"THE ELIMINATION OF HUMAN WEEDS"
By: Chuck Morse
To understand the abortion agenda today we need look no further than its
most influential booster, one of the founders of Planned Parenthood,
Margaret Sanger (1883-1966). Sanger’s philosophical Nazism and association
with the German Nazi movement, along with an examination of her career,
indicate that her focus on abortion and birth control, rather than motivated
by "choice", was actually a reflection of her belief in eugenics and
genocidal population control. The left and the emerging globalist
establishment largely adopted her policies, albeit in a sanitized and
re-marketed version, after WWII and the defeat of the Nazi experiment.
Its quite clear that both Nazism and Communism, with their fellow travelers
and camp followers, represent the same philosophical idea, which is, as
referred to by Marx, state control over the "means of production". Both
strive to use the gun-backed power of the state to control human life and
to decide who lives and who dies.
Statepower is, from their perspective, necessary to fulfill their designs
for world political control and to satisfy their utopian faith of creating
paradise on earth. The Communists dream of a "workers paradise" the Nazis of
an Aryan super-race. American notions of the role of the state are, of
course, the exact opposite of both socialisms.Communists would, to use Lenin
’s term,"liquidate" those who were either deemed members of a socially
regressive class, or those who were not "politically correct" however the
term is defined at a given time. Nazis would incinerate those who were
deemed not to be "racially correct". Either way, there is a total loss of
freedom and innocent people end up just as dead.
Given the fact that our tax dollars support International Planned
Parenthood, with their "family planning program" of forced abortions, forced
sterilization, infanticide, and advocacy of euthanasia in Communist China,
it is reasonable that we look at the career of their primary founder. George
Grant, author of "Killer Angel" presents a well-documented recantation of
Sanger’s career and philosophy. Grant quotes Sanger, in her own book "The
Pivot of Civilization" as referring to "the elimination of human weeds".
Sanger calls for the "cessation of charity" because it results in prolonging
the lives of those she deems to be "unfit".
Sanger advocated, in her own words, the segregation of "morons, misfits, and
the maladjusted", and for the "sterilization of genetically inferior races".
She contended that in order to "save the planet", the "unfit" should be
discouraged from reproducing. With this in mind, she spearheaded the opening
of birth control clinics in, according to Grant,"the Brownsville section of
New York, an area populated by newly immigrated Slavs, Latins, Italians, and
Jews".
Sanger, in the magazine "The Birth Control Review", supported the
"infanticide program" of Nazi Germany, promoted Hitler’s white supremacy in
the 1930’s, and hired Ernst Rudin, the Nazi head of the German Medical
Experimentation Program as a consultant. In 1939, the year WWII broke out,
she organized the "Negro Project" which was designed to eliminate members of
an "inferior race". Sanger stated that:
"The masses of Negroes…particularly in the South, still breed carelessly and
disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes, even more
than among whites, is from that portion of the population least intelligent
and fit".
Sanger’s stated method of reaching the Negro community was to recruit Negro
ministers "to travel to various black enclaves to propagandize for birth
control". She stated that:
"The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a
religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate
the Negro population, and the Minister is the man who can straighten out
that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
Sanger wrote of the necessity of targeting "dysgenic races" which would
include "Fundamentalists and Catholics, blacks, Hispanics, (and) American
Indians". Sanger stated that:
"Birth control appeals to the advanced radical because it is calculated to
undermine the authority of the Christian churches. I look forward to seeing
humanity free someday of the tyranny of Christianity no less than
Capitalism".
Sanger, like Hitler, dabbled in the anti Judeo-Christian occult, or what we
would refer to as the "New Age". This faith, in the hands of these two
socialist radicals, lends itself to utopian ideas of race purity. Hitler’s
Germany presents a textbook example of what happens when eugenic socialism
becomes "empowered".
While it could be argued that abortion should be, as President Clinton
stated, "legal, safe, and rare", women are being deceived if they think that
the pro-abortion lobby stands for "choice". If they did, the
pro-abortionists would advocate against abortion. The pro-abortionists would
also come clean in terms of the negative physical and psychological effect
abortions have on women. It would be easy for them to promote adoption, as
there are thousands of couples who are waiting to adopt a baby. They would
look to abortion, while legal, as an absolute last resort to be considered
for medical reasons only. Instead, they continue to push the envelope with
"partial birth abortion", infanticide, euthanasia, and other devises for
eliminating those deemed "unfit".

I guess then that all abortion opponents have, as their real goal,
imposing a dictatorship through the use of terrorism, bombing,
harrassment, and murder.

It's over the top to argue Sanger was a member of
the National Socialist party. But, like so many other
'social progressives' of her day, she had ideas that
she shared with 'em -- even admired the National
Socialists for their social goals of racial hygiene.
You'd be hard pressed to argue that eugenics wasn't
among the core beliefs of Sanger and other so-called
benefactors of the people, including the socialists
of that era. Because you don't like certain parts of
reality you find unpleasant to your cozy socialism,
you employ flames where adults use facts. Then,
you launch into unsubstantiated yelps of "liar". If you
know these quotes are phony, such as the "elimination
of human weeds" quote, then let's see you demonstrate
such. Your mouth isn't a demonstration of anything
except your own lack of credibility.

All excuses for socialism, like those for its Ladies

Which is an excellent point if you are trying to
paint Margaret Sanger and the organization that
was to become Planned Parenthood as *racist*, since
to look further at other "most influential boosters",
one would swiftly find that Margaret Sanger and
Planned Parenthood are anything BUT racist!
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was an educated man
and a minister. Surely his opinion of Margaret
Sanger, one of his contemporaries, matters more
than the ramblings of George Grant?
"There is a striking kinship between our movement
and Margaret Sanger's early efforts. ... Our sure

Don't forget the pivotal point in her career,
1929, when she *stopped editing* the "BIRTH

since almost all of the negative language
attributed to Margaret Sanger from "BIRTH
CONTROL REVIEW" is claimed to come from
magazines dated *after* 1929.

