The 1916 Project Tells an Untold Story on Planned Parenthood 2024-09-19T22:25:51-05:00 Shawn Paul Wood

It was 1916 in Brooklyn when a nurse named Margaret Sanger worked together with her sister, Ethel Bryne, to open the country’s first birth control clinic–this was the origin of Planned Parenthood. Since that day, there has been an allegedly dark secret about the organization’s catalyst.

Until this October 4.

That’s when Angel Studios premieres “The 1916 Project.” This bold new project, written by Seth Gruber, also the author of “The 1916 Project: The Lyin’, The Witch, and the War We’re In,” sets to uncover the dark truth about Planned Parenthood’s foundation and why their work is so important. To them. On the Angel Studios’ website, the film synopsis reads:

It’s time the world knew about the well-hidden origins of the secular moral revolution. The 1916 Project is a documentary that exposes Margaret Sanger and her hidden motives for founding the well-funded, heavily enshrouded Planned Parenthood. The film challenges viewers to confront a century-long agenda with ties to eugenics, genocidal ideology, and targeted impacts on Black communities, as well as the controversial role the organization has played in shaping today’s moral culture.

That’s frighteningly more than the country’s first birth control clinic. Despite the vitriol on the political sides of the proverbial fence, do you believe all that?

The Angel Studios documentary is slated to be a bold statement against, as the promotional website suggests, “the linchpin of our decaying nation.” The film’s synopsis further tells the story:

The 1916 Project is a documentary that exposes the hidden history of the secular moral revolution, and the architects of our current culture of death. Equipping the Church to understand the times, resist evil, and rebuild a culture of life. Seth Gruber is launching this historical film to bring the true history around this attack on America and her people and the God-given freedom that we hold so dearly. One so foundational to the dignity of every human, conceived in the womb, the Right to Life, freedoms endowed by our Creator. The 1916 Project will help Americans develop “a deeper understanding of how racist, eugenic, bigoted ideas, structures, and policies in the past evolved into our present-day systems of government, transportation, religion, criminal justice, healthcare, and medicine.”

Despite how pro-life Americans feel about the idea of abortion, few discuss the life of Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger as a point of contention. Yet, Gruber’s wildly active non-profit organization, The White Rose Resistance, declares troubling allegations in the documentary, like a direct connection to Nazism, Darwinism, and the Holocaust.

One note in “The 1916 Project” discusses the inception of Planned Parenthood that October in New York City. Only nine days after she opened the doors, police raided the clinic and arrested Sanger for providing contraceptive advice, a practice then prohibited by federal law. Of course, the juxtaposition of legal matters and reputation issues continues today with the organization.

Most recently at the Democratic National Convention, Planned Parenthood took a stand for pro-choice by having a mobile health bus in the parking lot of Chicago’s United Center “offering free vasectomies, medication abortions, and emergency contraceptives to attendees.”

In addition to Sanger’s history, the film speaks with historians, medical professionals, and leaders of the Church discussing abortion, birth control, the need of the Body of Christ, and what the documentary called “the hidden history of the secular moral revolution.” North Carolina’s Upper Room Church of God in Christ Bishop Patrick L. Wooden, Sr., says something in the film that is being quoted in several publications:

In my opinion, what we’re seeing is too many ministers being influenced by political parties. And many preachers today are more Democrat than they are Gospel preacher when it comes to things like preaching against abortion, the slaughter of the unborn. Nothing is more racist in America than the abortion industry.
