Planned Parenthood Removes Margaret Sanger's Name From Health Center
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Planned Parenthood of Greater New York has announced that it is removing
Margaret Sanger's name from its Manhattan Health Center because of her
"harmful connections to the eugenics movement." Sanger opened the first
birth control clinic in the United States in 1916 and later founded the
organization that would become Planned Parenthood.