THE BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW
February 1919
"Eugenists imply or insist that a woman's
first duty is to the state; we contend
that her duty to herself is her first
duty to the state. We maintain that a
woman possessing an adequate knowledge
of her reproductive functions is the
best judge of the time and conditions
under which her child should be brought
into the world. We further maintain that
it is her right, regardless of all other
considerations, to determine whether she
shall bear children or not, and how many
children she shall bear if she chooses to
become a mother."

Frankly, I'd have to see proof of the IPPF "forcing
sterilizations", "forcing abortions", and "committing
infanticide", before these allegations should be
taken seriously. The population control program of
China is already well known, and it takes very little
effort to try and paint groups also working in China
with the same brush. It takes proof to make the
reverse-whitewashing stick!

Interestingly enough, if one does a text search for
the word "weeds" within the public domain copy of
"The Pivot of Civilization" found at
http://www.pro-life.net/sanger/pivot_in.htm (note
that it is an anti-abortion source), the word is
only found in the following paragraph (the word
WEEDS is emphasized by me, and is not capitalized
within Pivot):
===========================================
http://www.pro-life.net/sanger/pivot_in.htm
===========================================
THE PIVOT OF CIVILIZATION
CHAPTER III: ``Children Troop Down From Heaven....''
===========================================
"...One ten-year- old boy had never been to school
because he was a mental defective; one child of
nine was practically blinded by cataracts. This
child was found groping his way down the beet-rows
pulling out WEEDS and feeling for the
beet-plants--in the glare of the sun he had lost
all sense of light and dark. Of the three hundred
and forty children who were not going or had never
gone to school, only four had reached the point of
graduation, and only one had gone to high school.
These large families migrated to the beet-fields
in early spring."
===========================================
Seems to me that the writer is putting words in
Margaret Sanger's mouth and then condemning her
for saying words which she NEVER SAID.
So lets just make this clear, once and for all:
THE PIVOT OF CIVILIZATION DOES NOT CONTAIN THE
PHRASE: "THE ELIMINATION OF HUMAN WEEDS".
George Grant is LYING because he proposes that
"the elimination of human weeds" is an EXACT
QUOTE in Margaret Sanger's OWN WORDS, and this
is clearly FALSE, from an ANTI-ABORTION SOURCE
of "The Pivot of Civilization".
Why is it that the anti-abortion movement, after
claiming to have all this "proof" of Margaret
Sanger being a racist, CHOOSES to use these
blatant falsehoods and outright misattributions?
Could it be that they really don't have any
proof whatsoever?
> Sanger calls for the "cessation of charity"
> because it results in prolonging the lives of
> those she deems to be "unfit".
And if you were a believer of the social darwinist
theories that essentially make up EUGENICS, you
would say things like this. (remember that:
Social Darwinism is just a whitewashed term for
EUGENICS)
But you'll note one important fact about Margaret
Sanger: compared to the majority of eugenicists of
her day, she was opposed to the application of
eugenics based on racist principles. I.e., that
individuals could be inferior, but not entire
population groups!
Ironically, this put her in the "moderate" group
of eugenicists of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
> Sanger advocated, in her own words, the
> segregation of "morons, misfits, and the
> maladjusted",
Her *exact words* were the placing of
"illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals,
prostitutes, [and] dope-fiends" ... "on farms
and open spaces as long as necessary for the
strengthening and development of moral conduct."
By a startling contrast, the GOP supports much
the same policy through the segregation of the
incredibly illiterate prison population of
America, whose numbers include "dope-fiends,
criminals, prostitutes, etc.". Some in the
GOP have suggested Margaret Sanger's idea of
making prisoners work on farms.
I guess it just matters which side you're on.
If you're aligned with Margaret Sanger, then your
ideas of segregating criminals from the rest of
the population and making them work must be EVIL.
If you're aligned with the GOP, then your ideas
of segregating criminals from the rest of the
population and making them work must be GOOD.
> and for the "sterilization of genetically
> inferior races".
I'd need an exact citation or quote on this one.
I suspect that the author of this propaganda
piece is merely using the word "races" in place
of "individuals".
Throughout her life, Margaret Sanger argued that
only individuals, not entire population groups,
could be "inferior" to a eugenics standard.
Incidentally, a text search of The Pivot of
Civilization, using the word "race", does NOT
produce the phrase "sterilization of genetically
inferior races" ANYWHERE within Pivot!
Must be putting words into the mouth of Margaret
Sanger again! Is there ANY proof of Margaret
Sanger being a racist which is not a deliberate
falsehood???
> She contended that in order to "save the planet",
> the "unfit" should be discouraged from reproducing.
Interestingly enough, this sentence here does not
jibe with earlier claims that Margaret Sanger
wanted the government to FORCE sterilizations and/or
FORCE reproductive control on anyone!
> With this in mind, she spearheaded the opening
> of birth control clinics in, according to Grant,
> "the Brownsville section of New York, an area
> populated by newly immigrated Slavs, Latins,
> Italians, and Jews".
The problem here is that by trying to give birth
control to the populations that needed it most
because of their extreme poverty, people are
making claims that she was targeting specific
races within the poverty-stricken communities.
IMAHO, the poverty of the neighborhood spurred
the opening of birth control clinics, not the
races which happened, by the sorry state of
man's inhumanity to man, to be living in
poverty-stricken neighborhoods at the time.
One might as well suggest that the Catholics
target specific races in low-income areas when
they open soup kitchens in poverty-stricken
neighborhoods, and there is a mode of thinking
which suggests that giving people handouts
only encourages more handouts, not people
learning to help themselves.
By a startling contrast, Margaret Sanger and
the GOP both advocate a similar policy of
trying to help people help themselves, rather
than relying upon outsiders all the time for
help.
I guess it all depends on which side you're
on, your side or the side you're attacking.
When the GOP attempts to make people help
themselves by *denying them assistance*,
they're "helping people help themselves".
When Margaret Sanger suggests the SAME DAMN
THING, she's being "racist" or a "eugenicist".

> promoted Hitler’s white supremacy in the 1930’s,

I'm interested in any exact citations of where,
within the pages of The Birth Control Review, exists
the proof for any of these allegations. An allegation
without a citation is effectively a FALSE allegation.
And since the author is unwilling to check the facts
of the claim listed below, the claims listed above
are automatically suspect.

