Gupta warns that ignoring this context leads to a restricted and potentially misleading viewpoint on the public health situation.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Eugenics Quote, Margaret Sanger Legacy (2:52:35–2:58:46) A 2009 interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg resurfaced in which she discussed Roe v. Wade in the context of concern about "growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of." This coincides with Planned Parenthood of Greater New York removing Margaret Sanger's name from a clinic due to her ties to the eugenics movement. The discussion explores the historical link between early birth control advocates and population control theories.
