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.

The “Christians Hate Gays” Myth

During these Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) hearings before the Supreme Court I keep hearing how much Christians hate gay people. This was news to me since I am a Christian and I don’t hate gay people. I also go to church with over 1000 other Christians, and if any of them hate gay people, they sure haven’t told me. Before moving to South Carolina I worked at or attended several churches in Texas; prior to that I spent a decade going to church in Florida. Guess what? No one hated gay people. In fact, I don’t know any Christians who hate anybody. The very uniform of a believer is his love, and if a person does not show consistent love, then he is not actually a believer. Are there non-believers who hate gay people and claim to be Christian? Of course. But that doesn’t represent Jesus or His church. Equating  hateful sign-wavers with Christianity is like equating a kindergarten baseball team to the New York Yankees. They may claim to be playing the same

Famous Frauds in Homosexual Science Part 2: Twin Studies

A second piece of shoddy science has been heralded as proving people are born gay. This time, instead of cadavers, living twins were studied. This study compared male identical twins to male fraternal twins; in each set of twins, at least one man was homosexual. 22% of the fraternal twins showed both brothers to be gay, compared to 52% of the identical twins. Since identical twins are closer genetically than fraternal twins, this study claimed that genetics play in to homosexuality, or that people are born gay. But an obvious question that arose from this study is, why did 48% of the identical twins only have one gay brother? If they are so close genetically, then 100% of the identical twins should have two gay brothers. This study does more harm than good to the argument from genetics. There are other factors to be considered. One is that the men doing the study (Richard Pillard and Michael Bailey) could have intentionally picked fraternal twins that the

The Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley

If you have spent much time in church you have probably sung some songs with lyrics like these: “He leads me to his banqueting table, his banner over me is love… Jesus is the rock of my salvation, his banner over me is love.” “Sweetest rose of Sharon, come to set us free.” “He’s the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star…” But are those songs biblical? They come out of the writings of the Song of Solomon, but are we to understand those lines as describing Christ? The Song of Solomon is a collection of love poems that were written between two people who were deeply in love and about to be married. While we know that King Solomon is one of the writers, the other’s name has escaped us, and we know her today simply as the Shulamite woman. Some people believe that since this woman is not named then she never existed; some teach that this book is pure allegory, only existing to serve as symbolism. King Solomon, they say, represents
