades.  That cannot be an excuse.  Why will you not see the real perp in this picture, Margaret Senger who founded Planned Parenthood?  Sanger suggested the answer to poverty and degradation lay in smaller numbers of blacks. She convinced black civic groups in Harlem of the “benefits” of birth control, under the cloak of “better health” (i.e., reduction of maternal and infant death; child spacing) and “family planning.” So with their cooperation, and the endorsement of The Amsterdam News (a prominent black newspaper), Sanger established the Harlem branch of the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau.

Prior to 1939, Sanger&#039;s “outreach to the black community was largely limited to her Harlem clinic and speaking at black churches.” Her vision for “the reproductive practices of black Americans” expanded after the January 1939 merger of the Clinical Research Bureau and the American Birth Control League to form the Birth Control Federation of America. She selected Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, of the soap-manufacturing company Procter and Gamble, to be the BCFA regional director of the South. 

Gamble wrote a memorandum in November 1939 entitled “Suggestions for the Negro Project,” in which he recognized that “black leaders might regard birth control as an extermination plot.” He suggested black leaders be placed in positions where it would appear they were in charge.  Yet Sanger&#039;s reply reflects Gamble&#039;s ambivalence about having blacks in authoritative positions:

&quot;I note that you doubt it worthwhile to employ a full-time Negro physician. It seems to me from my experience ... that, while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors, they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table, which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts. They do not do this with white people and if we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and ... knowledge, which ... will have far-reaching results among the colored people.&quot;

Sanger knew blacks were a religious people—and how useful ministers would be to her project. She wrote in the same letter: 

&quot;The minister&#039;s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want 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.&quot;

Still think Planned Parenthood is in your court?  Think again...  Just look at where they place their abortion mills.  Just look at the skyrocketing numbers of blacks being exterminated.  Just look ... before there are none left to see.]]></description>
