Charlie Kirk on Margaret Sanger's Eugenics Legacy and Planned Parenthood

Showing 16 Margaret Sanger videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

This topic covers Charlie Kirk's use of Margaret Sanger's history as an argument against Planned Parenthood and modern abortion policy. In a campus debate with a self-described split-ticket voter who supported legal abortion, Kirk pointed to Sanger's role founding what became Planned Parenthood and encouraged the student to research her original goals rather than the organization's modern messaging. Pro-life advocate Seth Gruber joined Kirk at a Freedom Night in America event to detail Sanger's eugenicist views directly, arguing the abortion industry's roots lie in efforts to reduce the population of groups Sanger considered undesirable, and drew a parallel to the White Rose Resistance, a group of young Christians who opposed the Nazi regime. Kirk has repeatedly returned to Sanger's own words in these debates, using them to argue that abortion access was conceived as a tool of selective population control rather than a straightforward matter of individual choice. Additional videos in this topic cover related campus debates over when human life begins, the ethics of selective abortion in cases of Down syndrome diagnoses, and broader arguments about the historical use of eugenic reasoning across ideological lines.
