Eugenics
One of
Margaret Sanger’s Favorite Books Was a Pro-Eugenics Tome[1]
Hitler Called “My Bible”.[2]
"Eugenics, the social movement claiming to improve the genetic features of
human populations through selective breeding and sterilization, based on the idea that it is possible
to distinguish between superior and inferior elements of society, played a
significant role in the history and culture of the United States prior
to its involvement in World War II.
Eugenics was practiced in the United
States many years before eugenics programs in Nazi
Germany and U.S. programs
provided much of the inspiration for the latter. Stefan Kühl has documented the
consensus between Nazi race policies and those of eugenicists in other
countries, including the United
States , and points out that eugenicists
understood Nazi policies and measures as the realization of their goals and
demands.
During the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th
century, eugenics was considered a
method of preserving and improving the dominant groups in the population; it is
now generally associated with racist and nativist elements[3] (as the movement was to some extent a
reaction to a change in emigration from Europe) rather than scientific genetics."[4]
Early proponents
Eugenics supporters hold signs criticizing various 'genetically
inferior' groups. Wall Street, New York , c. 1915.
"The American eugenics movement was rooted in the biological
determinist ideas of Sir Francis Galton,
which originated in the 1880s. Galton studied the upper classes of Britain , and
arrived at the conclusion that their social positions were due to a superior
genetic makeup. Early proponents
of eugenics believed that, through selective breeding, the human species should
direct its own evolution. They tended to believe in the genetic superiority of
Nordic, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon peoples; supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation[5] laws; and supported the forcible sterilization
of the poor, disabled and "immoral". Eugenics was also supported by African
Americans intellectuals such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Thomas Wyatt Turner,
and many academics at Tuskegee University, Howard University, and Hampton University;
however they believed the best blacks were as good as the best whites and 'The
Talented Tenth' of all races should mix. W.
E. B. Du Bois believed "only fit blacks should procreate to eradicate the
race's heritage of moral iniquity.
The American
eugenics movement received extensive funding from various corporate foundations
including the Carnegie Institution, Rockefeller Foundation,
and the Harriman railroad fortune. In 1906 J.H. Kellogg provided
funding to help found the Race Betterment Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Eugenics Record Office (ERO) was founded in Cold Spring
Harbor, New York in
1911 by the renowned biologist Charles B. Davenport,
using money from both the Harriman railroad fortune and the Carnegie
Institution. As late as the 1920s, the ERO was one of the leading organizations
in the American eugenics movement. In
years to come, the ERO collected a mass of family pedigrees and concluded that
those who were unfit came from economically and socially poor backgrounds.
Eugenicists such as Davenport, the psychologist Henry H. Goddard, Harry H. Laughlin, and the conservationist Madison Grant (all
well respected in their time) began to lobby for various solutions to the
problem of the "unfit". Davenport
favored immigration
restriction and
sterilization as primary methods; Goddard favored segregation in his The Kallikak Family;
Grant favored all of the above and more, even entertaining the idea of
extermination. The Eugenics
Record Office later became the Cold Spring
Harbor Laboratory."[6]
"Eugenics was widely accepted in the
By 1910, there was a large and dynamic network of scientists,
reformers and professionals engaged in national eugenics projects and actively
promoting eugenic legislation. The American Breeder's Association was the first eugenic body in the U.S. ,
established in 1906 under the direction of biologist Charles B. Davenport. The ABA was formed
specifically to "investigate and report on heredity in the human race, and
emphasize the value of superior blood and the menace to society of inferior
blood." Membership included Alexander Graham Bell, Stanford president
David Starr Jordan and Luther Burbank. The American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant
Mortality was one of
the first organizations to begin investigating infant mortality rates in terms
of eugenics. They promoted
government intervention in attempts to promote the health of future citizens.
Several feminist reformers advocated an agenda of eugenic legal
reform. The National Federation of Women's Clubs, the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and the National
League of Women Voters were
among the variety of state and local feminist organization that at some point
lobbied for eugenic reforms. One of the
most prominent feminists to champion the eugenic agenda was Margaret Sanger, the leader of the American birth control movement. Margaret Sanger saw
birth control as a means to prevent unwanted children from being born into a
disadvantaged life, and incorporated the language of eugenics to advance the
movement. Sanger
also sought to discourage the reproduction of persons who, it was believed,
would pass on mental disease or serious physical defect. She advocated
sterilization in cases where the subject was unable to use birth control.[21] Unlike
other eugenicists, she rejected euthanasia. For Sanger, it was individual women and
not the state who should determine whether or not to have a child."[7]

Genocide
No one can deny the attempts at genocide going on today.
