Protect The Innocent

Margaret Sanger, a birth control activist, nurse, and lecturer, was born in 1879 in Corning, New York, the sixth of eleven children. She attended Claverack College, Hudson River Institute, and the White Plains Hospital nursing program in order to become a nurse. In 1902 she married architect William Sanger, and the couple had three children.

Margaret Sanger practiced nursing until 1912, when she left the profession in order to devote her life to educating women about birth control, which she was convinced would greatly improve their lives. She wrote a series of articles for The New York Call entitled "What Every Girl Should KNow" which was later published as a book and in 1914 dispensed information on contraceptives through pamphlets such as "family limitation" and in her radical feminist newspaper, The Woman Rebel. Several states, including New York, banned The Woman Rebel for its controversial advocacy of birth control. In 1914, Sanger was arrested for violating postal obscenity laws under the 1873 Comstock Act, which had made it illegal to send "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" printed material through the US mail. Once on bail, Sanger fled to England where she met British feminists, radicals, and neo-Malthusians who influenced her theories of sexual politics, most notably Havelock Ellis.

Upon her return to the United States, Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the United States in Brooklyn, New York in 1916, which was shut down nine days later by New York police. Sanger was imprisoned, but publicity from the case helped her to raise funds for legislative advocacy. Sanger continued her advocacy for contraception and her violation of the Comstock law by starting the monthly publication, Birth Control Review

Throughout the 1920's and 1930's Margret traved Europe, and Asia giving lectures and advocating her ideals of birth control, and how it would improve women's and public health, womens rihgts and eugenics.

After founding the American Birth Contol League in 1921, (renamed the Planned Parenthood Federation Of America in 1942) shortly after in 1923 Sanger started gaining support in legislation laws, the biginning of such laws was the Comstock law. The New York state appellate court amended it allowing physicians to legally distribute contraceptive information.

There is resources availabe and many articles that Marget Sanger wrote that we can know without a doubt what her agenda and beliefs were, Sadly,  Planned Parenthood today still follows in her beliefs and ideals. Margret Sanger is noted for saying some of the following

As President of the American Birth Control League, she edited its publication, The Birth Control Review. In the May 1919 issue of that review, she wrote, "more children from the fit, less from the unfit - that is the chief issue of birth control." Dec21 issue "To create a race of thoroughbreds."

Sanger also batted for abortion. In her Credo for Women's Rights, she
advocated "The Right to Create and The Right to Destroy," and she said, "No
one can doubt that abortion is justifiable." She also  wrote, "The most
merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is
to kill it." (Women and the New Race, Truth Publishing 1920)

the most "insidiously injurious philanthropy" was maternity care given poor women. Commenting on the funds given to the blind, the deaf, and those in almshouses and reformatories, she said that the public should realize the "terrible cost to the community of this dead weight of human waste."

Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child, she wrote in her "Plan for Peace." Birth Control Review, April 1932

"More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919

In her "Plan for Peace," Sanger outlined her strategy for eradication of those she deemed "feebleminded." Among the steps included, were immigration restrictions; compulsory sterilization; segregation to a lifetime of farm work; etc. Birth Control Review, April 1932,

It now remains for the U.S. government to set a sensible example to the world by offering a bonus or yearly pension to all obviously unfit parents who allow themselves to be sterilized by harmless and scientific means. In this way the moron and the diseased would have no posterity to inherit their unhappy condition. The number of the feeble-minded would decrease and a heavy burden would be lifted from the shoulders of the fit.  (Margaret Sanger, “The Function of Sterilization,” The Birth Control Review, October 1926, 299. Sanger delivered the address before the Institute of Euthenics at Vassar College on August 5, 1926. Sanger’s address sounds eerily familiar to the 1999 controversial Children Requiring a Caring Kommunity (CRACK) program. The program offered to pay drug-addicted women $200 cash if they underwent sterilization or had long-term chemical birth control (which may actually cause abortion in the very early stages of pregnancy) inserted into their bodies. The billboard ads were placed in inner cities. See CWA’s January/February 2000 publication of Family Voice.)

These are just a few of the things that Margret Sanger has endorsed from her own writings, Margret was also an activist for "Forced" Eugenics  Many may be shocked tolearn long before Hitler The U.S practiced this idea of Eugenics.State laws were written in the late 1800s and early 1900s to prohibit marriage and force sterilization of the mentally ill in order to prevent the "passing on" of mental illness to the next generation. These laws were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1927 and were not abolished until the mid-20th century. All in all, over 60,000 Americans were sterilized. These included families who had such illnesses as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. and Some states sterilized "imbeciles" for much of the 20th century

In 1927 in the case of Buck VS Bell The U.S Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state of Virginia to sterilize those it thought unfit.

64,000 individuals were forcibly sterilized under eugenic legislation in the United States Paul Lombardo, "Eugenic Sterilization Laws," essay in the Eugenics Archive.

A favorable book report on the results of sterilization in California, the state with the most sterilizations by far, was published in book form by the biologist Paul Popenoe (Applied Eugenics 1918) and was widely cited by the Nazi government as evidence that wide-reaching sterilization programs were feasible and humane. When Nazi administrators went on trial for war crimes in Neremburg after WWII , they justified thier mass sterilizations (over 450,000 in less than a decade) by citing the United States as their inspiration. The Eugenists of The U.S supported  Hitler's racial purification laws. The eugenic laws covered a large variety of basis from families with mental illneses, familys that we "menace to society" to imigrations.

Abortion today is a tool that has been used and now more so than ever being abused by children, and "responsible" adults who become pregnant. It isn't just the "special needs" children who are at the ind of the knife, it is also being used as a form of birth control, I was watching a talk show some years ago, and the host had a young child on there (15) who had already had 4 abortions. The reason for these abortions was that she was in various beauty pagents and 1 she did not want to "ruin" her figure by having a child, and 2 she didn't want to "throw away" her future by having a child. This and many other "reasons" for having an abortion 'I'm too young", "my parents will kill me", I'm not ready"  "i didn't like the guy who got me pregnant" and the list goes on.

 The Negro Project; The goal of plaaned parent hood was/is to have as few minorities as possible The ABCL became a legal entity on April 22, 1922, in New York. Before that, Sanger illegally operated a birth control clinic in October 1916, in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which eventually closed. The clinic serviced the poor immigrants who heavily populated the area—those deemed “unfit” to reproduce. Prior to 1939, Sanger's “outreach to the black community was largely limited to her Harlem clinic and speaking at black churches.”³⁵ Her vision for “the reproductive practices of black Americans” expanded after the January 1939 merger of the Clinical Research Bureau and the American Birth Control League to form the Birth Control Federation of America. She selected Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, of the soap-manufacturing company Procter and Gamble, to be the BCFA regional director of the South.

Gamble wrote a memorandum in November 1939 entitled “Suggestions for the Negro Project,” in which he recognized that “black leaders might regard birth control as an extermination plot.” He suggested black leaders be placed in positions where it would appear they were in charge. Yet Sanger's reply reflects Gamble's ambivalence about having blacks in authoritative positions:

 "I note that you doubt it worthwhile to employ a full-time Negro physician. It seems to me from my experience ... that, while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors, they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table, which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts. They do not do this with white people and if we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and ... knowledge, which ... will have far-reaching results among the colored people; Letter from Sanger to Gamble, 10 December 1939

The idea here is to use people of ethnic origin using them to decieve thier own people itno "controlling" thier population.