Race relations supporters who were
involved in the Negro Project:
W.E.B. DuBois, the Founder of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, and one of the BOARD OF DIRECTORS
for the "Negro Project".
Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of the National
Council of Negro Women
Adam Clayton Powell Jr., pastor of the
Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem
Eleanor Roosevelt, the most visible and
compassionate supporter of racial equality
in her era
Albert and Mary Lasker, the medical
philanthropists whose financial support
made the project possible
The most prominent supporters of race
equality were actively supporting a
project designed to "kill off blacks"?

OOPS. Guess the person making the claim has been
reading from anti-abortion PROPAGANDA and not from
"The Birth Control Review" of June ** 1932 **.
In any case, the quote is a misattribution.
The author of the article in which the above
text appears is in fact W.E.B. DuBois, the
Founder of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. Margaret Sanger
ceased editing the "The Birth Control Review"
in 1929, and did not contribute any articles
to the "NEGRO NUMBER", the June 1932 issue of
"The Birth Control Review."
As for the Founder of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People being
*racist*, I'll let you decide whether or not
W.E.B. DuBois was trying to *attack blacks*.
=========================================
THE BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW, June 1932
Issue Titled: NEGRO NUMBER
"Black Folks and Birth Control"
by W.E.B. DuBois
=========================================
Article Review
=========================================
This article contains the famous quote often
misattributed to Margaret Sanger, "the mass
of ignorant Negroes still breed carelessly
and disastrously, so that the increase among
Negroes, even more than the increase among
whites, is from that part of the population
least intelligent and fit, and least able to
rear their children properly."
If one merely notes the very next paragraph,
one sees that his attitude is not a desire
to simply decrease the "Negro" population
among the lower classes, but to help them
achieve the higher class he and other
educated "Negroes" have attained: "There
comes, therefore, the difficult and insistent
problem of spreading among Negroes an
intelligent and clearly recognized concept
of proper birth control, so that the young
people can marry, have companionship and
natural health, and yet not have children
until they are ready to take care of
them...They must learn that among human
races and groups, as among vegetables,
quality and not mere quantity really counts."
Encouraging fellow members of his own race
into practices which can only lead to greater
material goods for themselves and greater
education and employment for their own
children, surely cannot be called racist!

Exact Article Quote, in context:
"It seems to me from my experience ... in
North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas,
that while the colored Negroes have great
respect for white doctors, they can get closer
to their own members and more or less lay their
cards on the table. ... They do not do this
with the white people, and if we can train the
Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among
them with enthusiasm and with knowledge, which,
I believe, will have far-reaching results. ...
His work, in my opinion, should be entirely with
the Negro profession and the nurses, hospital,
social workers, as well as the County's white
doctors. His success will depend upon his
personality and his training by us."
"The minister's work is also important, and also
he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation,
as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to
reach. We do not want word to go out that we want
to exterminate the Negro population, and the
minister is the man who can straighten out that
idea if it ever occurs."
The problem here is that the article only appears
to be racist if one assumes first that only racist
motives are being used to justify birth control
in the black communities.
The fact is that there were very pro-black reasons
for promoting real birth control methods among
the black communities of the 1920s and 1930s.
First and most obvious would have been to reduce
family size in the increasingly urban populations.
While a rural black family might have cause to
have a large family--every new child represented
a new, largely free farmworker--the urban family
would not have such a benefit from large family
size--every new child represented a new mouth to
feed who would not bring home additional income.
Second, and less obvious, would have been to
replace the black community's already massive
preoccupation with *quack* birth control methods
with real, efficient, less dangerous birth control
methods! Most anti-abortion "historians" like to
leave out the FACT that the black community was
already working quite hard to CONTROL THEIR *OWN*
BIRTHS, and getting HURT from quack birth control
and abortifacients available in the HUGE market
for such things in the South, and to some extent
the market was the SAME in the North.
By replacing the quack, folk methods of birth
control and abortifacients, with modern methods
proven to work to control births, the Birth
Control League (what was to become Planned
Parenthood) was actually saving the lives of
quite a few women while helping them reduce
their family sizes!
==========================================
THE BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW, June 1932
"A Question of Negro Health"
by Charles S. Johnson
==========================================
"An important present circumstance is the
inaccessibility of reliable information
centers for those elements of the Negro
population, which, on the one hand, are
unable to secure high-priced professional
advice, and on the other hand do greater
violence than good to themselves through
reliance on dangerous folk measures."
==========================================
It is obvious that only with deliberate
omissions and deliberate errors or falsehoods,
will the anti-abortion movement create a
picture of a racist Margaret Sanger and a
racist Birth Control League (Planned Parenthood).
> Sanger wrote of the necessity of targeting
> "dysgenic races" which would include
> "Fundamentalists and Catholics, blacks,
> Hispanics, (and) American Indians".
Again, the word "dysgenic" appears only in
conjunction with "the human race", and not
in conjunction with any specific race.
It seems that a bit of wishful thinking on
the part of the anti-abortion movement has
turned into actual DOGMA.
> Sanger stated that:
>
> "Birth control appeals to the advanced radical

Xtianity, at the time and even today, continues
to hold an "immediate post-Black Death ideal" of
repopulating the earth. The authority of Christian
churches is what, for example, causes girls in
Mississippi to forgo birth control, even as they
have sex with their boyfriends to avoid losing them.
Xtianity has caused more and bloodier wars than
any other religion in the world. Xtian attitudes
against birth control and in favor of huge families
have caused untold suffering when huge families try
to live in urban areas.
Her position is one which has some credibility,
albeit her position on charity also has a lot to
do with her opposition to Xtianity.

