Regardless of how you feel about abortions, "number of voluntary medical operations performed" should not be the primary metric to determine the success of any organisation.

The title should read, "American Eugenics Had A Banner Year, Performed Most Abortions Since 2011"

I used to agree with 90% of the ideas on the "left".

Learning that planned Parenthood was the rebranded name for the American birth control league, and a eugenics movement supporter had me quickly reassessing my opinions, and why I believed them.

In 1942 the name was changed to Planned Parenthood Federation of America.[1]

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Birth_Control_League)

Margaret Sanger listed the following aims of the organization in the appendix of her book The Pivot of Civilization:[3]

Sterilization: of the insane and feebleminded and the encouragement of this operation upon those afflicted with inherited or transmissible diseases, with the understanding that sterilization does not deprive the individual of his or her sex expression, but merely renders him incapable of producing children.

The American Birth Control League was a significant group supporting the American Eugenics movement...

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States)

They tended to believe in the genetic superiority of Nordic, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon peoples; supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation laws; and supported the forcible sterilization of the poor, disabled and "immoral".[12

One of the most prominent feminists to champion the eugenic agenda was Margaret Sanger, the leader of the American birth control movement."
