I have studied the lives of many people, but Margaret Sanger is one of the most vile, evil, mean, and racist of all. Liberal professors and media outlets that have anything positive to say about Planned Parenthood or Margaret Sanger prove themselves to be extremely ignorant, racist, or both.
After divorcing her first husband and the father of her three children, Margaret Sanger became the publisher of a liberal newspaper she called The Woman Rebel. The slogan for her paper was "No Gods! No Masters!" Indeed, as a member of the Socialist Party, she was a rebel in more ways than one could count.[1]
The first issue of Sanger's paper denounced marriage as a "degenerate institution," capitalism as "indecent exploitation," and sexual modesty as "obscene prudery." In the next issue, an article entitled "A Woman's Duty" stated that "rebel women" were to "look the whole world in the face with a go-to-hell look in their eyes."[2]
In issues to follow, she published articles on sexual liberation, social revolution, contraception, and two articles that defended political assassinations. Sanger was served with a subpoena indicting her on three counts for publication of lewd and indecent articles. She fled to England, where she became acquainted with the eugenics movement, and she spent a year there before returning to the U.S. (Eugenicists, as defined by Dr. George Grant are "the practitioners of an odd pseudo-science who sincerely believe that if human civilization were to survive, the physically unfit, the materially poor, the spiritually diseased, the racially inferior, and the mentally incompetent had to be eliminated."[3])
Once back home, Sanger organized a public relations campaign to have all charges against her dropped. She began to put her eugenic worldview into practice by opening a birth control clinic in Brownsville, New York. This area was inhabited by Slavic, Latino, Italian, and Jewish immigrants. Sanger stated that these ethnic groups were "dysgenic and diseased races" that needed to have their "reckless breeding" curbed.[4] Barely two weeks after the clinic opened, it was shut down. Sanger and her sister were sentenced to 30 days in a workhouse for distributing obscene material and prescribing dangerous medical procedures.
Shortly after her release, she started an organization called the Birth Control League which published a magazine entitled Birth Control Review. A huge success, the publication not only garnered many paying subscriptions that generated revenue to further Sanger's cause, but it also attracted the attention and donations of famous and wealthy donors.
Sanger became acquainted with the doctors and scientists that had worked with Nazi Germany's "race purification" program and had no quarrel with the euthanasia, sterilization, abortion, and infanticide programs of the early Reich.[5] Sanger even published several articles in Birth Control Review that reflected Hilter's White Supremacist worldview.[6]
Within a few years, Sanger had authored several best-selling books and was speaking to large and receptive audiences, not only in America but all over the world. She was a celebrity with a following. In her book The Pivot of Civilization, Sanger praised the cause of eugenics, openly calling for the eradication of "human weeds,"[7] for the "cessation of charity,"[8] for the segregation of "morons, misfits, and the maladjusted,"[9] and for the coercive sterilization of "genetically inferior races."[10]
Sanger married a multimillionaire who eagerly funded her cause. Not wanting to find herself in trouble with the law, she opened a new clinic but called it a "Research Bureau." She received large grants from foundations such as Rockefeller, Ford, and Mellon.[11]
After World War II, the horrors of Hitler and his Nazi doctors and scientists came to light, and Sanger had to work fast to remake her image and distance herself from them. To accomplish this goal, she started a new organization with a new name: Planned Parenthood. Sanger was successful in hiding her racism and bigotry behind family-friendly names such as Planned Parenthood and family planning. Family planning means today what it meant in Sanger's day---abortion on demand. But make no mistake, for those who want to do the research, the evidence is there that Margaret Sanger was a racist and a bigot.
With all this historical evidence, it is remarkable that the Democratic Party continues to align itself with Planned Parenthood while it still manages to attract the majority of non-white voters. The fact that the liberal media and liberal educators don't join me in exposing Planned Parenthood's racist's worldview, but instead promotes and partners with them speaks volumes.
If you think Planned Parenthood has rejected its racist roots, then you're mistaken. Dr. Alan Guttmacher, the man who directly followed Sanger as the president of Planned Parenthood said, "We are merely walking down the path that Mrs. Sanger carved out for us." Fate Wattleton was president of the organization during the 1980s, and she said she was "proud" to be "walking in the footsteps" of Sanger. In 1994, the president of Planned Parenthood was Pamela Maraldo who said, "Today, Planned Parenthood proudly carries on the courageous tradition of Margaret Sanger." [12]
So if you're ever sitting in class and the professor, or your liberal classmates, start singing the praises of Margaret Sanger or Planned Parenthood, ask them when they became a supporter of racism, bigotry, anti-Semitism, and Nazism. Also ask why they're opposed to women's rights. After all, abortion in America has denied millions of little women the right to life.
