Unless you're someone like King who accepted an award in the Jew hating/negro hating racist's name.

Unless you can come up with evidence (writings, speeches, etc.) where King denounced abortion, the only thing that I've come across is this article from Ebony magazine where King told a young man to move on after the young man admitted that he had committed a crime (abortion was illegal at the time).
Question: About two years ago, I was going with a young lady who became pregnant. I refused to marry her. As a result, I was direct& responsible for a crime. It was not until a month later that I realized the awful thing I had done. I begged her to forgive me, to come back, but she has not answered my letters. The thing stays on my mind. What can I do? I have prayed for forgiveness.
[Martin Luther King Jr.'s] Answer: You have made a mistake. This you admit. Your admitting this fact is very wholesome, for it is the first step in the process of repentance and personal- ity integration. One can never rectify a mistake until he admits that a mistake has been made. Now that you have prayed for forgiveness and acknowledged your mistake, you must turn your vision to the future. You must not become morbidly absorbed in a past mistake but you must seek to outlive it by creative living in the future. Now that you have repented, don’t concentrate on what you failed to do in the past, but what you are determined to do in the future. This sense of peni- tence and this creative living will do more to cause the young lady to forgive you than anything you can say in words.

"Creative living"?
Relating to or involving the use of the imagination or original ideas to create something.

One would think that a Christian Reverend such as King would advised the young man to turn to Holy Scripture for all answers in life, not "creative living".
It was no secret what Sanger stood for.
It actually was...

...in fact some people still debate her involvement in that particular. Otherwise no black person of any stripe would have been caught within a mile of her,
