UK's Marie Stopes abortion chain changes name to distance itself from eugenics https://www.liveaction.org/news/uk-marie-stopes-abortion-name-distance-eugenics/
THREAD/ A name change cannot erase the UK abortion corporation MSI’s (Marie Stopes International) controversies and numerous scandals. (read at link on initial tweet)
THREAD/ Upon her death in 1958, Eugenics Review author Vera Houghton claimed that Marie Stopes bequeathed the Whitfield Street clinic to the Eugenics Society. November of 1975, the building was purchased by Tim Black. #MSI #eugenics #MarieStopes #abortion #UK
THREAD/ Marie Stopes International (MSI Reproductive Choice) abortion chain:
Archived history pages of MSI (2010, 2011, and 2012) show that MSI “grew out of the organisation originally set up by Marie Stopes in 1921.” #MSI #eugenics #MarieStopes #abortion #UK
