Life Magazine has ranked Margaret Sanger as one of the most important persons of this century. She is the founder of Planned Parenthood and an "outstanding" proponent of eugenics. In April of 1932 she advocated an option "to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation [concentration camps] or sterilization." ("A Plan For Peace," Birth Control Review; see 'appendix' for this full unabridged semie with bad genes. She and others pioneered forced sterilization in the 20th century. The Swedish sterilization was in place by 1935. The German program began in January 1934, but the U.S. state of Indiana passed a forced sterilization law (for "mental defectives") in 1907 (when Adolf Hitler was only 18 years old). Before the German program began, at least seventeen U.S. states, including California, had forced sterilization laws. Before 1930 there were 200-600 forced sterilizations per year in the United States, but in the 1930s the rate jumped to 2,000-4,000 per year. (1)
Margaret Sanger's eugenics
I am reading an outstanding book right now. Salvation is from The Jews, by Roy H. Schoeman, which delves into the influence Margaret Sanger had on Hitler's plans to create a "Master Race". The book is available through most book stores, as well as Amazon.com. Strongly recommended!
