There are some great prolife websites and we visit many of them daily and link to a lot of the top ones. Of course, Life News, Foundation Life Pro-life News, ProLife Unity News and LifeSiteNews are must reads every day; our tremendous national organizations all have very helpful websites, Priests for Life, Human Life International, American Life League, National Right to Life, Sisters of Life, the tremendously effective Life Dynamics, Operation Rescue, our personal favorite Forty Days for Life, and of course Lila Rose and her wonderful organization Live Action.
There are also the websites that we here at the Margaret Sanger Blog rely on very heavily : Klanned Parenthood, TooManyAborted, Black Genocide, and Abort73. Students for Life is an invaluable site. We love Life Decisions International and its effort to defund the bloodthirsty haters at
Planned Parenthood - same with STOPP Planned Parenthood. The quite useful, yet underrated site at ProLifeAmerica, is a favorite. The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform is a definite life-saver.
A few more must visits are Maafa 21, 180 Movie, and The Culture of Life Review. Unique and innovative efforts are also our favorites, so we are big fans of Save the Storks. You will also want to keep an eye on Grace Daigler, a forward thinking Franciscan University student, and her new effort Equipped to Engage. Online for Life is another brilliant new effort. Heartbeat International is also doing some good work. On the local level, there are great organizations across the country, way too many to mention, but a special shout out this year goes to the gutsy folks at Cleveland Right to Life.
Countless men and women are clearly doing heroic work and we are surely missing a bunch of sites worthy of mention. And that is why we can not even begin to list all the great bloggers who each and every day make the case for life and bring to light profound and meaningful pro-life stories. With so many valuable and informative blogs having one central prolife blog that pulls them all-together is extremely useful - that blog is Pro-Life Blogs. For this reason and for giving a united voice to all the wonderful pro-life bloggers, we name ProLifeBlogs the top website of 2013.

The Truth About Margaret Sanger
"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

Update on the Strange and Politically Motivated Editing at Margaret Sanger Wikipedia
Yesterday, we highlighted the following criticism of the Margaret Sanger Wikipedia page:
Hell, this whole article is a glowing review of Margaret:
Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion frequently condemn Sanger by questioning her fitness as a mother and criticizing her views on race, abortion, and eugenics.[61][62][note 8] In spite of such attacks, Sanger continues to be regarded as an icon for the American reproductive rights movement and woman's rights movement.
in other words, many who dislike her say this, but these attacks haven't diminished her as a saint. Yes, let's reduce any controversies surrounding her to a blurb. A blurb that claims people only bring these claims up because they are opposed to abortion. Not because, you know, they're opposed to racism and eugenics. I'm just surprised at the wording and the way this entire article dismisses any valid critiques of her as coming from people that dislike abortion and women.
********************************
Check out what happened today when someone tried to make a very common sense edit:
All her critics, or just many of them? Come on now. By attributing criticisms of her eugenics and alleged racism to "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion" you're ignoring other possible reasons for the criticism unrelated to abortion. The implication is that these criticisms are trumped up charges, and need not be considered on their own merits.
I believe simply using the word 'critics' is the best and most objective description, but if others insist on emphasizing something that people already know, or would assume to be the case (that many opponents of the legalization of abortion criticize Sanger in various ways), I suggest saying, "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion, as well as others,..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.34.67.80 (talk) 04:41, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
********************
We have noted before our own problems with the Margaret Sanger Wiki page:
The Wikipedia entry on Margaret Sanger crack us up. It states, in pertinent part, the following:
In 1926, Sanger gave a lecture on birth control to the women's auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey.[37] ... Sanger's talk was well received by the group, and as a result, "a dozen invitations to similar groups were proffered."[37]
The first noteworthy thing is that nowhere in the Margaret Sanger autobiography does Sanger state that she spoke to the Ku Klux Klan about "birth control." The "birth control" line has just been thrown in to her Wikipedia entry by Planned Parenthood types to try and soften the blow for those reading for the first time about Margaret Sanger and the Ku Klux Klan.
Imagine the surprise the typical Feminist Studies major experiences when she first stumbles across the uncomfortable fact that her hero was invited to speak to various hate groups 13 different times. Woops, Professor Feminazi never mentioned that one in class. Let's just label these invites "birth control lectures," right?

One-word neutral term 'critics' quickly rejected[edit]
I just tried to change "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion" to "Critics" (giving the reason --- "Removed implication of motive and substituted a more neutral term"), and within minutes it was changed back. The reason given was "In this case it is relevant to tell who are her critics."All her critics, or just many of them? Come on now. By attributing criticisms of her eugenics and alleged racism to "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion" you're ignoring other possible reasons for the criticism unrelated to abortion.

Do Propagandists from Klanned Parenthood Control Margaret Sanger Wikipedia Page?
The discussion board over at 4chan.org seems to be on to something:
Holy sh** have you people read the Margaret Sanger wikipedia article? It's like Planned Parenthood themselves wrote it.
It makes light of her racism and eugenics beliefs, and even says under 'Legacy':
>''Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion frequently condemn Sanger by questioning her fitness as a mother and criticizing her views on race, abortion, and eugenics.[61][62][note 8] In spite of such attacks, Sanger continues to be regarded as an icon for the American reproductive rights movement and woman's rights movement.''
Yes, because if you bring up her racism and eugenics it's only because you're opposed to abortion. F***ing what? The wording is completely off.
It's a glowing review of the person who talked with the women's chapter of the KKK and said blacks were like 'human weeds to be exterminated''
Mind you I don't CARE about her racism but it pisses me off that this progressive icon can be everything progressives stand against and yet NONE OF THAT IS MENTIONED.
the racism section makes it seem like she was just a ''victim'' of racist attitudes of the era.
Yeah, like Hitler. He was a victim too.

