Doubtful. Artificial selection was around long before Darwin.
Christian Right Ping!
Hey all you Hillary lovers; this woman is her idol.
For me, her abortion rights agenda was the worst of the three.
Sanger said each must be a god unto themselves and her practice of ego worship shows she meant it.
Humans are not designed to live apart from their Creator.
Her philosophy is better than we have now, which is to screw responsible mothers and fathers by forcing them through taxation to subsidize irresponsible breeders who go one to make even more irresponsible breeders.

For the record I am not religious at all but I strongly consider myself a conservative.
I applaud anyone who stands up for religious freedom becuase in essence they are standing up for freedom itself.
There is no reason why a person should not be able to express their views in public simply beacuse they are based upon their religious belief. I call for EVERYONE regardless of how they base their beliefs to be able to have EQUAL representation under the law. MAJORITY RULES!
The left-wing constantly tries to claim that the science is settled from issues on when Life begins, to how mankind effects the weather, to whether or not homosexuality is a corruption or not. The left-wing does not want the People to have any right to representation on any of these issues. The science is settled they claim.
The left-wing wants to ban religion because they think that they can then force others to march lockstep with them.
I applaud Free Republic for opposing such an agenda and for standing up for liberty.
I’m in agreement about disgust for Margaret Sanger and her perverse racist views, but pulling poor old Charles Darwin into it stretches credulity. The Spartans were practicing their own eugenics program 2,000 years before Margaret Sanger, and anyone who’s worked with livestock knew about selective breeding - and there have been other cultures who tried to apply that knowledge to humanity without any knowledge at all of evolution, starting with the king’s harem and systems with arranged marriages. From what I know about Darwin, he was a believing Christian, a really decent man, a person who would be utterly disgusted and revulsed over what people like Sanger, Stalin, and other did with his ideas. If Sanger is roasting in hell for her beliefs, then Darwin is with the Lord crying over the sins of God’s children, wondering why anyone would use ideas from his observations of finches and worms to kill children and wipe out whole races.
And if you’re going to go after Charles Darwin, why not go after Lord Alfred Wallace, whose contribution to the idea of evolution is just as profound as Darwin - and maybe even more important? Just asking.
For the record, Sanger was opposed to abortion (called it an abominable practice). But she WAS an eugenicists and a racist by today’s standards. And she did support forced sterilizations.
Even Planned Parenthood hides the fact that Sanger did not advocate for abortion.

Hope is indelibly engraved in the human heart because God our Father is life, and for eternal life and beatitude we are made.
Every child born is a sign of trust in God and man and a confirmation, at least implicit, of the hope in a future open to God’s eternity that is nourished by men and women. God has responded to this human hope, concealing Himself in time as a tiny human being.
Saint Augustine wrote: “We might have thought that your Word was far distant from union with man, if this Word had not become flesh and dwelt among us” (Conf. X, 43, 69, cited in Spe Salvi, n. 29).
Thus, let us allow ourselves to be guided by the One who in her heart and in her womb bore the Incarnate Word.
O Mary, Virgin of expectation and Mother of hope, revive the spirit of Advent in your entire Church, so that all humanity may start out anew on the journey towards Bethlehem, from which it came, and that the Sun that dawns upon us from on high will come once again to visit us (cf. Lk 1: 78), Christ our God. Amen.

From his homily for the first vespers
of the first Sunday of Advent,

” Darwinism had a profound influence on her thinking, “
“While there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization.”
From the American-Catholic.com
“So Planned Parenthood honors this woman, an unequivocal racist and eugenicist, as a trailblazer and hero of women, particularly poor and ethnic women, and the most noteworthy socio-political cause they champion [abortion], she opposed? The irony, if she did in fact oppose abortion.”
Ah yes...another irrational attack on a scientific theory....all in the name of “defense of religious freedom”....
You’re getting more and more hysterical in your postings. You are desperate to equivalence Evolution, and the people that believe in it, along with legitimate science in general to every dark aspect ever conceived by humanity.
You are a sad example of pointless repetition.
Furthermore, your source, if you read their “about” page are clearly quack biblical literalists, so this article should be given no credence whatsoever. That it is posted by you is additional reason to give it no credence.
Come up with some new material, friend, this schtick is wearing thin.
not defending Sanger but EVERYONE was racist back then by today’s puffy self gratifying arrogance.
