What is sobering is that Sanger’s opinion have now become the conventional wisdom. If one were to ask Barbara Bush many of the same questions she would be totally in accord with Sanger. Fact is that her husband probably agreed even after he proclaimed his “conversion “ to pro-life. This has become, in fact, elite opinion. Had become elite opinion by 1973 when the court embedded it in the constitution. Prolifers have been combating the views of the national elite, including those who call themselves Republican. No wonder that Republican leaders only given lip service to pro-life measures while Democrats thrown themselves on their swords for the cause of abortion.

In her book The Pivot of Civilization, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wrote that unless something was done to stop them, those living in the slums (blacks, Hispanics, and Jews) would eventually leave the boundaries of their neighborhoods and mix with the better parts of society (whites). Their inferior genes, she argued, would then infect the rest of us. Therefore, she suggested we cease all charitable giving to the inner-city poor, segregate these “morons, misfits, and maladjusted,” sterilize these “genetically inferior races,” and begin a process of eliminating such “human weeds.”

“And her organization, Planned Parenthood, has done just that. In the 1980s, the organization began intentionally targeting black inner-city neighborhoods for their clinics. Author George Grant pointed out that, ‘of the more than 100 school-based clinics that have opened nationwide in the [1980s]…all have been at black, minority, or ethnic schools.’ By 1991, Planned Parenthood was reporting that 43 percent of all its abortions were performed on minorities – a time when the minorities accounted for only 19 percent of the total population. And in a comparative analysis between the 2000 U.S. Census data and the location of Planned Parenthood clinics, Cybercast News Service concluded, ‘The results appear to bolster the charge that the organization targets black communities.’

Thank for post and link. Sanger was certainly a trailblazer - on the road to hell.

That is bizarre.

A quote from Sanger, found at:
http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/margaret-sanger-abortion-is-dangerous-and-vicious.html
.
“The real alternative to birth control is abortion,” wrote Dean Inge, [Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London]. It is an alternative that I cannot too strongly condemn. Although abortion may be resorted to in order to save the life of the mother, the practice of it merely for limitation of offspring is dangerous and vicious. [Emphasis added] I bring up the subject here only because some ill-informed persons have the notion that when we speak of birth control we include abortion as a method. We certainly do not. Abortion destroys the already fertilized ovum or the embryo; contraception, as I have carefully explained, prevents the fertilizing of the ovum by keeping the male cells away. Thus it prevents the beginning of life. [Source: Margaret Sanger, “Birth Control Advances: A Reply to the Pope,” 1931, Margaret Sanger Papers, Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College MSM S71-243.]
.
The fact remains that, even though Sanger may have not embraced abortion on demand, she was an early eugenicist and advocate of ‘birth control— which now, as often as not, includes abortifacients. The organization she founded and which we are now dealing with, is her legacy.

Margaret Sanger was a member of the Eugenics Society of Britain and also the American Eugenics Society. These societies were founded and run by famous evolutionists (Charles Darwin's son Leonard, Julian Huxley, Henry Osborn, etc.) Sanger was a eugenist. See here for more background: Darwinism and Eugenics

“Many prominent eugenicists, such as Ernst Rudin, close friend and advisor to Sanger and director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Psychiatry in Munich, filled the pages of her various publications with their radical racist ideology. She worked closely with almost every leading eugenicist of her time, including Harry Laughlin and Lothrop Stoddard, writer of the fascist book The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy. Her close ties with these men, especially some Nazi eugenicists, indicated that she, like much of the mainstream eugenics movement, was supportive of the German eugenics programs — a fact that she and her publicists would later deny.” — P. Jalsevac, The Inherent Racism of Population Control, LifeSite, 2004.
