They should be. Wasn't one of the original stated goals of PP eugenics?

Absolutely right. Kill off the "lower races" as well as other various "defectives". Another outfit complicit in this is, sadly, The March of Dimes, which figures the best way to "prevent birth defects" is to kill off the defectives.

Margaret Sanger (1883-1966)
Founder of Planned Parenthood

"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." ~ Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)

On blacks, immigrants and indigents:

"...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people.

On sterilization & racial purification:

Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.

On the right of married couples to bear children:

Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child, she wrote in her "Plan for Peace." Birth Control Review, April 1932

On the purpose of birth control:

The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)

On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:

"More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

And there's lots more here if you can stomach it:

Brainchild of Margeret Sanger.
