“Forced births”but but but if abortion is banned ... are you willing to help support all those forced births?
How feebleminded are you? Your actions have consequences. Pregnancy is one of the consequences of sex. Being irresponsible and ignoring the risk of your behavior does not amount to being “forced” to do something. You are exactly the kind of low-class person Margaret Sanger believed was unfit to reproduce.
“As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation.... On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.”
- Margaret Sanger (The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda". "Birth Control Review", (p. 5), October 1921)
