This was 2012, and that's sickening to think of, and I hope that it's changed for the better. I read this while reading another article off of Drudge.

Planned Parenthood has proudly announced its new “99 Dream Keepers” initiative in honor of Black History Month. The campaign is designed to honor 99 African American leaders—one for every year that Planned Parenthood has been in existence.
Planned Parenthood, founded by outspoken eugenicist Margaret Sanger, has led the charge on promoting abortion among the African American population for decades. Since 1973, over 13 million black babies have been aborted, with African American women more than four times as likely to have an abortion than non-Hispanic white women (Hispanic women are 2.7 times more likely than whites). In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion in New York City than were born, while the total number of African American abortions comprised 42.4% of abortions performed in the city that year.
In one passage in the Dream Keeper's announcement—just after lauding the organization's work in "break[ing] down barriers to opportunity posed by poverty, racism, and sexism"—Planned Parenthood feels compelled to vaguely acknowledge its “complicated” history regarding the black community:
Planned Parenthood has a complicated history, but since our founding, we have worked with the community to increase opportunity and access to health care for everyone.
The allusion is in part to founder Margaret Sanger’s eugenicist campaign to “purify" the race. Here’s a passage on promoting abortion within the black community from Sanger’s Woman, Morality, and Birth Control (New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12):
We should 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. We don’t want the 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.

(CNSNews.com) – In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion (31,328) in New York City than were born there (24,758), and the black children killed comprised 42.4% of the total number of abortions in the Big Apple, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The report is entitled, Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes, and was prepared by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vital Statistics.