Despite Hitler's repeated claims of being a member

How hilarious! "The pro-abortion people,
if they were really pro-choice, would be
anti-abortion"!
Does this guy even understand ENGLISH?
Anti-abortion is AGAINST CHOICE, because it
opposes the ONLY OTHER CHOICE in pregnancy!
Adoption REQUIRES childbirth, so it is not
an "alternative" to childbirth. Abortion,
as an alternative to childbirth, is an
alternative to childbirth!
Pro-choicers ALREADY support reduced abortions!
> The pro-abortionists would also come clean
> in terms of the negative physical and
> psychological effect abortions have on women.
Which would be easy if all those damned
studies using the scientific method and anti-bias
stuff wouldn't keep coming up in favor of NO
psychological damage to women after abortions!
As for the potential and actual physical
complications, the comparison is often made
between childbirth's complications and
abortion's complications, with the obvious
winner being the LESSER complications, the
abortion procedure.
> It would be easy for them to promote adoption,
It would be easy if adoption were an alternative
to CHILDBIRTH, but wait, no, it isn't an alternative
to childbirth, so how can it be an alternative to
abortion?
> as there are thousands of couples who are
> waiting to adopt a baby.
Waiting to adopt a healthy, white baby, you mean.
Planned Parenthood promotes adoption by outsourcing
adoption efforts to CPCs. Every Planned Parenthood
counselor who, after two hours mandatory pre-abortion
counselling, discovers that a woman no longer wants
an abortion, will send that woman to a CPC.
> They would look to abortion, while legal, as
> an absolute last resort to be considered for
> medical reasons only.
An arbitrary attitude which defines "medical
reasons" as "extreme medical reasons only".
The fact of the matter is that medical
reasons--severe to extreme--can be used to
justify ALL ABORTIONS, thus pro-choicers
ALREADY look at abortion as "an absolute last
resort to be considered for medical reasons".
> Instead, they continue to push the envelope with
> "partial birth abortion",
Intact dilation and extraction is used when removing
the fetus' head would present a health problem for
the woman in question.
I don't see any major anti-abortion campaign against
Dilation & Curettage, an abortion method which slowly
cuts up the fetus into pieces while it is still in
the womb, starting with the feet.
Seems to me someone in power in the anti-abortion
movement has no problem with permitting fetuses to
be slowly diced from the feet up, since those in
power in the anti-abortion movement need at least
ONE late-term abortion method to satisfy their
promises of "abortions for women to save their lives"!
Or are those promises merely "lip service" in an
attempt to garner more support, then will be swiftly
discarded if anti-abortion folks ever gain control?
> infanticide,
Prove that the pro-choicers support infanticide.
Citations, documentation? I didn't think so.
> euthanasia,
Depends on the program. I oppose Holland's program
of giving the doctor sole power over the patient's
euthanasia. Killing yourself, while only recommended
as a last resort, might save you months of extreme
pain from a terminal condition (mental illness not
included).
> and other devises for eliminating those deemed
> "unfit".
Lets see, you claim, without any proof, that the
pro-choice movement sponsors infanticide, promotes
abortion above any other choice in pregnancy, and
now claim that Holland's program of allowing people
other than the patient to decide euthanasia is
the program of choice for pro-choicers.
But when it comes to attacking the "unfit", as
defined by eugenicists, there is a group which
happens to be largely anti-abortion, which is
also in favor of much the same "destruction of
the unfit".
The GOP is a major supporter of cutting welfare
assistance to the disabled and to the poor, as
evidenced by their support of restricting the
scope of the Americans with Disabilities Act,
and their constant attacks on welfare.
By a startling coincidence, a certain dictator
whose name we cannot utter thanks to Godwin's
Law, also came up with the idea that the disabled
didn't need rights and that welfare was a stupid
idea and should be cut back to nothing as soon
as possible.
Get the beam out of your own eye before you argue
about the mote in Margaret Sanger's eye!

the period of Nazi control of Germany, was put
into print EIGHTEEN YEARS before Hitler gained
control of Germany!
The Birth Control Review, February 1919.

Don't forget the pivotal point in her career,
1929, when she *stopped editing* the "BIRTH

since almost all of the negative language

magazines dated *after* 1929.

THE BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW
February 1919
"Eugenists imply or insist that a woman's
first duty is to the state; we contend
that her duty to herself is her first
duty to the state. We maintain that a
woman possessing an adequate knowledge
of her reproductive functions is the
best judge of the time and conditions
under which her child should be brought
into the world. We further maintain that
it is her right, regardless of all other
considerations, to determine whether she
shall bear children or not, and how many
children she shall bear if she chooses to
become a mother."

Yup, sure sounds like she wasn't in favor
of "choice"!

Frankly, I'd have to see proof of the IPPF "forcing
sterilizations", "forcing abortions", and "committing
infanticide", before these allegations should be
taken seriously. The population control program of
China is already well known, and it takes very little
effort to try and paint groups also working in China
with the same brush. It takes proof to make the
reverse-whitewashing stick!

And if you were a believer of the social darwinist
theories that essentially make up EUGENICS, you
would say things like this. (remember that:
Social Darwinism is just a whitewashed term for
EUGENICS)
But you'll note one important fact about Margaret
Sanger: compared to the majority of eugenicists of
her day, she was opposed to the application of
eugenics based on racist principles. I.e., that
individuals could be inferior, but not entire
population groups!
Ironically, this put her in the "moderate" group
of eugenicists of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
> Sanger advocated, in her own words, the

Her *exact words* were the placing of
"illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals,
prostitutes, [and] dope-fiends" ... "on farms
and open spaces as long as necessary for the
strengthening and development of moral conduct."
By a startling contrast, the GOP supports much
the same policy through the segregation of the
incredibly illiterate prison population of
America, whose numbers include "dope-fiends,
criminals, prostitutes, etc.". Some in the
GOP have suggested Margaret Sanger's idea of
making prisoners work on farms.
I guess it just matters which side you're on.
If you're aligned with Margaret Sanger, then your
ideas of segregating criminals from the rest of
the population and making them work must be EVIL.
If you're aligned with the GOP, then your ideas
of segregating criminals from the rest of the
population and making them work must be GOOD.
> and for the "sterilization of genetically

I'd need an exact citation or quote on this one.
I suspect that the author of this propaganda
piece is merely using the word "races" in place
of "individuals".
Throughout her life, Margaret Sanger argued that
only individuals, not entire population groups,
could be "inferior" to a eugenics standard.
Incidentally, a text search of The Pivot of
Civilization, using the word "race", does NOT
produce the phrase "sterilization of genetically
inferior races" ANYWHERE within Pivot!
Must be putting words into the mouth of Margaret
Sanger again! Is there ANY proof of Margaret
Sanger being a racist which is not a deliberate
falsehood???
> She contended that in order to "save the planet",

Interestingly enough, this sentence here does not
jibe with earlier claims that Margaret Sanger
wanted the government to FORCE sterilizations and/or
FORCE reproductive control on anyone!