ISIS and others intend to eliminate the "People Of The Book"(Christians
and Jews). Never, in the history of the world, have the Christians and Jews
been murdered, scattered and subjected to second class status as we see
happening today. Satan is being very effective in using the False religion of
Islam to work up it's adherents into frenzied killing episodes. Anti-Christianism,
anti-Semitism and Christophobia are running rampant even in the United States ,
which was founded as a Christian Nation.
Euthanasia
The Bible recognizes the value of the elderly, which is
probably the main reason the secular humanists denigrate the elderly. "Job 12:12, "Wisdom is
with the aged with long life is understanding." "The gray head is a
crown of glory if it be found in the way of righteousness. Somebody old who has
walked a long time in the path of righteousness is a treasure, a treasure of
wisdom and a treasure of experience and a treasure of understanding, a
triumphant Christian who has fought the battle over and over and over and been
victorious, who has experienced everything that the young are waiting to
experience...become a great treasure to the church."[8]
"America is now the oldest society
in the history of the world. There has never been a society with this
percentage of older people.
They tell us in
25 years one out of every five people will be over 65 and one out of every ten
will be over 80. The graying of America .
We know it's here. We see it all around us."[9]
“Gray hair is a glorious crown; it is found in
the way of righteousness” (Proverbs 16:31).
“Happy
is a man who finds wisdom and who acquires understanding… She is more precious
than jewels; nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right
hand; in her left, riches and honor” (Proverbs 3:13, 15-16).
“Remember
the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will
tell you, your elders, and they will teach you” (Deuteronomy 32:7).
“Do
not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,
older women as mothers, and with all propriety…” (1 Timothy 5:1-2).
“You
are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old… I am the Lord”
(Leviticus 19:32).
“Listen
to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is
old” (Proverbs 23:22).

"Euthanasia is
categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. Voluntary euthanasia is legal in some countries, U.S. states,
and Canadian Provinces. Non-voluntary
euthanasia is illegal
in all countries. Involuntary euthanasia is usually considered murder. As
of 2006, euthanasia is the most active area of research in contemporary bioethics.
In
some countries there is a divisive public controversy over the moral, ethical,
and legal issues of euthanasia. Those who are against euthanasia may argue for
the sanctity of life, while proponents of euthanasia rights emphasize
alleviating suffering, and preserving bodily integrity, self-determination, and
personal autonomy. Jurisdictions
where euthanasia or assisted suicide is
legal include the Netherlands, Colombia, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, Belgium,
Luxemourg, Estonia, Albania, the US states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Vermont and, starting in 2015, the Canadian
Province of Quebec"[10]
Students
of Death: Euthanasia Doctors Seek Existential Answers at Auschwitz .
"A group of Belgium 's leading practitioners of euthanasia
recently visited the Auschwitz concentration
camp memorial to learn more about death and humanity. The trip proved to be
just as controversial for the doctors as it did insightful. Distelmans, who is the chairman of the Belgian
government's Euthanasia Commission, has invited all of them on a trip to Poland . In Auschwitz he intends to reflect with them on the meaning
of "death with dignity". That's also the title of the tour, which is
printed on the program booklet. It has to do with existential questions:
self-determination, fear and freedom -- and what these things mean to us today.
And it concerns how far we go, should go, and should be allowed to go."[11]
Their goal was to determine what could be called "death with dignity.
Infanticide
Last but not least, we discuss infanticide. If this gets
popular enough there won't be much need for the above categories. The only ones
left alive will be the elites. It has been estimated that half of the black
population of the US
has come to its end in abortion clinics. Margaret Sanger would be proud of the
accomplishments of her abortion promotion. Although Planned Parenthood is the
largest abortion provider in the US , it only accounts for about 10
percent of the abortions performed here. Does that tell you how many other
places that are available, where you can get your baby killed?
