I have to agree with Time’s assessment that she is one of the most influential Americans of all time because her negative influence has been responsible for the deaths of millions, far exceeding that of Hitler’s influence in World War II, whom we usually cite as an example of a single person directly responsible for millions of deaths.

Over ONE BILLION deaths in the past century can be directly attributed to Sanger. Margaret Sanger is responsible for more deaths than all of the wars, acts of genocide, epidemics, famines and natural disasters in the history of the world combined.

Sadly, they’re right. We see her ‘influence’ in the over 50 million children who have been denied their right to life, through abortion since 1973. We also see it in the explosion of sexually transmitted diseases because of uninhibited sexual activity since the promotion of the oral contraceptive and its push by the feminist movement.

The President’s pro-abortion stance plays right into Sangers’ eugenic plan.

We can also see her negative influence in our economic condition right now, as pension funds and social security don’t have the necessary young workers paying into them to pay for the demographic bubble of the baby boomers.

Exactly! Ponzi schemes like Social Security and Medicare are viable as long as they have a predictably expanding population, Sanger made that impossible.

Well, if Margaret Sanger is to be considered one of the 20 most influential Americans of all time, can we consider Adolph Hitler one of the 20 most influential Germans of all time?

If “negative” and “anti-life” are the measure, then xsurely, she was a highly influencial person. For the 40 million or so who were never born, and those who would have been their descendents, not one, but two or three generations are already lost, much more devastating that a total annihilation of whole parts of the sum of all people in this land. Just about equal to the influx of foreign-born who came to this country either through relaxed “compassionate” admissions, or by less legal means, say like border-hopping or overstaying visa limitations.

Because of this mindset, America became a little less than it should have been. Maybe a lot less.

Margaret Sanger, Rachel Carson, Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao... All of them responsible for megadeaths, all for some professed “common good”.

It gives me the creeps. My grandmother spent her final days in the Margaret Sanger Nursing Home in NYC. I’m sure my father had no idea what a vile b*tch that woman was.

Hitler and Stalin and Marx also had “influence” on the world in a very NEGATIVE way.

The shooter in Aurora impacted a lot of families.

That is not enough to CELEBRATE someone.

Time-Lies.

Boycott Time-Warner.

I think you’re assuming “influential” has to be a positive thing; she was influential, just evil.

Recall that Time Magazine named Hitler “Man of the Year”.

Time also named Jim Jones "Man of the Year" back in 1978 and the Ayatollah in 1979; however, Time does point out that the designation is based on a person's impact, not on good or evil (though they did refrain from naming bin Laden in 2001).

Oddly enough, though, Sanger was against abortion. She was in favor of preventing pregnancy and eugenics but was not in favor of killing the unborn. Her movement and her name were both sullied by the pro-abortion crowd. She was still plenty evil, however, because of her elitist views on who should be allowed to procreate, etc.
