Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood

 


Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood

I thought today I would give you a little reprieve from all this stuff about George Soros and his Open Society Foundation (OSF) and I thought instead we could discuss a little about Planned Parenthood.

Margaret Louise Sanger (1879 – 1966) has been credited with founding what today is called Planned Parenthood.  We hear a lot about the Planned Parenthood and often hype the Planned Parenthood Organization as a positive place that helps families in need of family planning assistance, at little to no cost through birth control.

Sanger’s idea of birth control was a method of cleansing - what Sanger considered an inferior race - of its impurities.  In doing so (cleansing a race) birth control became a method of population control.  Ultimately, after you work through all the filters, Sanger’s population control equaled cleansing a race by removing unsavory traits of that population by culling out those undesirable traits through birth control; a form of eugenics.

In 1911, Sanger arrived to New York City where she became deeply prejudiced by current day democratic agenda and revolutionaries, socialist, and labor activists.  She joined and participated in radical groups and causes and published her own paper in March 1914, The Woman Rebel which provided educational information about birth control.

In August 1914, Sanger was indicted for violating obscenity laws.  This indictment stemmed from a law that was then on the books in New York.  This law allowed physicians to prescribe contraceptives to married couples.  Margaret Sanger was not a physician and distributed contraceptives to married couples.  Allowing physicians to prescribe contraceptives to married couples was to reduce spread of diseases but; Sanger did not distribute contraceptives to families to control spread of disease, Sanger distributed contraceptives to married couples to perform reverse eugenics.

Eugenics, which means well born, was coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883.  Positive eugenics was a movement that attempted to “improve” the human population by encouraging “fit” people to reproduce.  Negative eugenics, conversely, attempted to “improve” the human population by discouraging “unfit” people from reproducing.  The “unfit” people included the poor, the sick, the disabled, the blacks, and the “feeble-minded”.  “Discouragement” from reproducing included the use of force.

While Sanger rejected positive eugenics, Sanger embraced negative eugenics.  Sanger stressed a need to merge negative eugenics with birth control.

Sanger advocated birth control backed by forced sterilization or segregation to achieve her aims.  Sanger wrote she did not believe merely in sterilization of the feeble-minded, the insane and the diseased.  Sanger believed that in order to provide that thoroughbred race the government should “apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that race of population whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring” and “to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization”.

In 1921, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which (following a 1939 merger with the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau and then a 1942 name change) became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.  While the organization was growing, the close association between the birth control movement and eugenics had made a name change necessary.  Nazi Germany had implemented racial hygiene policies, including mass sterilizations, inspired by the eugenics movement in America.  So “birth control” was removed from the name to create a new public image.  The agenda, though, stayed the same.  And in 1948, Sanger helped form the International Committee on Planned Parenthood, which (in 1952) became the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

Through it all Sanger’s underlying theme remained to eliminate the unfit.  In her 1922 book, The Pivot of Civilization, she attacked charity as counterproductive, and dangerous, for helping the poor to produce more “human waste”, Sanger’s term for children of the poor.  Sanger wrote “Organized charity is itself the symptom of a malignant social disease.”  And, “Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks [of people] that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant.”

In a 1925 book, Birth Control: Facts and Responsibilities, Sanger contributed an essay, writing, “Birth Control is not merely an individual problem; it is not merely a national question, it concerns the whole wide world, the ultimate destiny of the human race.  Who knew America had a forward thinker like Hitler amongst our population?

Then in 1926, Sanger spoke at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey. Writing about the event in her autobiography, she highlighted its success, noting that “a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups” were offered.

And in 1939, Sanger initiated the Negro Project to weed out the unfit from the black population.  In bringing birth control to the then largely poor (unfit) population of the South, with a few influential black ministers promoting the project as the solution to poverty, Sanger hoped to significantly reduce the black population.

Sanger’s impact during her lifetime was highly negative, and included the cruelty of forced sterilization, which became a common practice.  In America, over 60,000 people were sterilized against their will.  Most forced sterilizations occurred during the 1930s and 1940s when Sanger and the birth control and population control movements were pushing states hard to enact and enforce compulsory sterilization laws.  Among the victims were the blind, the deaf, epileptics, mentally retarded, mentally ill, and people with low IQs diagnosed as “feeble-minded.”

Sanger’s legacy today, which is being carried on by Planned Parenthood, includes the devastating impact of “birth control” on the black community.  Planned Parenthood has continued the practice of targeting the black population.  Over 30% of all abortions are performed on black women and close to 40% of black pregnancies end in abortion.

Planned Parenthood successfully created a public image of an organization working to help the poor, while hiding the reality that it targets the vulnerable. That was Sanger’s plan from the start.[1]

I guess it is no more than a mere coincidence that in this America wherein we live today and during these times while we are asked to adopt a less white attitude; as early as 1911 America was motivated by a then current day democratic agenda and a revolutionary, socialist, and labor activist eugenist whose ideologies were in line with the likes of Hitler, sought to improve races by eliminating the unfit through Birth Control which would ultimately rid an “unfit” race – the black race – through negative eugenics, attempted to “improve” the global human population by discouraging “unfit” races – specifically the black race - from reproducing.  The name of that organization is Planned Parenthood which today is owned by George Soros – a now current day democrat and a revolutionary, socialist, and labor activist whose ambition is to remove the Conservative Party and its agenda globally -  and his Open Society Foundation (OSF) and Sanger’s legacy today, is being carried on by Planned Parenthood, including its devastating impact of “birth control” on the black community, and the original intent of Planned Parenthood seems intact today.
