On taxpayers' dime, Kamala Harris flew to an abortion clinic - the 1st VP to do so. Was that right?

She isn't too bright. Maybe she thinks that MAGA means Make America Give Abortions.
@SteelHands Make America Grant Abortions. Sounds better.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Margaret Sanger's mission was on behalf of the Eugenicists. Family planning is a code word. She like the others she represented wanted to remove the feeble minded "germ plasm" from the population.
@SteelHands Margaret Sanger, a prominent figure in the birth control movement, did indeed have connections to the eugenics movement, which was influential in the early 20th century. She believed in promoting birth control as a means of empowering women and improving public health. However, it's essential to understand the complexities of her views and the historical context in which she operated.

Sanger's advocacy for birth control stemmed from her belief that women should have control over their reproductive choices. While she did associate with eugenicists and believed in the idea of "selective breeding" to improve the human race, her primary focus was on women's rights and reproductive health.

The term "family planning" was indeed used as a euphemism for birth control, but its purpose was to promote the idea of controlling family size and spacing out births, which Sanger believed would lead to healthier families and communities.

It's crucial to approach historical figures like Margaret Sanger with nuance, acknowledging both their contributions and the controversies surrounding their beliefs and associations. While she did intersect with eugenics, her legacy is more complex and encompasses a broader range of reproductive rights and health advocacy.
