Abortion provider changes name over Marie Stopes’ racist history
The reputation of the birth control pioneer has long been tarnished by her embrace of the eugenics movement
Abortion provider Marie Stopes International is changing its name in a bid to distance itself from the family planning pioneer’s views on eugenics and race.
The charity will become known as MSI Reproductive Choices, a move it says was triggered in part by the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent debates on race and equality.
