Bust of Racist Margaret Sanger to Remain

[Guest Kenny68]

They want to exalt themselves. It's so sad what state of mind these people are in. The Bible says that in the last days they will call good evil and evil good. It's only going to get worse before our Lord rerurns...but Praise be to God that He is coming back for us!

And so opinions over rule facts once again. Okay, I'm done now. 

No.  What I'm saying is that if one side of the debate is offended by Confederate stuff and the other side is offended by PP then both types of statues/monuments  should be removed.  Why should only one opinion be honored?  The Confederacy means nothing to me personally but equal treatment under the law is enshrined in our Constitution.  No reason to throw up your hands just because someone else has another opinion, LK.   Btw, I AM posting facts, Constitutional ones.

Amen, Kenny.  And welcome to Worthy!

Just for ladykay. Im reading a book by margaret sanger called the pivot of civilization. 

https://openlibrary.org/works/OL99582W/The_Pivot_of_Civilization

You can read it for yourself when I am done. I will be posting quotes directly from the book as I come across them. You can see for yourself how evil this woman is, not only for abortion, but for her racism itself. Not an opinion from someone else but her own words.

Yep, the truth and the facts are often multi-faceted.  In all likelihood, Sanger was not the saint this article paints her to be nor the villainess her critics claim

If you read her lectures and the stuff she wrote, the woman was the embodiment of pure evil.  she didn't even like her own children and wished they had never been born.   There are no socially acceptable terms that can be employed to adequately describe just how evil she was.

[ayin jade]

This book of hers is vile. Im now reading a part where the bible is used to justify eugenics. Ug. 

 

Here are some quotes so far. I hope ladykay appreciates this effort Im going to on her behalf. I feel quite tainted by this. 

 

The lack of balance 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. The example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken, should not be held up for emulation to the mentally and physically fit, and therefore less fertile, parents of the educated and well-to-do classes. On the contrary, the most urgent problem to-day is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective. Possibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon American society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupid, cruel sentimentalism.
 p25

There is but one practical and feasible program in handling the great problem of the feeble-minded. That is, as the best authorities are agreed, to prevent the birth of those who would transmit imbecility to their descendants. Feeble-mindedness as investigations and statistics from every country indicate, is invariably associated with an abnormally high rate of fertility. 
p 80

The philosophy of Birth Control points out that as long as civilized communities encourage unrestrained fecundity in the "normal" members of the population - always of course under the cloak of decency and morality - and penalize every attempt to introduce the principle of discrimination and responsibility in parenthood, they will be faced with the ever increasing problem of feeble-mindedness, that fertile parent of degeneracy, crime, and pauperism. 
p 81

Modern studies indicate that insanity, epilepsy, criminality, prostitution, pauperism, and mental defect, are all organically bound up together and that the least intelligent and the thoroughly degenerate classes in every community are the most prolific. Feeble-mindedness in one generation becomes pauperism or insanity in the next. There is every indication that feeble-mindedness in its protean forms is on the increase, that it has leaped the barriers, and that there is truly, as some of the scientific eugenists have pointed out, a feeble-minded peril to future generations - unless the feeble-minded are prevented from reproducing their kind. To meet this emergency is the immediate and peremptory duty of every State and of all communities. 
p 82

The curious situation has come about that while our statesmen are busy upon their propaganda of "repopulation," and are encouraging the production of large families, they are ignoring the exigent problem of the elimination of the feeble-minded. In this, however, the politicians are at one with the traditions of a civilization which, with its charities and philanthropies, has propped up the defective and degenerate and relieved them of the burdens borne by the healthy sections of the community, thus enabling them more easily and more numerously to propagate their kind. 
pp 82.83

Feeble-minded women "constitute a permanent menace to the race" 
p 87

confronted with these shocking truths about the menace of feeble-mindedness to the race, a menace acute because of the unceasing and unrestrained fertility of such defectives, we are apt to become victims of a "wild panic for instant action." There is no occasion for hysterical, ill-considered action, specialists tell us. They direct our attention to another phase of the problem, that of the so-called "good feeble-minded." 
pp 89,90
We do not object to feeble-mindedness simply because it leads to immorality and criminality; nor can we approve of it when it expresses itself in docility, submissiveness and obedience. We object because both are burdens and dangers to the community. As a matter of fact, there is sufficient evidence  to lead us to believe that the so-called "borderline cases" are a greater menace than the out-and-out "defective delinquents" who can be supervised, controlled and prevented from procreating their kind. 
p 91