The problem here is that by trying to give birth

I'm interested in any exact citations of where,
within the pages of The Birth Control Review, exists
the proof for any of these allegations. An allegation
without a citation is effectively a FALSE allegation.
And since the author is unwilling to check the facts
of the claim listed below, the claims listed above
are automatically suspect.

Race relations supporters who were
involved in the Negro Project:
W.E.B. DuBois, the Founder of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, and one of the BOARD OF DIRECTORS
for the "Negro Project".
Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of the National
Council of Negro Women
Adam Clayton Powell Jr., pastor of the
Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem
Eleanor Roosevelt, the most visible and
compassionate supporter of racial equality
in her era
Albert and Mary Lasker, the medical
philanthropists whose financial support
made the project possible
The most prominent supporters of race
equality were actively supporting a
project designed to "kill off blacks"?

Exact Article Quote, in context:
"It seems to me from my experience ... in
North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas,
that while the colored Negroes have great
respect for white doctors, they can get closer
to their own members and more or less lay their

Again, the word "dysgenic" appears only in
conjunction with "the human race", and not
in conjunction with any specific race.
It seems that a bit of wishful thinking on
the part of the anti-abortion movement has
turned into actual DOGMA.

Xtianity, at the time and even today, continues
to hold an "immediate post-Black Death ideal" of
repopulating the earth. The authority of Christian
churches is what, for example, causes girls in
Mississippi to forgo birth control, even as they
have sex with their boyfriends to avoid losing them.
Xtianity has caused more and bloodier wars than
any other religion in the world. Xtian attitudes
against birth control and in favor of huge families
have caused untold suffering when huge families try
to live in urban areas.
Her position is one which has some credibility,
albeit her position on charity also has a lot to
do with her opposition to Xtianity.

How hilarious! "The pro-abortion people,
if they were really pro-choice, would be
anti-abortion"!
Does this guy even understand ENGLISH?
Anti-abortion is AGAINST CHOICE, because it
opposes the ONLY OTHER CHOICE in pregnancy!
Adoption REQUIRES childbirth, so it is not
an "alternative" to childbirth. Abortion,
as an alternative to childbirth, is an
alternative to childbirth!
Pro-choicers ALREADY support reduced abortions!

Which would be easy if all those damned
studies using the scientific method and anti-bias
stuff wouldn't keep coming up in favor of NO
psychological damage to women after abortions!
As for the potential and actual physical
complications, the comparison is often made
between childbirth's complications and
abortion's complications, with the obvious
winner being the LESSER complications, the
abortion procedure.
> It would be easy for them to promote adoption,
It would be easy if adoption were an alternative
to CHILDBIRTH, but wait, no, it isn't an alternative
to childbirth, so how can it be an alternative to
abortion?
> as there are thousands of couples who are
> waiting to adopt a baby.
Waiting to adopt a healthy, white baby, you mean.
Planned Parenthood promotes adoption by outsourcing
adoption efforts to CPCs. Every Planned Parenthood
counselor who, after two hours mandatory pre-abortion
counselling, discovers that a woman no longer wants
an abortion, will send that woman to a CPC.
> They would look to abortion, while legal, as
> an absolute last resort to be considered for
> medical reasons only.
An arbitrary attitude which defines "medical
reasons" as "extreme medical reasons only".
The fact of the matter is that medical
reasons--severe to extreme--can be used to
justify ALL ABORTIONS, thus pro-choicers
ALREADY look at abortion as "an absolute last
resort to be considered for medical reasons".
> Instead, they continue to push the envelope with
> "partial birth abortion",
Intact dilation and extraction is used when removing

Lets see, you claim, without any proof, that the
pro-choice movement sponsors infanticide, promotes
abortion above any other choice in pregnancy, and
now claim that Holland's program of allowing people
other than the patient to decide euthanasia is
the program of choice for pro-choicers.
But when it comes to attacking the "unfit", as
defined by eugenicists, there is a group which
happens to be largely anti-abortion, which is
also in favor of much the same "destruction of
the unfit".
The GOP is a major supporter of cutting welfare
assistance to the disabled and to the poor, as
evidenced by their support of restricting the
scope of the Americans with Disabilities Act,
and their constant attacks on welfare.
By a startling coincidence, a certain dictator
whose name we cannot utter thanks to Godwin's
Law, also came up with the idea that the disabled
didn't need rights and that welfare was a stupid
idea and should be cut back to nothing as soon
as possible.
Get the beam out of your own eye before you argue
about the mote in Margaret Sanger's eye!

Only because you HOPE no one will look further: at Margaret Sanger's

as a eugenicist of the first order.

And Sanger and her ilk were already forced-sterilizing select groups
in the US, long before Nazi Germany's eugenics policies.
These were the same policies that Hitler's racial purification move
started with. They moved on to actually EXTERMINATING groups later
on.

Really? I recall most of it does not come from any later than the
'20s.
This quote does nothing to contradict her anti-reproductive rights
views regarding groups other than [intellectually competent] women
of child-bearing age.
Eugenics is the antithesis of reproductive rights. Yet, we observe
that the original impetous for what became later known as the
"abortion rights movement" was eugenicists like Margaret Sanger! The
eupehemisms regarding the killing of unborn humans ("family
planning", "reproductive rights", "bodily autonomy", etc) were
invented by eugenicists like Sanger - in particular, when she
renamed the organisation in the mid-40s from the Birth Control
League to "Planned Parenthood". Yet the organization and its members
didn't change. Eugenics is what the pro-abortion movement was
founded on.
The abortion industry is still promoting the eugenics agenda since
Blacks and Hispanics are far more likely to abort than Whites.
Eugenicists continue find a home in the abortion movement. Their
goals are alive and well today because they haven't been realized.
When a dirty little pro-abort like you shills for Sanger you prove
my point.

