Birth control leader Margaret Sanger: Darwinist, racist and eugenicist

Journal of Creation ^ | Jerry Bergman, Ph.D.

[GodGunsGuts]

Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, the leading organization advocating abortion in the United States today. Darwinism had a profound influence on her thinking, including her conversion to, and active support of, eugenics. She was specifically concerned with reducing the population of the ‘less fit’, including ‘inferior races’ such as ‘Negroes’. One major result of her lifelong work was to support the sexual revolution that has radically changed our society...

I’ve had some of the ideologues on FR tell me that women belong barefoot and pregnant and have no right to divorce even if they are beaten daily by their husband.

I’ve heard some Freepers resonate to the idea that “it’s liberals who are aborting themselves out of existence. 50 million abortions in this country means 50 million fewer liberals (wink-wink).” It’s a real test of character - how strongly do you hold your principles?

[LussaO]

I don’t know how useful it is to keeping digging Margaret Sanger out of her grave for people to throw rocks at. Maybe it’s easier for angry people to go after a symbol, than to go after the live, poor unfortunate woman who is contemplating an abortion, and try to help her.

You’re kidding right?

If you want to say that the woman is misquoted, then post the quote.

I wouldn’t waste my time reading a paper by this horrible bigot. I can’t see why you defend her. I don’t care if she was “for” abortion or not, she was a racist elitist and ran with the KKK.

Then you make a statement saying a FReeper misquoted her then won’t post the quote but rather, back it up with “I suggest you read the whole thing”. Well, I suggest that if you want to dispute somthing, YOU need to do the work.

No, you find the quote in context and cut and paste it here or wagglebee’s quote stands.

Thanks for the great job on this thread! It looks like things got a lot more “interesting” after I went to bed.

Keep reading the posts to see.

Yes. After getting hit, GGG and MM deserted the thread without responding.

I don’t care if she was “for” abortion or not

Do you care that people lie about it?

[ElectricStrawberry]

Ah yes...another irrational attack on a scientific theory....all in the name of “defense of religious freedom”....

[wagglebee]

Yes. After getting hit, GGG and MM deserted the thread without responding.

Ah yes another familiar troll, I had noticed that you found this thread.

Did it perhaps occur to you that they might have simply gone to bed?

[wagglebee]

Ah yes...another irrational attack on a scientific theory....all in the name of “defense of religious freedom”....

Really? Please explain how attacking eugenics is "irrational" and perhaps you could tell us why you support eugenics.

Do you care that people lie about it?

This from the troll that has the gall LIE about other FReepers and accuse them of wanting to put people to death for not observing the Sabbath.

[netmilsmom]

This is all that needs to be said.

Because she considered "Negros" to be "human weeds", I'm sure that she had no problem with eliminating them.

[ColdWater]

Did it perhaps occur to you that they might have simply gone to bed?

That could be a possibility. Many have laptops they use in their bed.

[ColdWater]

Oh. So you don’t care if your fellow Christians lie.

[ElectricStrawberry]

This has nothing to do with eugenics, or even Sanger.....this has to do with GGG's obsession with attaching the theory of evolution to eugenics and the theory of evoution to Sanger......and the theory of evolution to every atrocity ever committed and everythign "bad" in the world.

...all in the name of "defending religious freedom."

and perhaps you could tell us why you support eugenics.

Perhaps you can tell me how many children you molested this morning....since we're tossing around asinine charges...

Go ahead...ping your echo chamber: "Looky over here guys, I'm tossing baseless and false accusations around"...

[ColdWater]

This from the troll that has the gall LIE about other FReepers and accuse them of wanting to put people to death for not observing the Sabbath.

I would quote the Bible for you but you would hit the abuse button on me like was done the last time. Amazing that quoting the Bible causes the likes of you to hit the abuse button. What is so bad about the Bible that you don't want people to quote it?

This has nothing to do with eugenics, or even Sanger.....this has to do with GGG's obsession with attaching the theory of evolution to eugenics and the theory of evoution to Sanger......and the theory of evolution to every atrocity ever committed and everythign "bad" in the world.

Well put. Only I would add "and GGG obsession with altering the truth to support his agenda.

CW: Yes. After getting hit, GGG and MM deserted the thread without responding.

wagglebee: Ah yes another familiar troll, I had noticed that you found this thread. Did it perhaps occur to you that they might have simply gone to bed?

What?!?!?! Conclude that someone might have gone to bed because their last post was after midnight?

Don't be ridiculous. It's so much easier and more fun to accuse them of bailing on the thread to try to make them look bad.

[ColdWater]

Do you agree with these words?

“While there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization.”
