Panned Parenthood is an organization that performs abortions, provides maternal and reproductive health-care to women and couples. They are an international non profit organization that provides low coast health care. Planned Parenthood services include birth control and family planning, gynecological care, STI/STD testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, and abortion services. [1] They promote abstinence as the only sure way to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, but also provide birth control. [2] Planned Parenthood Federation of America states that all individuals should have the freedom to make reproductive decisions.They believe that the freedom to make reproductive decisions involves the right to privacy, especially in relationships; the right to education and that every individual should be able to make a informed decisions about sexuality and reproduction; and the right to nondiscriminatory access to comprehensive and confidential healthcare. [3] Planned Parenthood's stance on sex education is "Such education should include sexual identity, sexual development and relationships across the life cycle, reproductive choices, decision-making skills, and the responsibilities of parenthood."

Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood annually gives awards to those who support their agenda and the top award which they give is called The Margaret Sanger Award. Alan Guttmacher, who succeeded Margaret Sanger as the director of Planned Parenthood, said "We are merely walking down the path that Ms. Sanger has carved out for us." Similarly, Faye Wattleton, who was the president of Planned Parenthood until 1992, stated that she was "proud" to be "walking in the footsteps" of Margaret Sanger.

Below are some statements of Margaret Sanger:

"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

"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."

According to writer George Grant author of Killing Angel:

"During the 1980s when Planned Parenthood shifted its focus from community-based clinics to school-based clinics, it again targeted inner-city minority neighborhoods...Of the more than 100 school-based clinics that have opened nationwide in the last decade [1980s], none has been at substantially all-white schools....None has been at suburban middle-class schools. All have been at black, minority or ethnic schools.”
