There long has been opposition to the bust honoring Margaret Sanger in Washington's National Portrait Gallery.
The eugenicist who founded Planned Parenthood addressed the Ku Klux Klan and inspired the Nazi sterilization law of 1933 and Nazi euthanasia laws.
Rep. Russ Fulcher, R-Idaho, has written a letter urging secretary of the Smithsonian, Lonnie G. Bunch, to remove Sanger's portrait.
He quoted from Bunch's recent statement: "Although it will be a monumental task, the past is replete with examples of ordinary people working together to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. History is a guide to a better future and demonstrates that we can become a better society – but only if we collectively demand it from each other and from the institutions responsible for administering justice."
"I could not agree more," Fulcher wrote.
That's why it is "so troubling," he said, that the National Portrait Gallery features a bust and portraits of Sanger.
"As our nation struggles to address racial injustice, it is unconscionable that an avowed racist and eugenicist is featured so prominently," he said, referring to the toppling of memorials to historic figures.
The Idaho congressman wrote: "I hope you will fulfill the lofty goals set forth on the gallery's website as it proclaims 'these Americans – artists, politicians, scientists, inventors, activists, and performers – form our national identity.'"
He said a "racist and eugenicist like Margaret Sanger should not help form our national identity."

But the Smithsonian refused, pointing out "there is no 'moral test' for people to be accepted into the National Portrait Gallery."
Killer Margaret Sanger.
Sanger’s eugenics plans inspired the Nazi sterilization law of 1933 and the subsequent Nazi euthanasia laws;
Her close associates Clarence Gamble, who funded Sanger and spoke at her conferences, and Lothrop Stoddard, who published in Sanger’s magazine and served on the board of her American Birth Control League, both knew about the Nazi sterilization and euthanasia programs and praised them, while Stoddard traveled to Germany where he met with top Nazi officials and even secured an audience with Hitler;
In 1939, as Hitler was devising his “final solutio.”
Sanger proposed her infamous “Negro Project,” in which she wrote “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”;
Racist?
Sanger was closely tied to Ernst Rudin, who served as Hitler’s director of genetic sterilization.
An April 1933 article by Rudin – entitled “Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need” – for Sanger’s monthly magazine, The Birth Control Review, detailed the establishment of the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene and advocated its replication in the United States. A subsequent article by Leon Whitney published the following June by Sanger, entitled “Selective Sterilization,” praises and defends the Third Reich’s pre-holocaust “race purification” program.
She also had her PLAN FOR PEACE...The idea of putting entire groups of people on farms for the rest of their lives... They weren’t fit to live in decent society...
The groups she wanted on the farms...DRUGGIES,HOOKERS,UNEMPLOYED,ILLITERATE etc...you could take her list today in washington DC and take out 80% of the population... Funny,PP never talks about THOSE IDEAS she had....
Great site: http://blackgenocide.org/home.html
The site speaks for itself.
I like their idea better. There is no need to destroy images/statues of people in history specifically because they were evil. They can provide ‘teaching moments’ as the left likes to call them.
Don’t they know she’s Saint Abortion?
Quotes from Margaret Sanger:
A stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation,” in work camps, is necessary for “that grade of population,” including illiterates, “whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.” — “A Plan for Peace,” in The Birth Control Review (April, 1932).
“The reproductive impulse” is “in continual conflict with our economic, political settlements, race adjustments and the like.” — The Pivot of Civilization.
“Under such circumstances we can hope that the “melting pot” will refine. We shall see that it will save the precious metals of racial culture, fused into an amalgam of physical perfection, mental strength and spiritual progress.” — Women and the New Race.
Hmm. What do you suppose the lady meant by “race adjustments,” and by “refining” the melting pot to purify “the precious metals of racial culture”?
Give up? Here are some clues.
Sanger wrote, “The lower down in the scale of human development we go, the less sexual control we find. It is said the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.” — What Every Girl Should Know (1912-1913).
In 1926, Sanger spoke to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, because “always to me any aroused group is a good group.” The event was a great success, and “A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on.” An Autobiography (1938).