Just for perspective -
Almost 50 times as many
people have died in our country's abortion clinics than in all the wars in our
country's history.

"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's
branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced and
began to speak.....in the end, through simple illustrations, I believed I had
accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were
proffered." Margaret Sanger
Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood
Margaret Sanger and Political Correctness
As per our usual practice, my husband asked me to
proof read his recently written paper entitled “Eugenics, Genocide, Euthanasia,
and Infanticide”. However, as I read it,
I began to do further research specifically on Margaret Sanger and her
connection with both eugenics and infanticide.
I decided to add my findings as a co-author, to my husbands already more
expansive topic.
For purposes of full disclosure, I confess that I am a
Christian; therefore, generally speaking I am against abortion, but I am not
against the use of contraception. In
addition, knowing that some of my readers may have had the unfortunate
experience of having a planned abortion, I want to make clear that having an
abortion, like any other sin is forgivable through confession of sin
to the Lord; Jesus is full of mercy and grace.
Neither judgment nor heaping on guilt or shame is meant to have any part
in what I wish to share with you.
Remember, we have all sinned and fallen short of the mark, for only God
is good and totally righteous. The only
righteousness that man can ever give thanks for is none of his own making, but only
that which is imparted to us through faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord
and Savior.
At one time, President Clinton is reported to have said
that abortion is meant to be legal, safe, and rare. Well, it has been made
legal through our court system. That is
a change for the convenience of mankind, but it does not change the fact that
God’s law, “to choose life,” has not and will not be changed. Unfortunately, the passing of Roe v. Wade,
may have made abortions legal, but the “safe’ part, though being safer
than self administered abortions of times past, is still left in a very
questionable state as seen through the recent trial of one such abortion mill
doctor, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, and the horror stories that are hushed up to
prevent the public from finding out some of the atrocities being committed in
many of the abortion mills across the United States and elsewhere. Only one news channel covered the trial
fully, all other media chose to give little or no attention to reporting the
true facts, for they did not fit the politically correct agenda. What about the third point; are abortions
rare, only for the extreme cases of a true threat to the life of the mother, or
for cases of rape or incest? The
statistics are that presently, approximately 70,000,000 babies have been
aborted in the U.S.
alone. I doubt very seriously that
anyone could consider that to be rare or used only for the extreme reasons that
I have previously mentioned. Instead of
being rare, abortions have been performed, even up to and including partial
birth abortions executed during the nine month of pregnancy, are now considered
legal but not rare. Abortions are not
rare, but rather “abortion on demand” even for the simplest of reasons that the
pregnancy has just become an inconvenience.
As if that wasn’t horrific enough, now we have the sale of the organs of
the babies, or the PC term ‘fetus’.
I do not intend to draw you into an argument concerning the
pros and cons of the practice of abortion.
Rather, my intent is to expose the much more sinister and evil roots of
the abortion mills, for it is not the simple offer of a woman’s right to do as
she wishes with her own body as the founder, Margaret Sanger and her
supporters, would have us believe.
Let us delve into the fiendish beliefs that allowed her to
use contraception, a seemingly good benefit as seen in the eyes of many, as a
cover for her deeper beliefs and motives.
That is merely the visible element that is used as a front, or a
delusion, that the invisible and evil ulterior motives and far reaching mission
may be hidden from view, in order the keep the public masses fooled and unaware
of the real purposes. When all the
layers of the onion are pulled back, what do we see at the core of Margaret
Sanger’s true mission? Let me give you
some facts, many are from her own published words will expose the evil that is
hidden. You are free to make up your own
mind, deny the bigger truth, or truly look at it for what it really is with
eyes wide open.
The pro-eugenics book, “Passing of the Great Race,
introduced to you at the beginning of my husbands work, is at the core of what
lies behind the beginnings of the real mission, or desired end result, of
Margaret Sanger’s work. The previously
mentioned book by Madison Grant was written in 1916. Stephen Gould called it “the most influential
tract of American scientific racism”.
