Was Margaret Sanger a racist?
"Margaret Sanger, as a young public health nurse, witnessed the sickness, disease and poverty caused by unwanted pregnancies. She spent the rest of her life trying to alleviate these conditions by bringing birth control to America. During the early 20th century, the idea of making contraceptives generally available was revolutionary. Contraceptive usage was considered a distinguishing feature of the 'haves.' In recent years, some revisionist biographers have portrayed Sanger as a eugenicist and a racist. This view has been widely publicized by critics of reproductive rights who have attempted to discredit Sanger's work by discrediting her personally. The basic concept of the eugenics movement in the 1920s and 1930s was that a better breed of humans would be created if the 'fit' had more children and the 'unfit' had fewer. This concept influenced a broad spectrum of thought, but there was little consensus on the definitions of fit and unfit. In theory, the movement was not racist--its message intended to cross race barriers for the overall advancement of mankind. Most eugenicists agreed that birth control would be a detriment to the human race and were opposed to it. Charges that Sanger's motives for promoting birth control were eugenic are not supported. In part of her most important work, "Pivot of Civilization," Sanger's dissent from eugenics was made clear. By examining extracts from her books, the author refutes the notion that Sanger was a eugenicist. Another unsupported argument raised by the anti-Sanger group was that Sanger, in her position as editor of "Birth Contol Review," published eugenicists' views. It would be more accurate to say that the review covered a wide range of opinions and research; the eugenicists views were included because they conferred respectability. David Kennedy, author of "Birth Control in America," does Sanger a grave injustice by falsely attributing to her the quotation: 'More children from the fit, less from the unfit--that is the chief issue of birth control.' This quotation should be attributed to the editors of "American Medicine." The only area Sanger is in agreement with the eugenicists is in her belief that severely retarded people should not bear children. Several authors, including Linda Gordon, argued that Sanger's interest in providing contraceptives to black Americans was motivated by racism. This notion is entirely misconstrued by distortions of language quoted by Sanger. Rather than wanting to exterminate the Negro population, Sanger wanted to cope with the fear of some blacks that birth control was the white man's way of reducing the black population". http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3884362 READING IS FUNDAMENTAL. |

This speaks to an issue I have repeatedly discussed, that people are not one dimensional, "good or bad" people. People are complex and layered. so people can exist in their lifetime and do things to be admired AND also do things to be deplored. Margaret did exploit racism, but she also provided much needed resources for women. She is few people's hero because of her stance on race. But she may be many peoples 'hero' when it comes to her contribution to women's health resources. I love R KELLY music because he is a talented musician. I don't love R Kelly's fetishes and kinks. I love Farrakhans overall wit and intelligence. I dont love Farrakhans more extreme views about white people. This is why I dont make 'heros' out of humans, because next to none have lived saintly lives and done only what was 'good and right' in them. R. Kelly's fetishes are little kids...….. |

7 Quotes from Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.” In a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble in December, 19, 1939, Sanger exposited her vision for the “Negro Project,” a freshly launched collaboration between the American Birth Control League and Sanger’s Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau. The letter echoes the eugenic ideologies still visible within the corporate vein of Planned Parenthood today. “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan.” In 1926, Sanger spoke at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1926 in Silver Lake, New Jersey. Following the invitation, Sanger describes her elation after receiving multiple speaking requests from white supremacy groups. She writes of the experience on page 366 of her book, An Autobiography: I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan … I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses … I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak … In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. “They are…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ’spawning… human beings who never should have been born.” In “Pivot of Civilization,” Sanger penned her thoughts regarding immigrants, the poor, and the error of philanthropy. Sanger’s ideology of racial and social hygiene bleeds through her writings on breeding an ideal human race: They are…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ’spawning… human beings who never should have been born. Organized charity itself is the symptom of a malignant social disease…Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks [of people] that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant. “Birth control is nothing more or less than…weeding out the unfit.” Sanger famously coined the term “birth control” with the intention of eliminating the reproduction of human beings who were considered “less fit.” In her writings from “Morality and Birth Control” and “Birth Control and the New Race,” the Planned Parenthood founder noted that the chief aim of the practice of birth control is to produce a “cleaner race.” Sanger’s vision for birth control was to prevent the birth of individuals whom she believed were unfit for mankind: “Human beings who never should have been born at all.” In “The Pivot of Civilization” and “A Plan for Peace,” Sanger describes the eugenic value of eliminating persons – minorities, the sick, and the disabled – through sterilization or segregation “I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world.” In an 1957 interview with journalist Mike Wallace, Sanger advocated that the greatest evil is a family that chooses to bring children into the world. Sanger, who advocated for a system requiring every American family to submit a request to the government to have a child, told America Weekly in 1934 that it has “become necessary to establish a system of BIRTH PERMITS” “But for my view, I believe that there should be no more babies.” In a 1947 interview that surfaced via the British Pathe, Sanger described her desire for women in the developed world to cease completely from reproduction. When asked by the reporter whether this would be impractical to ask women who desire children, but would no longer be able to conceive in 10 years, Sanger said, “I should think instead of being impractical, it is really very practical and intelligent and humane.” These are the very words of a racist. The Democrat/Socialist/Fascists wish to continue her vision of eugenics. But they won't defend innocent babies...for love of blood money. Yes, reading IS fundamental. Read this again. . |

It is terrible how the democratic party does support the murder of innocent babes lives . Millions of innocent lives murdered yearly. Yet they support ILLEGALS crossing Borders into the US. Of them includes criminals , who want to help Destroy the US. There is no argument just pure ignorance. I believe the Left wants us to "see" this evens out in the end. If they can just kill the same number of babies as illegals that come here, then everything is OK. I personally want MORE babies and LESS illegals. BUILD THAT WALL *I have the right to remain silent, but I do not have the ability. |

On the decline, Not ! to be clear: going from 1.6 million in FY2000 to 415 thousand in FY2016 is indeed DECLINING http://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Dec/BP%20Total%20Monthly%20Apps%20by%20Sector%20and%20Area%2C%20FY2000-FY2017.pdf |

The left, will always twist, spin, and use blatant deception, to achieve their goals. Everybody will always twist, spin, and use blatant deception, to achieve their goals. Thats why this story was posted about a woman that died over 50 yrs ago, and some things she said were close to 100 yrs ago (a much different time) The Pro-life people dug this stuff up (much of which is taken out of context) to shame the founder of planned parenthood, even thou Margaret Sanger never promoted abortion. The Catholic church is against birth control because they will do anything to get more Catholics so the Pope can rule the world. But we all know how that's working out, if them priest could have just left them alterboys alone they probably would have had a different out come of their future. |
