Margaret Sanger, you will learn today, was an admitted racist and eugenicist. Yes, I actually just wrote that. The spewing of volatility may shortly ensue. Eugenics may have its place amongst our modern-day engineers of society through a number of rationalizations or outright justifications, but most in the progressive category would prefer to shy away from the fact that the founder of Planned Parenthood encouraged the extermination of the negro population. Her words, not mine. When you take a ride to your local clinic to get a handful of condoms, remember these words: \"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,\" she said, \"if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.\" Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon. Am I quoting out of context? Decide for yourselves. <\/p>\n
Planned Parenthood, I assure you, will not be suing this reporter for libel. Sanger, if nothing else, was admirably honest in her opinions. Irresponsible of me it would be, though, to suggest that the organization still holds to those ideals. Their founder, in her own words, did. Through the power of google, you can learn more. Margaret's words and writings are burned into the electronic engine that governs life. Find her others on your own. Educate yourselves. <\/p>\n
\"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it,\" Sanger said in her book, Woman and the new race. Of note with this quote is the use of \"kill,\" rather than our more sanitized modern reference of \"termination of pregnancy.\" If those reading are supporters of eugenics, so be it. Live your convictions. Beyond doubtful it is, however, that many proponents of abortion-rights are even aware of Planned Parenthood's background. Google eugenics. Google population control. Gather some facts before opting to hug the concept of a woman's right to choose. Conveniently, the term negates to mention eugenics or racism. <\/p>\n
One thing I don't want. Christian readers don't facebook-respond, don't email me and don't call up the paper saying that I'm doing God's work. I didn't write the above from a Christian perspective. I've read the Bible and have found it to be full of factual, logistical, mathematical and theological inconsistencies. If you wish to believe based on faith and the manifestation of God in your lives, so be it. Do not claim ever that your book is more accurate than that of another faith based on this and that. The Bible, our modern version of it, has undergone change after change. When human hands touch something, flawlessness is not the result you'll find. If I choose to have faith in the Christ story, it will not be because of Biblical accuracy. The rock of ages it may be, but something to set your watches to it is not. Google Biblical inaccuracies. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
