Why do black people support the Planned Parenthood party ?

We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” Sanger wrote. —Letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble on Dec., 10, 1939..founder of Planned Parenthood
Because it's not 1939.
@ianR0ckwell Because minority neighborhoods are typically poor and free medical care is a good thing.
@MalcolmY @MalcolmY I belief the basis of what defines medical care is" First Do no Harm"...so although we agree on your statement medical care is good we may disagree on what is properly defined as care.
@ianR0ckwell Sure. But your opinion on what is and isn't care doesn't matter.

Missions can change. Do you think there is some deep plot going on? I think the tinfoil hat may be a tad large.

I figure that is because even IF Margaret Sanger ever wrote that, most people know that is not even remotely the "mission" of Planned Parenthood. She was indeed somewhat a supporter, of that ugly part of this country's history. That eugenics movement, that many people of all political leanings and religious beliefs jumped on the bandwagon for. It was never about exterminating the "black population".

Because there is more to planned parenthood than abortion, such as: STD testing and treatment, birth control, well-woman exams, cancer screening and prevention, hormone therapy, infertility services, and general health care. It’s why people who think planned parenthood should be defunded/banned are a bunch of ignorant fools.

That’s a good question

While she was very much a proponent of the Eugenics movement, that statement, claimed by Herman Cain, has nothing to support it.

If black people didn’t support systems that oppressed them before, they wouldn’t be listening to anything the US government has to say.
@MorbidCynic Or you know, white people.

Because they support healthcare for women?
