I think this topic is incorrectly titled - there is no abortion rights movement, but there is an anti-abortion rights movement.
Apparently anti-abortionists don't use critical thinking, their opinions are merely products of "history".
No she was anti-abortion, even for undesirables. Plus, abortion was illegal.
But, she did support sterilization, encouraged or even forced, for mentally retarded people and those with genetic issues.
She gets connected (somewhat unfairly) with racism because one of her big supporters was the KKK. The KKK might have wanted stronger eugenic measures for some.
But, MLK was also one of her fans for what he viewed as her family planning that helped blacks.
