Margaret Sanger: birth control pioneer and feminist-fascist

Shell-shocked liberals have taken to dubbing conservatives as "Ku Klux Klan folks" and "neo-fascists" toting swastikas to town hall meetings. But ironically, turns out it's liberals who have engaged in a century-long pas de deux with fascistic ideology.

Take Margaret Sanger — public health nurse, rabid feminist, and avowed socialist. Doing her rounds in New York City's immigrant ghettos, she became enamored of the biological and political possibilities of birth control. A prolific writer, she churned out numerous books and articles. In Women and the New Race, Sanger ominously expounded: "No Socialist republic can operate successfully and maintain its ideals unless the practice of birth control is encouraged to a marked and efficient degree."

Margaret Sanger regarded members of both sexes with a decidedly misanthropic disdain. Of men she wrote, "In all of the animal species below the human, motherhood has a clearly discernible superiority over fatherhood....natural law makes the female the expression and the conveyor of racial efficiency."

Members of the female sex were equally worthy of contempt: "woman has, through her reproductive ability, founded and perpetuated the tyrannies of the Earth. Had she planned deliberately to achieve this tragic total of human waste and misery, she could hardly have done it more effectively."

Amazingly, Sanger was *against* abortion.

Make no mistake — she was crazy. She wanted to prevent pregnancies in a eugenical fashion.

But even a crazy woman like her recognized that the preborn were already here and should not be murdered in the womb.

Even so, it is sickening to me when radical feminists bow to this woman like she is some kind of heroine.

Traditional feminists know that Susan B. Anthony and all her peers rejected abortion, and *they* are the true heroines who pushed for *true* equality that wasn’t at the expense of the lives of our children.

Sounds like 1930s Germany and the horrors during the Holocaust during WWII.
Sounds like her idea of birth control is to exterminate all males, the " Final Solution " for males.
Heinrich Himmler
Himmler would be proud of Margaret Sanger

It's no far stretch of what this radical feminist ( Margaret Sanger ) is advocating.... sensible women ?? WAKE UP AND CONFRONT THIS EVIL !!!!!!!

From the article, "The acme of Sanger's career came in 1932 when she unveiled her Plan for Peace. The fascistic manifesto urged the U.S. Congress to "apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of populations whose progeny is tainted," and to "give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization." Sanger's wide-ranging hit-list included "morons, mental defectives, epileptics, ... illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, [and] dope-fiends."

I see Sanger was a student of Darwin. A favorite quote of mine from The Origin of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life and The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex: "At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world....The break between man and his near allies (extermination of anthropomorphous apes by man) will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla." Equal opportunity hater that he was, Darwin wasn't really fond of the Irish, either.

Also, a bigot!

A bigot and a misogynist. Darwin also said, "The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shewn by man's attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than can woman - whether requiring deep thought, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands...We may also infer, from the law of the deviation from averages, so well illustrated by Mr. Galton, in his work, on 'Hereditary Genesis' that if men are capable of a decided pre-eminence over women in many subjects, the average of mental power in man must be above that of woman"

Now, back to the kitchen, woman, and keep your ignorance to yourself!
