I don't believe I posted anything about South Park. I never watch that show. I could be wrong but I do not remember that particular post.

The views of a founder don't necessarily or actually reflect the realities of the organization today. Additionally it doesn't matter what she thought whether she believed in eugenics, or as others have suggested used the language to win support among people who DID believe in eugenics. Her opinion on abortion is as relevant as any woman's, neither more nor less.
And it was EW who made the SP reference, my bad.
