Hey Everyody!
It's late and I know I should be asleep but I was just reading my dad's blog and it got me thinking. You know the whole "Planned Parenting" organization and Margaret Sanger, the leader who they praise and love and look up to and practically worship? This lady is very, very bad. She is racist and believes that poor people, black people, mentally disabled and physically disabled people are not worthy to be born. She created Planned Parenthood as a way to start weeding these people out to keep them from continuing their defects. If there is anything wrong with you or if you don't think like her or if you are a different color from her then she thinks you don't deserve to have been born. How wrong is that? My best friend used to be poor and a lot of my friends are black and so id my dad and I know a few people who my family loves very much who are mentally disabled. What is wrong with this girl?

You may not believe me, but here it is. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Margaret Sanger...In her own words.

Planned parenthood? If the title of the organization doesn't say it all, maybe we'll let the founder, Maggie Sanger, speak for herself.... But first, a word from her sponsor.

"As we celebrate the 100th birthday of Margaret Sanger, our outrageous and our courageous leader, we will probably find a number of areas in which we may find more about Margaret Sanger than we thought we wanted to know..."
Faye Wattleton, Past-president of Planned Parenthood

Actually, Faye darling, this is exactly what we wanted to know. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, in her own words.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"Sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review referring to black people.

"Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives."
[no source available at this time...]

As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance 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. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation....On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.

"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [Philanthropists] encourage 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. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born
at all."

"The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind."
Margaret Sanger, quoted in Charles Valenza. "Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?" Family Planning Perspectives, January-February 1985, page 44.

"The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their support. There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped."
Margaret Sanger. Speech quoted in Birth Control: What It Is, How It Works, What It Will Do. The Proceedings of the First American Birth Control Conference. Held at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, November 11-12, 1921. Published by the Birth Control Review, Gothic Press, pages 172 and 174.

"The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social order..."

"Give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."
Margaret Sanger, April 1932 Birth Control Review.

Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the American Baby Code that states, "No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child… without a permit for parenthood".

Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, proposed the Population Congress with the aim, "...to give certain dysgenic (people with bad genes... like african americans?) groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization."Is this what they mean by planned parenthood? Parenthood that meets their plans? As for Sanger, her motives were extremely clear. Have you seen anything where PP has denounced the beliefs of it's founder? Not some individual, but the organization as a whole? If we consider Hitler evil for his desire to exterminate the Jewish race, what do we say of Sanger?

It's amazing to actually hear (or read) this much hate coming from one person. I encourage you one way or another to write a letter to Margaret Sanger's organization telling them how disgraceful and bad their leader is, and to point out that this is what their whole organization was built on, that this crap is what they have worked so hard for.

I will proabably get the next chapter of the story up tomorrow.
Starting tuesday, we have to take TAKS tests the rest of the week. This is the test that tells the school whether they need to fire your teachers or not. And whether your smart enough to "continue your wonderful journey down the long road of education". Wish me luck!
