-—She never advocated abortion and that line that you quoted is taken out of context.-—
What’s the context for advocating infanticide?
——Even out of context she does not advocate abortion. She did, however, advocate for forced sterilization of the ‘unfit’——
I searched and couldn’t find a pro-abortion quote. But that public position seems incongruous with her support of infanticide and Nazi-style eugenics. Perhaps her public position regarding abortion was calculated. She seems to have few scruples, so misrepresenting her position for the greater evil would not be difficult for her.
Sanger did not advocate infanticide either.
She was using the fact infanticide was occuring in poor families (according to her) to promote legal contraception (which was illegel in her day).
Legal contraception and contraception information was her cause. In her day it was illegal to even distribute information about how to prevent pregnancy.
In addition to that she was a eugenicist (and a racist), as were many prominent people of her time.
