In case people don't follow your link.
The stuff in the video about Margaret Sanger is in question (although her being a eugenicist appears to be factual) but I don't think the statistics are in question and definitely not the stuff about the second largest Planned Parenthood center being built in Houston or the location of the center and the demographics surrounding it.
Also if Ms. Sanger really did say this:
[We propose to] hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
Commenting on the 'Negro Project' in a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, December 10, 1939. - Sanger manuscripts, Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
(Note: There is a different date circulated, e.g. Oct. 19, 1939; but Dec. 10 is the correct date of Mrs. Sanger's letter to Mr. Gamble.)from wikiquote
she probably was a racist.
Clearly she had some abhorrent views.

I agree.
And let me go on record saying I am anti-abortion and believe it is the taking of a human life. It is as much a litmus test for my voting than anything.
But I just think it's important for us to safeguard all truths, even ones inconvenient. It's the only way to make sure we keep our hands clean in the debates on abortion, which I think is a human rights issue. I just want to make sure we don't perpetuate untruths or even half-truths because they are in service of something generally good.

So I guess the march on this clinic is today?
I'd like to hear how it goes...
I've done quite a bit of research on the racism of abortion and margaret Sanger, and some of the quotes that such websites and videos use are taken out of context.
But there's still a lot of truth behind it. John Piper's got some good sermons on the subject.

I have read that some of the claims often made in these things are not entirely accurate.
