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.”
