Just another example of how the GOP has gone completely off their rockers to pander to the radical right wing extremists.
A GOP rep from Kansas (shocker) states that planned parenthood are racist baby murderers
Republican Rep. calls Planned Parenthood racist baby murderers | The Raw Story
Unfortunate use of words. First of all he is correct about the racial aspect of Planned Parenthood. But I suppose once again you and the left will tell us to forget the roots of the organization.
Here is a web site that deals with the issue. BTW the"weeds" quote is not one of Sanger's no matter what the site may say, as far as I know: BlackGenocide.org | Planned Parenthood
His use of the word murder is unfortunate because it gives people like you, who could care less and want to make an issue out of the killing the unborn, a sounding board. Legally the killing of the unborn child is not murder because the courts have ruled it so. But morally it is murder in that the purposeful taking of innnocent life has always been called murder. But those words are too harsh for those who want to do what they want with no condemnation whatsoever.
Here are some Sanger quotes, there are many and a good many I do agree.
The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.
Margaret Sanger
When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race.
Margaret Sanger
Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.
Margaret Sanger
A free race cannot be born of slave mothers.
Margaret Sanger
Thus we see that the second and third children have a very good chance to live through the first year. Children arriving later have less and less chance, until the twelfth has hardly any chance at all to live twelve months. [npg] This does not complete the case, however, for those who care to go farther into the subject will find that many of those who live for a year die before they reach the age of five. [npg] Many, perhaps, will think it idle to go farther in demonstrating the immorality of large families, but since there is still an abundance of proof at hand, it may be offered for the sake of those who find difficulty in adjusting old-fashioned ideas to the facts. The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it. The same factors which create the terrible infant mortality rate, and which swell the death rate of children between the ages of one and five, operate even more extensively to lower the health rate of the surviving members. Chapter 5, "The Wickedness of Creating Large Families."
In passing, we should here recognize the difficulties presented by the idea of 'fit' and 'unfit.' Who is to decide this question? The grosser, the more obvious, the undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind. But among the writings of the representative Eugenists one cannot ignore the distinct middle-class bias that prevails. Chapter 8, "Dangers of Cradle Competition" (also quoted in Charles Valenza, "Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?" Family Planning Perspectives, January-February 1985, page 44.)
Eugenics aims to arouse the enthusiasm or the interest of the people in the welfare of the world fifteen or twenty generations in the future. On its negative side it shows us that 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 allthat the wealth of individuals and of states is being diverted from the development and the progress of human expression and civilization.
