New Documentary Exposes the Dark Legacy of Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger 

Pop quiz: who said “The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective?”

Adolf Hitler? Chairman Mao?

No. It was Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.

Most Americans know Planned Parenthood as the nation’s largest provider of abortion, sex education, and birth control. But a new documentary lays bare the group’s sinister origins.

Produced by Fieldwork Media and directed by David Coonradt, ‘The 1916 Project’: Exposing Planned Parenthood’s Century Long Culture of Death brings Seth Gruber’s book of the same name to life. The film analyzes how Sanger’s radical advocacy for birth control, sterilization of the “unfit,” and population control informed today’s progressive movements.

Studying Sanger’s own letters and journals, viewers get an inside look into the mind of Sanger from her first illegal birth control clinic in 1916 to launching the multi-billion enterprise Planned Parenthood as we know it.

“The film connects every dot,” says Gruber. “Explaining the origins of third-trimester abortions, euthanasia, radical sex education, Critical Race Theory and the broader cultural turmoil from 1916 and beyond.”

So far, more than 1,000 churches hosted screenings for the film across the country, sparking nationwide discussion.

The film’s release on DailyWire+ brings an even larger audience of viewers seeking clarity on one of the most contentious issues in America.

Even abortion advocates want to distance themselves from Planned Parenthood’s founder. In 2020, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York announced the removal of Sanger’s name from the Manhattan Health Center.

“The removal of Margaret Sanger’s name from our building is both a necessary and overdue step to reckon with our legacy, and acknowledge Planned Parenthood’s contributions to historical reproductive harm within communities of color,” said Board Chair Karen Seltzer.

Prominent voices are rallying behind the film. Bestselling author and radio host Eric Metaxas calls Sanger’s plans “too horrifying to believe” in revelations of Sanger’s intentions, which he describes as the “literal extermination of races, all by way of the organization she founded.”

Global evangelist and pro-life advocate Nick Vujicic adds, “I meet believers all around the world who want to know what has happened to America.” He calls Seth’s film and book “the definitive guide to how we lost our culture. If the Church awakens and ends abortion in America, The 1916 Project will be remembered as the spark that lit the fire.”

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