Margaret Sanger Returns From Dead For One More Ku Klux Klan Rally
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Eighty years after Margaret Sanger's Historic speech to the Ku Klux Klan, the following situation exists:
*A black baby is three times more likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby.
*Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.
*Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.
*Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.
*Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.
*About 13 percent of American women are black, but they submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.
What did Margaret Sanger to the Ku Klux Klan that lead her to be invited back 12 times? If she returned today, she would surely say, "Misson accomplished!"

"OK, Set the Crosses on Fire It's Time for the Birth Control Lecture" or Margaret Sanger and the KKK
The Wikipedia entry on Margaret Sanger crack us up. It states, in pertinent part, the following:
In 1926, Sanger gave a lecture on birth control to the women's auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey.[37] ... Sanger's talk was well received by the group, and as a result, "a dozen invitations to similar groups were proffered."[37]
The first noteworthy thing is that nowhere in the Margaret Sanger autobiography does Sanger state that she spoke to the Ku Klux Klan about "birth control." The "birth control" line has just been thrown in to her Wikipedia entry by Planned Parenthood types to try and soften the blow for those reading for the first time about Margaret Sanger and the Ku Klux Klan.
Imagine the surprise the typical Feminist Studies major experiences when she first stumbles across the uncomfortable fact that her hero was invited to speak to various hate groups 13 different times. Woops, Professor Feminazi never mentioned that one in class. Let's just label these invites "birth control lectures," right?
Here is Sanger's account of her trip to talk to the Ku Klux Klan from pages 366-367 of Margaret Sanger An Autobiograph. You will see no mention of a birth control lecture but you will note that there were burning crosses:
Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.
***
After three hours I was summoned at last and entered a bright corridor filled with wraps. As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak
. ***
In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York.
____________________________________________________________
Several questions quickly come to mind from this brief account.
1) If it was a "birth control lecture" as claimed by the Planned Parenthood flunkies editing her Wikipedia page, why were the burning crosses and banners necessary? Sounds more like a typical hate filled KKK rally.
2) We note that following the cross burning KKK rally, Sanger received "a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups." What did Margaret Sanger say to this hate group that lead to so many subsequent invites?
3) Why have historians by and large simply ignored this event?
4) Would it not be fascinating to see a re-enactment of this event?
5) As we have noted before, if Margaret Sanger was a conservative pro-lifer, her name would never appear in print without the label "frequent Ku Klux Klan Speaker." Why have pro-lifers so far failed to successfully tie Margaret Sanger to the Ku Klux Klan? Afterall, as Martin Luther King's own niece has noted: “The most obvious practitioner of racism in the United States today is Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by the eugenicist Margaret Sanger and recently documented as ready to accept money to eliminate black babies” - Dr. Alveda King.
We renew our call for pro-life bloggers, movie makers and artists to find unique and innovative ways to educate the public about the hate-filled past that gave birth to the evil empire that is Planned Parenthood.

Yep, Margaret Sanger Said It: "We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population"
We've been getting a lot of traffic today from readers seeking to confirm Margaret Sanger quotes from Matthew Archbold and his extremely accurate and helpful article Margaret Sanger Would Not Roll Over in Her Grave to Hear This. It was later reposted at LifeNews.com as: Margaret Sanger: “We Want to Exterminate the Negro Population.” Her Wish is Coming True.
The quotes are indeed accurate as are the statistics. But the money quote comes from Matthew Archbold himself at the end of his powerful article:
So we have the founder of the organization saying that’s what she wanted to do and then when the organization does that, we’re all supposed to believe it’s just coincidence? Isn’t it weird that people point to the majority of prisoners being black and Hispanic as proof of racism but the fact that black babies are far more likely to be killed in the womb is just coincidence?
We don't really know exactly what went down when Margaret Sanger spoke at Ku Klux Klan rallies but we do know from reading Margaret Sanger's autobiography that she was invited at least 13 times to speak to the Ku Klux Klan. Ask yourself, what could Margaret Sanger have been saying to the KKK that led this hate group to keep inviting her back? Inviting her back 13 time to spew her hate.
After reading Margaret Sanger Would Not Roll Over in Her Grave to Hear This, one can imagine Margaret Sanger telling the haters something like this:
"Fellow racists, put away those crazy robes. The cross-burnings are not working. I got a better way. I am going to use the Democratic Party to get hundreds of millions of tax dollars to start killing black babies and other undesirables in the womb. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me. It is going to happen!"
Sure Archbold is basically just outlining The Silver Lake Conspiracy which was first postulated a little over six years ago. But it needs to be repeated frequently. If Margaret Sanger was a conservative pro-lifer, her name would never appear in print without the label "frequent Ku Klux Klan Speaker." (You may want to add that to your Style Guide, pro-life bloggers). Thankfully, more and more experts are now coming to the same conclusions drawn by The Silver Lake Conspiracy and when someone has the guts to put together all the links and come out with a major blockbuster documentary, the world will never see Planned Parenthood the same way.
