Which race does planned parenthood abort more than any other? The white majority or the black minority?
How many women, black or white, are forced at gun point into planned parenthood clinics?
If black women are over represented in termination figures there may well be racist factors involved but they are nothing to do with planned parenthood and everything to do with living in a racist society.
Planned Parenthood is one of the few organisations that gives women, black or white, control over a major socioeconomic factor in their lives.

Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger had a history of pro-eugenics comments and targeting black communities with birth control.

You do know what "targeting" means, right?

Liar could you be a more twisted misogynist
Wiki
“ In 1921, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. In New York City, she organized the first birth control clinic to be staffed by all-female doctors, as well as a clinic in Harlem which had an all African-American advisory council,[11] where African-American staff were later added.[12] In 1929, she formed the National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control, which served as the focal point of her lobbying efforts to legalize contraception in the United States. From 1952 to 1959, Sanger served as president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation. She died in 1966 and is widely regarded as a founder of the modern birth control movement.[4]”

She was a supporter of birth control not abortion.
Anyone committed to birth control as a socioeconomic tool for the improvement of conditions for the poor is going to “target’ the poorest women, and guess who that’s gonna be in a racist country?
She didn’t even found planned parenthood.
Pretty much everyone had an interest in Eugenics at that time, but especially people in the US.
She was hounded by right wing fundamentalist bigots for pioneering access to birth control for women in the US, apparently the bigots are still here.
