The Milwaukee Bucks are protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake, Kenosha, Wisconsin, by the police, by boycotting whole GD game!
Several other teams including the Raptors and the Celtics are considering boycotting their playoff game on Thursday as well.
The Celtics and Raptors remain deep in discussions about a possible boycott of tomorrow's Game 1, sources told @SInow. What's happening now between the Bucks and Magic could have a domino effect.

Tonight, Mike Pence was expected to decry athletes kneeling during the National Anthem in protest, but he's been one-upped before he could make his acceptance speech tonight.
Before boycotting the game, several Bucks players including George Hill had been vocal in recent days following the shooting of Jacob Blake.

“We can’t do anything [from Orlando],” Hill said Monday. “First of all, we shouldn’t have even came to this damn place, to be honest. I think coming here just took all the focal points off what the issues are.”
“It’s just sickening. It’s heartless. It’s a f—ed up situation,” Hill said. “Like I said, you’re supposed to look at the police to protect and serve. Now, it’s looked at harass or shoot.
“To almost take a guy’s life, thank God he’s still alive. I know the cops are probably upset he’s still alive, because I know they surely tried to kill him. But to almost take a man’s life, especially in front of one’s kids, that wasn’t resisting in his back at point-blank range, is a heartless and gutless situation. We need some justice for that.”

This is a remarkable turn of events, in my opinion.

You sound like you may have done a little research about Sanger. If so, you do know that her idea of "birth control" was mainly sterilization of the "lowly". Abortion was "birth control" as a secondary failsafe.
The left has conveniently glossed over Sanger's true philosophy. Anything to make killing an emerging life sound like it's "for the greater good" I guess.
Birth control is good. It existed long before abortion.

Did it? I seriously doubt that.
The plant may also have functioned as a contraceptive and abortifacient. Many species in the parsley family have estrogenic properties, and some, such as wild carrot, are known to act as abortifacients.

That's the worst thing about it.
They have a massive platform. They really could do a lot, but they won't. They make meaningless mouth noises and gestures and destroy what they've been given.
Of course, doing real work and effecting real change for the ones who need it most would take actual time, effort, and money on their part. What would really help would be mentoring so many of the young black boys who have no fathers. Teach them how to be strong, well-adjusted young black men instead of just more of the legions of gang-banging gangsta thugs.
Help start to repair the black community a few young boys at a time.
