Margaret Sanger

In the past I have made references to Planned Parenthood’s founder, the racist, eugenicist Margaret Sanger. I have written about how she was inspired by Darwin to see to it that people who were unfit to produce quality “stock” should not be allowed to have children.

This Darwinian belief led her to champion birth control and Planned Parenthood, which are based on someone more evolved planning your parenthood for you, controlling your births. It was never about “reproductive rights” or “access to healthcare.” In her words, “Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.” To prove my point, I just want to let Sanger speak for herself; here are some of my favorite Margaret Sanger quotes:

“The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

“[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”

(That is from her book Women and the New Race, in a chapter titled “The Wickedness of Creating Large Families)

In April of 1932 in Birth Control Review, Sanger argued for people to be required to have permits before they could have children (both mother and father would be required to obtain one), and that a new permit would be needed for a second child; she said families should have no more than two children. The purpose was “to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit.”

She also suggested that people with “bad genes” be given the option of segregation or sterilization. So nice of her to let them choose. Maybe this where they get the label “pro-choice.”

My personal favorite shows her detestation towards black people, which she (along with Charles Darwin) thought were less evolved than white people:

“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.”

Her reference to not wanting the word to get out does not mean that they were opposed to exterminating black people; that was her goal. The minister would serve as a propaganda tool to keep the Negros from figuring it out.

Exterminate the Negro population? Did you know that the number one killer of black people is abortion?

Did you also know that more people were aborted last year than died in the entire War on Terror?

Did you know that more people have died at the hands of abortion doctors than at the hands of the Nazis? Or in all of World War II for that matter.

And Margaret Sanger is viewed as a hero. She should be in the same boat as bin Laden and Hitler.

They glorify this woman and make no mention at all of her racist beliefs. Selective memory at it's best. I wonder how she would have felt having a Negro (her word not mine) President "blessing" her organization.
lol, good point Elaine. I don't like having any president bless her organization, and saying "God bless" it is perverse.

It should have been "God help." It actually made me feel a little sick hearing that. Blasphemous.

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the “A” word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the “D” word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boy’s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he

Evangelism

“Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.” St. Francis of Assisi is given credit for this famous quote (although that exact phrasing does not appear in any of his writings), and a lot of people would think that this is a great philosophy. His actual quote was that everyone should “preach by their deeds.” Preaching with our deeds is not just a strategy, it is a necessity. We are commanded all through the Scriptures to let our light shine and be a peculiar people. People should be able to look at our lives and see that we are Christians. They should see the love of Christ readily on display, and thus feel compelled to live their lives in the same way. The sermon that we should preach with our lives is a sermon of love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, forgiveness, conviction, etc. But this idea that has emerged that says we should ONLY preach with our deeds is a heresy straight from the devil himself. Think about it: who is the one that does not want you t

What is a Curse Word?

I know. Stupid question, right? But lately I have heard Christians begin to debate what actually makes a word a curse word. Since the Bible never says, “Thou shalt not say the ‘s’ word,” how do we know that a word is bad? Because of this I have heard Christians justify cursing. The Bible gives a broad command for Christians to adhere to: let no corrupt word come out of your mouth (Ephesians 4:29). The word corrupt means rotten; therefore, we should never say a rotten word, whether it is on the list of curse words or not. First, we have to realize that there are curse words. On the night of Jesus’ arrest Peter was found guilty of using one himself. Matthew 26:74 tells us that when Peter denied knowing Jesus that he began “to curse and to swear.” This verse shows that there are curse words, and that they are wrong to use. I’m sure whatever words Peter said were not the same curse words that we have in our culture today. Here is the point: a curse word (or rotten word) is any wo
