When you look at the millions of dead black babies in America over the last 35 years due to abortion, and the ongoing targeting of Planned Barrenhood’s ghoulish “services” in their community, you have to say that Margaret Sanger’s evil “dream” has been realized. She’s right up there, or should I say down there, in the same class as Hitler and Stalin.
“One can only wonder how abortion rights came to be adopted by liberals in the Democratic Party, or any other party.”
Same applies ti the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. It’s one thing to have honest disagreements about what our foreign policy should be, or when some of the extremes of capitalism become unconscionable, it’s something else to adopt flat out stupid ideas that are contrary to the principles you otherwise espouse

Margaret Sanger founder of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, was a proponent of forced eugenics, segregation, abortion, birth control and sexual immorality. Here are some of her quotes.
“The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
Margaret Sanger (editor). The Woman Rebel, Volume I, Number 1. Reprinted in Woman and the New Race. New York: Brentanos Publishers, 1922.
“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”
Margaret Sanger. Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the 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.”
Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon’s Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
“Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock.”
Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review.
“Eugenics is
the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.
Margaret Sanger. “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda.” Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
“Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives.”
[no source available at this time...]
As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the ‘unfit’ and the ‘fit,’ admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation....
On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
Margaret Sanger. “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda.” Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
“The campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the final aims of eugenics.”
Margaret Sanger. “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda.” Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
“Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.”
Margaret Sanger. The Pivot of Civilization, 1922. Chapter on “The Cruelty of Charity,” pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore College Library edition.
“The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind.”
Margaret Sanger, quoted in Charles Valenza. “Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?” Family Planning Perspectives, January-February 1985, page 44.
“The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their support. There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped.”
Margaret Sanger. Speech quoted in Birth Control: What It Is, How It Works, What It Will Do. The Proceedings of the First American Birth Control Conference. Held at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, November 11-12, 1921. Published by the Birth Control Review, Gothic Press, pages 172 and 174.

“[Our objective is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children...”

“Give dysgenic groups [people with ‘bad genes’] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization.”
Margaret Sanger, April 1932 Birth Control Review.
“As we celebrate the 100th birthday of Margaret Sanger, our outrageous and our courageous leader, we will probably find a number of areas in which we may find more about Margaret Sanger than we thought we wanted to know...”
Faye Wattleton, Past-president of Planned Parenthood
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the American Baby Code that states, “No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child without a permit for parenthood”.
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the Population Congress with the aim, “...to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.”

Depending how you look at it, Margaret Sanger is very possibly responsible for more genocide than any person in history.
Irony: Faye Wattleton is black. Good thing for Faye her mother didn’t follow Sanger’s advice.
I agree!
"Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history."
The Egyptians wanted to exterminate the Hebrews because they were afraid of their growing numbers (Exodus 1) but it backfired on them (Hebrews continued to grow, their percentage of the population shrunk). Same seems true in the USA — white elitists and even white conservatives often see birth reduction in positive terms yet the people doing most of the birth controlling and abortions are white and of a middle income background.
Appalling how much evil can come from one human being.
Margaret Sanger was for all those things EXCEPT abortion. She opposed abortion ... but she was for forced sterilization and forced contraceptives of undesirables.
She was pre-emptive in her approach to eugenics, not retro-active.

Margaret Sanger was Evil Incarnate. The babies that survived Sanger were ofter RUINED by Dr. Spock!!
Legalization of abortion worldwide came about because of Sanger and her culture of death disciples. And worldwide, abortion claims over 95 lives A MINUTE.
When you ask people who was responsible for the most genocide in history, they will always list Hitler, Stalin and Mao. But the truth is that two racist American women, Margaret Sanger and Rachel Carson (the author of “Silent Spring” which resulted in the ban of DDT and the deaths of untold numbers of Africans) probably trump all three.
This is exactly why liberals support abortion so passionately. It’s the main sacrament of their religion precisely for the reasons Sanger supported it. They know that they can use it to build not a race of “supermen” but a race of dependents who “need” liberals. Then they can’t be removed from power, so they believe.
Liberals like minorities as long as they’re kept down. If they actually try to succeed, that’s “uppity” and they must be put back “in their place” or simply made not to exist.

As Delivered
Thank you very much for inviting me to say a few words of welcome. This event shows that people of different political parties and different political thinking can unite in support of choice. In doing so, we are upholding a distinguished tradition that began in our city starting with the work of Margaret Sanger and the movement for reproductive freedom that began in the early decades of the 20th century.
As a Republican who supports a woman’s right to choose, it is particularly an honor to be here. And I would like to explain, just for one moment, why I believe being in favor of choice is consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. In fact, it might be more consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. Because the Republican Party stands for the idea that you have to restore more freedom of choice, more opportunity, more opportunity for people to make their own choices rather than the government dictating those choices. Republicans stand for lower taxation because we believe that people can make better choices with their money than the government will make for them, and that ultimately frees the economy and produces more political freedom. We believe that, yes, government is important, but that the private sector is actually more important in solving our problems.
So it is consistent with that philosophy to believe that in the most personal and difficult choices that a woman has to make with regard to a pregnancy, those choices should be made based on that person’s conscience and that person’s way of thinking and feeling. The government shouldn’t dictate that choice by making it a crime or making it illegal.
I think that’s actually a much more consistent position. Many Republicans support that position, but you don’t hear that as often. For example, in a recent poll by American Viewpoint, 65 percent of Republicans supported changing the plank in the Republican platform that calls for a constitutional ban on abortion. That’s 6.5 out of every 10 Republicans. And over 80 percent of Republicans believe that the decision with regard to an abortion should be made by a woman, her doctor, and her family rather than dictated by the government.
[Applause]
In any case, I just wanted you to know that many of my fellow Republicans stand with you on this issue. So I thank you, I thank NARAL for taking the lead in establishing freedom of choice for all of us, and as the Mayor of New York City, I thank you for being here in New York City.

I’m sure you may have read this piece. Sanger’s ideals did indeed inspire and reach Mr. Hitler and his fellow eugenicists.