The lying apologists - like you - of every population control and
pro-abortion organization at work are not interested in the facts.
That they clearly ignore the reality of forced abortion and
sterilization in China, and its support by the International Planned
Parenthood Federation and the UN Population Fund, which they
continue to shill for, is just proof that they don't give a damn
about "reproductive rights".
Population control, such as that in China, by necessity requires at
least coercion. You know this - but, liars like you are more
concerned with defending the self-proclaimed "pro-choice"
organizations that we KNOW continue to commit abuses in the name of
population control.
Perhaps the original writer was mistaken in the attribution of the
publication title.
Consider a search for '+"human weeds" +sanger'
http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=%2b%22human+weeds%22+%2bsanger&hc=0&hs=0
This reveals many references to Margaret Sanger's writings.

The above quote isn't representative of EVERYTHING Margaret said.
Anyone perusing the many web sites devoted to this topic finds ample
material, from her own pen, condemning her for the pro-Hitler piece

Was Hitler a eugenicist and racist?
"blah blah"
Your tortured bullshit does nothing to avoid the fact that the
abortion movement was founded by eugenicists like Sanger. You'd
obviously be more than a little troubled by this fact... For one
thing, it's what proves that there is no need for "abortion rights"
as it exists - that it is of no gain to women because EUGENICISTS -
of all people - were there first. And, likewise, the early feminists
were anti-abortion: they certainly didn't trump it up as an actual
GAIN for women - the way today's radical anti-fertility misogynistic
"feminists" do.
Overall, your weak attempts at revisionism of Margaret Sanger's life
show that you people perhaps should have distanced yourselves FROM
HER instead of HER from her OWN BELIEFS! Perhaps Sanger is turning
in her grave?
Thanks.
Stuff I couldn't include because Deja.com limits message
size: Eugenics was quite commonly accepted as a legitimate
science by America in the 40+ year period from 1914 to
around 1948. If you graduated from high school during this
period, you graduated only by accepting eugenics as a
legitimate science, at least giving it lip service on your
tests. A majority of high school biology textbooks included
an entire chapter on eugenics.
Eugenics wasn't some fringe movement in America, it was
*mainstream*.
Ironically, Margaret Sanger was a moderate when it came
to eugenics thought: while she had definite ideas about
voluntary sterilization of people with disabling
hereditary conditions, she refused to apply eugenics
with racial bias, a difference which set her against
the majority of eugenicists of her day.
Anti-abortion folks like to tell us that the educated
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who grew up DURING the
Negro Project and was aware of the existence of the
*beginnings* of Margaret Sanger's movement, "must not
have known about her eugenics or her racism". This
is tantamount to calling him a FOOL.
Why does the anti-abortion movement insist that most
of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement in America,
most of whom respected and admired Margaret Sanger,
are FOOLS?
As for "her own words", you and other anti-abortion
folks enjoy putting words in Margaret Sanger's mouth
and then claiming that they are her own words. So no,
I believe a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
over one of your wild, unsubstantiated claims.

A eugenicist of the first order of the 1920s, 1930s,
and 1940s demanded FORCED removal from the gene pool,
and RACIAL application of eugenics principles!
Margaret Sanger, by contrast, requested VOLUNTARY
removal from the gene pool, and OPPOSED racial
application of eugenics principles every time
it was attempted!
Clearly, I'm not worried about anyone looking at
her own writings, since proving anything RACIST
about her takes a LIE!

Then either your memory is failing or you're
making yet another unsubstatiated claim.
The BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW continued through at
least 1939. I cannot honestly claim there
were any issues after 1939 since my local
library does not have any bound issues after
1939.
The important point, which needs to be reiterated,
is that both Negro Number issues, the issues from
which much of the misattributed "Margaret Sanger
Quotes" come from, DID NOT INVOLVE Margaret
Sanger in ANY WAY.
Margaret Sanger wanted VOLUNTARY sterilizations
of such women, not the more mainstream eugenics
view that such sterilizations should be FORCED.

Then its just as well the Birth Control League
and later on, Planned Parenthood, didn't
support mainstream eugenics. After all, it
doesn't pay to support your ENEMIES.

The original impetus of the birth control movement
had many factors, but two principle ones were
the prevention of childbirth deaths in women
caused largely by overbearing of children; and
the reduction in size of families to help
prevent overcrowding (which leads naturally to
disease and death from disease) and help keep
income and other resources from becoming
overstretched (which led to malnutrition,
starvation, and death).

Eugenics is what the "Social Darwinism" movement
was founded on, and Social Darwinists thrive
quite nicely in their home territory, the GOP.

The eugenics agenda is the government control
of the reproductive process. Since abortions
are currently only the CHOICE of INDIVIDUALS,
and not forced on them by ANY ORGANIZATION in
the U.S.A., I don't see where you can claim
that eugenics is being served by legal abortions.
Blacks and Hispanics also continue to hold an
income level well below their White counterparts,
and through factors unrelated to genetics have
less education than their White counterparts. Its
not surprising that a poorer, less educated group
doesn't have as much access to birth control as
a richer, more educated group.
You don't even need to bring in wild,
unsubstantiated claims to explain why minorities
have more abortions than whites!
> Eugenicists continue find a home in the
> abortion movement.
Actually, they find a home in the GOP, since the
pro-choice movement has always been and remains
very much opposed to the goals of the eugenics
movement. The GOP, by contrast, shares many of
the same goals as the eugenics movement.
> Their goals are alive and well today because
> they haven't been realized.
Still, the GOP is working very hard to realize the
goals of the eugenics movement:
[1] Government control of a woman's reproductive
processes.
[2] Denial of assistance to the infirm, the elderly,
"those with disabling, hereditary conditions".
[3] Denial of rights to the infirm, the elderly,
"those with disabling, hereditary conditions".
Number [3] has already been realized through
the limiting of the ADA. Welfare DESTRUCTION
and denial of medical assistance to the infirm
and the elderly top the list of the GOP in Congress.

