29. I don't think PP has to do this at all.

In reading the entire collective works of Ms Sanger, it is obvious to me that she was in no way racist. The fact that she was admired and respected by ALL the Black leaders of her day amply provides testament to this fact. I believe this action was completely wrong of PP to take, and what it WILL do is to amplify the decades of lying false propaganda catapulted by fascist gestational slavery advocates. These anti-American enemies of the sacred civil, human and Constitutional rights of innocent female citizens will be emboldened, because they will believe that their lying hate speech against one of the greatest humanitarians of the 20th century is "legitimized" by this action.

PP SHOULD have been spending the last decade constantly and consistently making sure that Ms Sanger's historical work, mission, and message were honestly presented, and that all lying false propaganda about Ms Sanger had been promptly and visibly countered with the FACTS. Instead, they chose to delegitimize Ms Sanger.

I have expressed my opinion to PP of Greater New York, and will wait to see if I receive the courtesy of a response. In the meantime, I am working on determining alternative causes for reproductive justice that I can shift my monthly PP donations to, if the response is not satisfactory or if no response is received.
