Planned Parenthood Founder Said She'd Leave Country If JFK Elected--Because He Was Catholic

[Geee]

CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) – Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger opposed the Catholic Church for decades because of its moral teachings and its theology in general, to the point that in 1960, when John F. Kennedy, a Catholic, ran for president, Sanger said if he were elected, she would “find another place to live.”

 

Sanger (1879-1966), in her many writings and speeches, frequently attacked the Catholic Church, describing it as among the “arch-enemies to hinder the progress of enlightenment” and determined to destroy America’s “liberties” and establish its own “rules & dominion.”

 

In early July 1960, when then-Senator John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) was about to be nominated by the Democratic Party as their candidate to run against Republican Richard M. Nixon, a Quaker, in the November election, Sanger was asked about the contest.