One of Grant’s biggest fans was Adolph Hitler, who called it “My Bible”. We know from history how that played out in
Hitler’s attempts to exterminate Jews, homosexuals, the disabled, and many more
during his reign. By the time his use of
eugenics became more openly known, many in America who had praised Grant’s
ideas had walked away from it, but Margaret Sanger held fast to its principles
much longer. In fact, she highly
recommended the reading of this book in list of references for her followers to
read and study.
Because of the idea of who was deemed to be unfit to
reproduce many were sterilized, and forced to have abortions, often without
even being informed of the procedures being done. I wonder what qualifications were used to
decide who would be included in the group of persons to select those persons
who were seen to be “unfit.” We know
that the Nazis determined that Jews were unfit, not just for reproduction, but
to even continue to live. Christians,
who helped Jews, were obviously also determined to be unfit, along with the
disabled, or others such as epileptics, etc.
Can you imagine having a group of little gods who would be in charge of
determining who must die because the group made such a decision with their
finite minds?
The contraception issue is very benign in comparison to
what she desired to bring about in the world.
When confronted with the truth, we should hear the alarm of pure
racism. The politically correct agenda
endeavors to cover up the hidden bases of hatred and evil that formed the bases
of Margaret Sanger’s ultimate agenda.
The valid use of contraception is used
as a cover up to tell us “nothing here, only sex education and the use
of contraceptives,” but if we will honestly delve into the deeper understanding
of her true agenda we should be able to break through that fake façade to
discover the more sinister motivation of her movement.. So let us begin!
The following are direct
quotes from an article entitled:
"Margaret Sanger
Quotes, History, and
Biography"
(liveaction.org)
“Margaret Sanger promoted negative eugenics which is the
attempt to “improve” the human population by discouraging “unfit” people from
reproducing. The “unfit” people included the poor, the sick, the disabled, and
the “feeble-minded,” the “idiots,” the “morons,” and the “insane.” And
“discouragement” from reproducing included the use of force. In her 1920 book, Woman and the New Race, Sanger wrote that birth control “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.”
Through it all the underlying theme, “eliminating the
unfit”, never changed. In her 1922 book, The Pivot of Civilization, she
attacked charity as counterproductive, and dangerous, for helping the poor to
produce even more “human waste,” Sanger’s term for the children of the poor. She wrote, “Organized charity is itself the
symptom of a malignant social disease.” And, “Instead of decreasing and aiming
to eliminate the stocks [of people] that are most detrimental to the future of
the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant.”
And in 1939, Sanger went to work “cultivating the garden,”
meaning weeding out the unfit. She
initiated the Negro Project to weed out the unfit from the black population. In
bringing birth control to the then largely poor (i.e. unfit) population of the
South, with a few influential black ministers promoting the project as the
solution to poverty, Sanger hoped to significantly reduce the black population.
Martin Luther King, Sr., as the eldest son of nine children born into poverty
in a family of sharecroppers, would have made the perfect target for
“elimination.” But his birth had already taken place.
Sanger’s legacy today, which is being carried on by Planned
Parenthood, includes the devastating impact of “birth control” on the black
community. Planned Parenthood has
continued the practice of targeting the black population. Over 30% of all abortions are performed on
black women and close to 40% of black pregnancies end in abortion.
Planned Parenthood successfully created a public image of
an organization working to help the poor, while hiding the reality that it
targets
the vulnerable. That was
Sanger’s plan from the start.”
------ ------------- ------------
I continued my research concerning Margaret Sanger by
reading the information presented on Wikipedia.
You too can read it for yourself to see what your own conclusions may
be. This is the way Wikipedia disregards and excuses their neglect of truthful
and full disclosure of her radical views on racism and eugenics, as seen in the
paragraph below:
"Due to her connection with Planned Parenthood, many
who are opposed to abortion frequently condemn Sanger by criticizing her views
on racial supremacy, birth control, and eugenics.[75][76][note 7] In spite of
such controversies, Sanger
continues to be regarded as a force in the
American reproductive rights
movement and woman's rights movement."
----------
My own reflections concerning
the Wikipedia info:
So from that one short paragraph, we are to come to the
conclusion that her racism and opinion that being poor is a major criteria that
makes one “unfit” for reproduction is simply a minor issue that can not
possibly have any ill effects or influence perpetrated upon the decisions of
who is unfit to reproduce in society? Ha!
