So while Hitler was trying to kill off Jews with abortion, Margaret Sanger in the US was busy trying to kill off inferior negros and created Planned Parenthood.
āShe [Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood] even presented at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1926 in Silver Lake, N.J. She recounted this event in her autobiography: āI accepted an invitation to talk to the womenās branch of the Ku Klux Klan ā¦ I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses ā¦ I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak ā¦ In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.ā (Margaret Sanger, āAn Autobiography,ā Page 366).ā ā The Washington Times,
āMargaret Sanger, racist eugenicist extraordinaire,ā May 5, 2014, by Arina Grossu.
Here is a fuller version of that Sanger quote:
āAlways to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the womenās branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing. [ā¦] Never before had I looked into a sea of faces like these. I was sure that if I uttered one word, such as abortion, outside the usual vocabulary of these women they would go off into hysteria. And so my address that night had to be in the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand. In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York.ā (Sanger, Chapter 29, āWhile the Doctors Consultā, p. 366.)
Author Grossu (
Washington Times) continues:
āIn a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: āWe do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.ā (Margaret Sanger commenting on the āNegro Projectā in a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939).ā
And then Grossu comments:
ā79 percent of Planned Parenthoodās surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of black or Hispanic communities.ā
Finally, Grossu writes:
āThe Centers for Disease Control and Preventionās Abortion Surveillance report revealed that between 2007 and 2010, nearly 36 percent of all abortions in the United States were performed on black children, even though black Americans make up only 13 percent of our population.ā
Margaret Sanger was a leader in the American eugenics movement. Some have argued that her comments about wanting to exterminate the black population were misconstrued: Sanger was actually saying she didnāt want people to get the wrong idea and think she was advocating genocide. On the other hand, Sanger wrote, in her famous 1912 essay,
āWhat Every Girl Should Knowā:
āIn all fish and reptiles where there is no great brain development, there is also no conscious sexual control. The lower down in the scale of human development we go the less sexual control we find. It is said that the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.ā
Sanger also wrote this:
āBirth control is not contraception indiscriminately and thoughtlessly practiced. It means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocksāthose human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.ā (
āApostle of Birth Control Sees Cause Gaining Hereā, The New York Times, 1923-04-08)
Hereās another quote from Sanger:
āā¦apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already taintedā¦to apportion farm lands and homesteads for these segregated persons where they would beā¦for the period of their entire lives.ā āā Margaret Sanger, Birth Control Review,
āA Plan for Peaceā, April 1932, Vol 26, Number 4
And if that is not clear enough, Sanger wrote this:
āThe main objects of the Population Congress would be [ā¦] (f) to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.ā (āA Plan for Peaceā, April 1932, pp. 107-108, summarizing an address to the New History Society, New York City, 1932-01-17)
Here is another Sanger quote, from her 1920 book,
Women and the New RaceāChapter 5, āThe Wickedness of Creating Large Familiesā:
āThe 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 [in large families].ā
Margaret Sanger was one of Americaās leading proponents of eugenics. She favored sterilization and segregation, in order to prevent giving birth among those women she deemed unfit and defective.
Planned Parenthood, of course, chooses to downplay these aggressive views of its founder. The group also avoids mentioning that Sanger
was strongly opposed to abortion, favoring the eugenicist birth-control methods I just mentioned.
