In 1966, Planned Parenthood Federation of America inaugurated the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award to honor the woman who founded America's family planning movement. My words will be in red.
Dr. King's award was presented on May 5, 1966. The citation read
"This award is presented to the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., for his courageous resistance to bigotry and his lifelong dedication to the advancement of social justice and human dignity.
OK. I get the "social justice" part. But their definition of "human dignity" is horribly mistaken.
to win freedom for the Negro people parallel closely Mrs. Sanger's fight over the last half-century for the emancipation of women from the burdens of perpetual child-bearing and the emancipation of children from a future of poverty and hopelessness.

Neither Mrs. Sanger nor Dr. King has hesitated to challenge unjust laws, cruel social customs and blind prejudice that hold people in ignorance and degradation.
Abortion is an unjust "law" period.
Dr. King has lent his eloquent voice to the cause of world-wide voluntary family planning.
Artificial Birth Control/ Abortions/ Things that Humanae Vitae was written AGAINST.
For Martin Luther King's unique qualities of understanding, compassion and bravery, and for his wise and unwavering leadership in securing for all people their basic human right to knowledge, dignity and opportunity what about life? that are the fount and principle of Margaret Sanger's life, this award is presented."
Oh, and Margaret Sanger was anti-Catholic, too!

Dr. King say's
"Family planning, to relate population to world resources, is possible, practical and necessary. Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases we do not yet understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered abortions and with resources we possess. Knives and skull-crushers.
There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger's early efforts.
She published such articles as "Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics" (June 1920), "The Eugenic Conscience" (February 1921), "The purpose of Eugenics" (December 1924), "Birth Control and Positive Eugenics" (July 1925), "Birth Control: The True Eugenics" (August 1928),
Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister. Abortion is violence!
...she went into the slums and set up a birth control clinic, and for this deed she went to jail because she was violating an unjust law. That you cannot kill innocent babies?
Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity by decreasing the negro population, Mr. King?
The size of family that may have been appropriate and tolerable on a manually cultivated farm was carried over to the jammed streets of the ghetto. Your address determines how many kids God sees fit for you to have.
Negro folkways in family size persisted. Letting God determine how many kids you have.
For the Negro, therefore, intelligent guides of family planning are a profoundly important ingredient in his quest for security and a decent life. Who's to say what a decent life is.
Like all poor, Negro and white, they have many unwanted children. Oh, when children are burdens... that is the definition of a "decent life."
There is scarcely anything more tragic in human life than a child who is not wanted. So what would you have Margaret Sanger do to your concieved child not yet born?
That which should be a blessing becomes a curse for parent and child. Life is a curse, now? Children with diseases are blessings, children born healthy are blessings. A baptized soul is a blessing to this world.
There is nothing inherent in the Negro mentality which creates this condition. Their poverty causes it. When Negroes have been able to ascend economically, statistics reveal they plan their families with even greater care than whites. Negroes of higher economic and educational status actually have fewer children than white families in the same circumstances. He is saying "Poverty= litters of kids."
"wealth and education = 'smart numbers'."
For these reasons we are natural allies of those who seek to inject any form of planning in our society that enriches life and guarantees the right to exist in freedom and dignity.
He is accepting an award from a group that aborts children right and left. They don't give a hoot whether a conceived child has a right to exist.
