Black women get pregnant at a higher rate than white women, so of course they would have a higher abortion right. They are also more likely to be living in poverty, which is another factor.
Sanger was against abortion - she was on YOUR side of the issue.
Partisan hacks do not let facts get in their way. Matchlight likes to spout out RW talking points. And the "Margaret Sanger was a racist who espoused genocide" is one of their favorites.
For the record:
She [Sanger] worked with eminent African American leaders and professionals who saw a need for birth control in their communities. In 1929, James H. Hubert, a black social worker and leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[83] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with black doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of black doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press and in black churches, and it received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, civil rights legend and author of The Souls Of Black Folk, co-founder of the NAACP and editor of its magazine, Crisis, whom Martin Luther King Jr. would eulogize as "unsurpassed as an intellect."[84][85][86][87] Sanger did not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor would she tolerate any refusal to work within interracial projects.[88] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[89]