Yes, and I know that the IPPF is not involved with

sterilizations". One might as well attempt to

does work in China, they also "assist forced abortions,
infanticides, and sterilizations". I don't seriously

("Killer Angels" page 65)
"In 1939, Margaret Sanger organized a "Negro

Black Genocide:
Planned Parenthood's Evil Roots
by Diane Dew
http://hometown.aol.com/DianeSDew/black.htm
"The purpose in promoting birth control was "to
create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in
The Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)"
[This remark, again attributed originally to
Sanger, was made by Dr. Edward A. Kempf and
has been cited out of context and with
distorted meaning. Dr. Kempf, a progressive
physician, was actually arguing for state
endowment of maternal and infant care clinics.
It was in this spirit that Sanger used the
phrase, "Birth Control: To Create a Race of
Thoroughbreds," as a banner on the November
1921 issue of THE BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW.
(Differing slogans on the theme of voluntary
family planning sometimes appeared under the
title of THE REVIEW, e.g., "Dedicated to the
Cause of Voluntary Motherhood," January 1928.)]
"More children from the fit, less from the
unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth
control." (Birth Control Review, May 1919,
p. 12)"
[A quotation falsely attributed to Margaret
Sanger, this statement was made by the editors
of AMERICAN MEDICINE in a review of an article
by Sanger. The editorial from which this
appeared, as well as Sanger's article, "Why
Not Birth Control Clinics in America?", were
reprinted side-by-side in the May 1919 BIRTH
CONTROL REVIEW.]

We are discussing eugenics, the eugenics currently
being practiced by the GOP. Eugenics, after all,
did call for the segregation of criminals away from
society, and desired to cut all funding towards
preventing the poor from becoming criminals.

David Rasmussen can vouch that when he proved that

I was still correct in that she and her organization
and the magazine she founded were not *racist* and
opposed the application of eugenics for *racist*
reasons, but I admitted to being wrong.
You, on the other hand, are unable and unwilling to
admit error, choosing instead to change the subject

argue against my PROOF.

You're changing the subject, since you obviously

which is not a deliberate falsehood!!
Thanks for conceding that you have no proof that
Margaret Sanger was a racist.
[rest of posting continued in another posting]
Anti-abortion folks like to tell us that the educated
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who grew up DURING the
Negro Project and was aware of the existence of the
*beginnings* of Margaret Sanger's movement, "must not
have known about her eugenics or her racism". This
is tantamount to calling him a FOOL.
Why does the anti-abortion movement insist that most
of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement in America,
most of whom respected and admired Margaret Sanger,
are FOOLS?
As for "her own words", you and other anti-abortion
folks enjoy putting words in Margaret Sanger's mouth
and then claiming that they are her own words. So no,
I believe a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
over one of your wild, unsubstantiated claims.

A eugenicist of the first order of the 1920s, 1930s,
and 1940s demanded FORCED removal from the gene pool,
and RACIAL application of eugenics principles!
Margaret Sanger, by contrast, requested VOLUNTARY
removal from the gene pool, and OPPOSED racial
application of eugenics principles every time
it was attempted!
Clearly, I'm not worried about anyone looking at
her own writings, since proving anything RACIST
about her takes a LIE!

Then either your memory is failing or you're
making yet another unsubstatiated claim.
The BIRTH CONTROL REVIEW continued through at
least 1939. I cannot honestly claim there
were any issues after 1939 since my local
library does not have any bound issues after
1939.
The important point, which needs to be reiterated,
is that both Negro Number issues, the issues from
which much of the misattributed "Margaret Sanger
Quotes" come from, DID NOT INVOLVE Margaret
Sanger in ANY WAY.

Then its just as well the Birth Control League
and later on, Planned Parenthood, didn't
support mainstream eugenics. After all, it
doesn't pay to support your ENEMIES.

The original impetus of the birth control movement
had many factors, but two principle ones were
the prevention of childbirth deaths in women
caused largely by overbearing of children; and
the reduction in size of families to help
prevent overcrowding (which leads naturally to
disease and death from disease) and help keep
income and other resources from becoming
overstretched (which led to malnutrition,
starvation, and death).

Eugenics is what the "Social Darwinism" movement
was founded on, and Social Darwinists thrive
quite nicely in their home territory, the GOP.

The eugenics agenda is the government control
of the reproductive process. Since abortions
are currently only the CHOICE of INDIVIDUALS,
and not forced on them by ANY ORGANIZATION in
the U.S.A., I don't see where you can claim
that eugenics is being served by legal abortions.
Blacks and Hispanics also continue to hold an
income level well below their White counterparts,
and through factors unrelated to genetics have
less education than their White counterparts. Its
not surprising that a poorer, less educated group
doesn't have as much access to birth control as
a richer, more educated group.
You don't even need to bring in wild,
unsubstantiated claims to explain why minorities
have more abortions than whites!
> Eugenicists continue find a home in the
> abortion movement.
Actually, they find a home in the GOP, since the
pro-choice movement has always been and remains
very much opposed to the goals of the eugenics
movement. The GOP, by contrast, shares many of
the same goals as the eugenics movement.
> Their goals are alive and well today because
> they haven't been realized.
Still, the GOP is working very hard to realize the
goals of the eugenics movement:
[1] Government control of a woman's reproductive
processes.
[2] Denial of assistance to the infirm, the elderly,
"those with disabling, hereditary conditions".
[3] Denial of rights to the infirm, the elderly,
"those with disabling, hereditary conditions".
Number [3] has already been realized through
the limiting of the ADA. Welfare DESTRUCTION
and denial of medical assistance to the infirm
and the elderly top the list of the GOP in Congress.

We are discussing eugenics, the eugenics currently
being practiced by the GOP. Eugenics, after all,
did call for the segregation of criminals away from
society, and desired to cut all funding towards
preventing the poor from becoming criminals.
Just like the GOP is currently fighting for.

And yet you don't have one, and the "search" you
suggested I do turns up only unsubstantiated
claims or claims founded on KNOWN LIARS like
George Grant.

