Many Twitter users say the Planned Parenthood 501(c)4 Black Community account embraced the abortion business’s eugenics roots Tuesday when it advised, “If you’re a Black woman in America, it’s statistically safer to have an abortion than to carry a pregnancy to term or give birth.”
The account, which identifies itself with Planned Parenthood Action Fund, tweeted:
If you're a Black woman in America, it's statistically safer to have an abortion than to carry a pregnancy to term or give birth #ScaryStats

Planned Parenthood was founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who wrote in The Pivot of Civilization:
Everywhere we see poverty and large families going hand in hand. Those least fit to carry on the race are increasing most rapidly.

Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our civilization are diverted to the maintenance of those who should never have been born.