They simply gloss it over; choosing to point out that only people who
are against abortion would find such opinions troubling. How deceitful! How is that a full confrontation of her real
basic beliefs and how they influenced everything else that she did? As I read concerning her views of the three
groups that she considered to be lacking enough "responsible control"
concerning planning a family, or using her earlier terminology, family
limitation, she would have considered Catholics, or any families who chose to
have many children, to be "irresponsible," and therefore quite
possibly in need of forced abortions; sterilization, or at the least, mandating the
forced use of contraceptives.
Instead, Wikipedia exalts and celebrates her
promotion of sex education, use of contraception, and women's rights issues
while intentionally
whitewashing or ignoring
completely her racist, and elitist views of just who
she considered to be
"unfit" for reproduction. One such group, considered to be unfit, was
the poor. Does that seem to be an
intelligent basis for you? I can think
of some wonderful poor people who produced some mighty fantastic children, who
grew up to be even more fantastic adults.
Conversely, I can think of some very rich people who produced children
that turned out to be a bit less than what is considered to be either
outstanding or admirable people.
She was a socialist and a humanist. Perhaps that’s why she never heard of the
concept or possibility that, especially in America, if one works hard, strives
to get an education, and strikes out to do and be the best that he can, maybe
he can even become the president of the U.S., or whatever he puts his mind and
efforts into becoming. A person’s
economic status does not determine what kind of a parent you will be or the
quality of children that you may produce, yet the poor were automatically being
deemed as unfit for reproduction. We
have already mentioned that Martin Luther King, Sr. was from a very poor family
and would have been considered and excellent target; therefore, under this
plan, Martin Luther King would never have been born.
Margaret Sanger remained a part of the eugenics movement
even after many of the other founders and luminaries disavowed it due to
Hitler’s actions. Under her beliefs such people as Dr. Ben Carson, the
neurosurgeon who was the first to separate conjoined twins, would never have
been born. His mother was a single
parent, poor, and illiterate. Yet she
raised this great man. I have epilepsy,
making me a target for sterilization, denied the right to have my three
children. Today, with the study of
genes, it is possible to determine who might have the genes that may possibly
produce certain diseases that may cause disabilities. For example, the disease ALS, also known as
Lou Gehrig’s disease, if that gene had been present in his parent(s), Lou
Gehrig, the baseball player would not been born. Neither would Stephen Hawing been born. Who is he?
He also has ALS, a motor neuron disease, which confines him
completely to a wheel chair and is so
disabled that he can not even speak, but speaks with the use of a
computer. Disabled, shouldn’t he be
considered unfit also? Who is he that he
should matter? Have you ever heard of
the Cern’s Large Hadron Collider? It is
the huge instrument being used by the top scientists today in the endeavor to
break down elements even smaller than an atom.
Stephen Hawking is one of those scientists. He is a physicist, and a Cosmologist.
I ask you to do your own research. This is by no means an extensive coverage of
the dark and sinister motives that lie at the very foundations of the formation
of Planned Parenthood as established by Margaret Sanger. If you search further you will be able to
discern for yourself, just what groups of people are being most affected and
diminished by this method of population control. No, don’t take my word for it. Draw your own conclusions. For me, I would much rather leave the
decision of who is “fit” to reproduce in the hands of the Lord God Almighty,
whose wisdom and knowledge is infinite, not finite as is the mind of
mankind. Atrocities, such as using
aborted babies to harvest their organs to sell for financial gain, always occur
when man tries to step into the role that belongs to only God.
Obvious conclusions -
It can be easily seen that the Eugenics, Genocide,
Euthanasia and Infanticide views of today are directly attributable to the
false teaching of Darwinism in place of the truth of the Bible. Once God is
removed from the equation, anything goes. Once someone believes that they are
simply an animal, who has no relationship to God, or that there isn't any such
thing as God, there are then no restrictions on anything a person wants to do.
The problem with this thinking is that God is real; and there are consequences
for going against His laws. Yes, there really are absolutes!
The United
States , as well as some other countries,
have one , and only one chance to avoid the catastrophic judgments that are so
rightly disserved. The populations of
these countries need to be begging the Christians and Jews to pray: "If
my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"[13]. Otherwise, welcome to the tribulation.