David Rasmussen can vouch that when he proved that
Margaret Sanger held some eugenics views, I admitted
to being wrong about the fact that she did hold some
eugenics views.
I was still correct in that she and her organization
and the magazine she founded were not *racist* and
opposed the application of eugenics for *racist*
reasons, but I admitted to being wrong.
You, on the other hand, are unable and unwilling to
admit error, choosing instead to change the subject
or make yet another unsubstantiated claim to try and
argue against my PROOF.

You're changing the subject, since you obviously
have no "proof" of Margaret Sanger being a racist
which is not a deliberate falsehood!!
Thanks for conceding that you have no proof that
Margaret Sanger was a racist.

Lying little sneaks like yourself are often bored by
FACTS, since they so often contradict your wild,
unsubstantiated claims.
But thanks for conceding every single point I made
by admitting that you have no proof to rebut anything
I said above.

I see. Ad hominem coupled with an unsubstantiated
claim that I'm wrong.

The pro-choice movement was founded by women who
wanted to have power over their own bodies.
Eugenics, being AGAINST an individual woman's
control over her own body, more closely resembles
the anti-abortion movement than the pro-choice
movement.
The one who should be troubled about any
comparisons is yourself, not me.

After all, it is a smack in the face of "racial
purity" folks whenever a woman of any race chooses
to obtain an abortion. In fact, its a smack in
the face of "racial purity" folks whenever a woman
of any race chooses to continue to term.
Pro-choicers support DOUBLE SMACKING of eugenicists,
WHACK WHACK!
The anti-abortion movement, in contrast, supports
SMACKING them on one cheek and KISSING them on the
other! WHACK SMOOCH!

Lessee, what is the opposite of eugenics, i.e.,
the government control of the reproductive process?
Wouldn't it be the complete freedom of women to
make any reproductive decision they desire without
the government forcing them into a choice they
don't want?
Seems like your movement looks more and more like
eugenics every day.
Pro-choicers, if they ever had any eugenics ideas
like the VOLUNTARY ones proposed by Margaret Sanger,
clearly have decided that dropping them is a good
idea.
Your movement is so stupid it can't even see that
when it condemns the desire to make the government
control reproduction, it is condemning parts of
its own movement which likewise desire the government
to control reproduction!
> And, likewise, the early feminists were anti-abortion:
Only because of the DANGER of abortion in the early
part of this century!
When medical science improved, feminists saw that
abortion was SAFER than childbirth, and knew that
they had an option...provided the folks like the
eugenicists and the anti-abortion folks didn't get
their hands on power over the female reproductive
process!
Margaret Sanger is purported to have made a
"justification" of abortion in her book "Women and
the New Race". It is important to note the context
of the chapter in which this is presented: the fact
that denial of birth control to women only forces
them to use abortion to control their births. In
other words, her "justification" is actually a
condemnation of any society which restricts a
woman's access to reliable birth control methods.

WOMEN AND THE NEW RACE
CHAPTER X
CONTRACEPTIVES OR ABORTION?
=====================================
"Thus a high percentage of women in comfortable
circumstances escape overbreeding by the use of
contraceptives. A similarly high percentage of
women not in comfortable circumstances are forced
to submit to forced maternity, because their only
alternative at present is abortion. When accidental
conception takes place, some women of both classes
resort to abortion if they can obtain the services
of an abortionist."
"When society holds up its hands in horror at the
"crime" of abortion, it forgets at whose door the
first and principal responsibility for this practice
rests. Does anyone imagine that a woman would submit
to abortion if not denied the knowledge of scientific,
effective contraceptives? Does anyone believe that
physicians and midwives who perform abortions go from
door to door soliciting patronage? The abortionist
could not continue his practice for twenty-four hours
if it were not for the fact that women come desperately
begging for such operations. He could not stay out of
jail a day if women did not so generally approve of
his services as to hold his identity an open but
seldom-betrayed secret."
"The question, then, is not whether family limitation
should be practiced. It is being practiced; it has
been practiced for ages and it will always be practiced.
The question that society must answer is this: Shall
family limitation be achieved through birth control or
abortion? Shall normal, safe, effective contraceptives
be employed, or shall we continue to force women to the
abnormal, often dangerous surgical operation?"
=====================================
[the part often taken out of context by anti-abortion
folks, the last paragraph:]
"The woman who goes to the abortionist's table is not
a criminal but a martyr,
a martyr to the bitter, unthinkable conditions brought
about by the blindness of society at large. These
conditions give her the choice between the surgeon's
instruments and the sacrificing of what is highest and
holiest in her, her aspiration to freedom, her desire
to protect the children already hers."
=====================================

You're comparing apples and oranges.
In the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, abortion was
DANGEROUS. Any woman with an ounce of sense
and who had no interest whatsoever in
protecting the fetus, was STILL anti-abortion
for purely woman-centric reasons! See above
for Margaret Sanger's own words denouncing
abortion, in her own book (published 1920)
"Women and the New Race."
Abortion rights only became a GAIN for women
when medical science made abortions SAFER than
childbirth.
> Overall, your weak attempts at revisionism
Revisionism? I'm quoting her own words, therefore
I'm "revising her words"?
So REWRITING and MAKING UP Margaret Sanger's
words is "accurate reporting of Margaret Sanger"?
I see, so thats why you guys use so many misquotes
and misattributions of Margaret Sanger in your
arguments: you think that lying is being truthful
and that being truthful is actually lying!
Thank you, that answers so many questions about
the anti-abortion movement!
> of Margaret Sanger's life show that you people
> perhaps should have distanced yourselves FROM
> HER instead of HER from her OWN BELIEFS!
Actually, we merely point out her own beliefs.
You, on the other hand, put words in her mouth
and rewrite what she has written, then claim
that her own words and her own written text are
"revisionist".
> Perhaps Sanger is turning in her grave?
Margaret Sanger died happy in the knowledge that
she opposed the eugenicists in their plans to
take over women's reproductive decisions and
force women into reproductive options they don't
want.
Its a good thing she didn't live to see you guys
attempt to make the goals of her opposition,
mainstream eugenicists, a REALITY.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Eleanor Roosevelt
are the ones turning in their graves, since you and
every single anti-abortion apologist person is
calling them FOOLS.
