** white women are almost twice as likely to smoke during pregnancy than black women

Paragraph 2

I don't know if Sanger was a racist - and I do not think PP was created for black genocide / that was their goal. Idk why but the way she ended that chapter just rubbed me the wrong way. I certainly hope she was not a racist, but let's not act like WW weren't in certain movements down low racist hanging out with black folks.

Saying Martin Luther King Jr couldn't *possibly* endorse a racist WW is BS, too. It happens a lot more than you'd think and her way of thinking was racist.

Plenty of WW in the suffrage movement were racist AF and chose their race over their gender - pissed off that black men got the right to vote before them and didn't want black women to be the face of movement or on the 'front line'.

So far my only criticism is this idea that Sanger just couldn't have been a racist

So far so very good