Eugenics seems to me to be valuable in its critical and diagnostic aspects, in emphasizing the danger of irresponsible and uncontrolled fertility of the "unfit" and the feeble-minded establishing a progressive unbalance in human society and lowering the birth-rate among the "fit."
p 104

These dangers inherent in the very idea of humanitarianism and altruism, dangers which have to-day produced their full harvest of human waste, of inequality and inefficiency, were recognized in the last century at the moment when such ideas were first put into practice. 
pp 108,109

our eyes should be opened to the terrific cost to the community of this dead weight of human waste. 
p 112

But there is a special type of philanthropy or benevolence, now widely advertised and advocated, both as a federal program and as worthy of private endowment, which strikes me as being more insidiously injurious than any other. This concerns itself directly with the function of maternity and aims to supply gratis medical and nursing facilities to slum mothers. Such women are to be visited by nurses and to receive instruction in the "hygiene of pregnancy"; to be guided in making arrangements for confinements; to be invited to come to the doctor's clinics for examination and supervision. They are, we are informed, to "receive adequate care during pregnancy, at confinement, and for one month afterward." Thus are mothers and babies to be saved. 
pp 113,114

Now, as the findings of Tredgold and Karl Pearson and the British Eugenists so conclusively show, and as the infant mortality reports so thoroughly substantiate, a high rate of fecunditiy is always associated with the direct poverty, irresponsibility, mental defect, feeble-mindedness, and other transmissible taints. The effect of maternity endowments and maternity centers supported by private philanthropy would have , perhaps already have had, exactly the most dysgenic tendency. The new government program would facilitate the function of maternity among the very classes in which the absolute necessity is to discourage it. 
p115

Such philanthropy, as Dean Inge has so unanswerably pointed out, is kind only to be cruel, and unwittingly promotes precisely the results most deprecated. It encourages the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. 
p 116

The danger of recruiting our numbers from the most "fertile stocks" is further emphasized when we recall that in a democracy like that of the UNited States every man and woman is permitted a vote in the government, and that it is the representatives of this grade of intelligence who may destroy our liberties, and who may thus be the most far-reaching peril to the future of civilization. 
p 177
Equality of political power has thus been bestowed upon the lowest elements of our population.
p178

The grosser, the more obvious, the undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind. 
p181

Birth Control which has been criticized as negative and destructive, is really the gretest and most truly eugenic method, and its adoption as part of the program of Eugenics would immediately give a concrete and realistic power to that science. As a matter of fact, Birth Control has been accepted by the most clear thinking and far seeing of the Eugenists themselves as the most constructive and necessary of the means to racial health.

Wow.  Why didn't she marry Hitler?  It reads like something Der Fuhrer would have written.

Thanks Ayin! My hopes others may also read it ...and weep. Truly a wicked woman.

Pretty much says it all, a portion of the article mentioned from the OP:

"...As LifeNews previously reported, Margaret Sanger wrote a few books that revealed how she viewed minorities and the poor. In her book, “Pivot of Civilization,” she describes African-Americans and immigrants as “human weeds,” “reckless breeders,” and “spawning… human beings who never should have been born.”

Then, in “Woman and the New Race,” Sanger argues that people shouldn’t have large families because they tend to involve poverty and illness. In fact, she said it is better for everyone involved if a child’s life is snuffed out before he or she has a chance to cause problems for their family. She said, “[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny (offspring) is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”

Although some are unaware of the skeletons in Sanger’s closet, the mainstream media often ignores facts about her beliefs because it doesn’t fit in with their agenda."

Oh my goodness.  It makes one want to shower just reading that.  I think Ms. Sanger was probably one of satan's most prolific spreaders of hate and racism.  And I hope any who would venerate her, like Hillary Clinton professes she does, would take a long look in the mirror.
