Republican Lawmaker Calls for Removal of Margaret Sanger Bust from National Portrait Gallery By Tré Goins-Phillips for Faith Wire News
GNN Note – Thank goodness -why in the world would there be a person who’s sole message was genocide – that was her entire contribution to humanity, the utter destruction of humanity – why would this person have a sculpture in the National Gallery while sculptures of George Washington are be being destroyed? Her number one target was the black community. Let that sink in for just a minute.

A Republican from Idaho is demanding the Smithsonian remove a bust honoring Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.

Sanger has been criticized for years over her support of eugenics as well as her racially charged comments. For example, the abortion clinic’s founder said the government should “give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.” Sanger also once wrote, “We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.”
She has also advocated abortion “when either mother or father suffers from such diseases as tuberculosis, gonorrhea, syphilis, cancer, epilepsy, insanity, drunkenness, and mental disorders.”
With these things in mind, Rep. Russ Fulcher (R-Idaho) has called for the “troubling” bust of Sanger to be removed from the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
This is the Margaret Sanger bust at the National Portrait Gallery. A lifelong eugenicist, Sanger supported racial segregation & forced sterilization for low IQ, handicapped & “undesirable” black people. She also praised Nazi sterilization laws. #BLM why ignore her racist legacy? pic.twitter.com/tz0trEZjuz

“As our nation struggles to address racial injustice, it is unconscionable that an avowed racialist and eugenicist is featured so prominently,” he wrote in a letter to the Smithsonian. “Ms. Sanger is not the kind, inspirational figure you refer to when you talk about challenging our nation ‘to live up to its founding ideals.’”
