STERILIZATION LAW PASSED BY JERSEY (1934)
Miami Daily News ^ | February 3rd, 1934

Posted on 03/07/2012 11:25:04 AM PST by ProgressingAmerica

TRENTON, Feb. 3.- Long before Chancellor Hitler initiated his plan for the improvement of the Teutonic Race through wholesale sterilization New Jersey placed on her statues a law to accomplish a somewhat similar purpose, and although declared unconstitutional before it could be put into operation, it proved to be the forerunner of many other pieces of legislation having the same end in view.

New Jersey adopted a sterilization act 23 years ago. It was described officially as an act "to authorize and provide for the sterilization of feeble-minded(including idiots, imbiciles and morons) epileptics, rapists, certain criminals and other defectives." It was declared unconstitutional in a memorable by the late Supreme Court Justice Charles G. Garrison, who, after having attained distinction as a surgeon, turned from medicine to the practice of law and became a member of the highest judicial body in the state.

Since then attempts to enact sterilization measures have been made repeately in the legislature, and all of the proposed acts have been along lines corresponding closely with the original law, which gave to a board of examiners of feeble-minded, epileptics, criminals and other defectives the right to decree sterilization.

Note how the bill doesn't mention who the governor of NJ was at that time - Woodrow Wilson.

And auto excerpting was required, but it's a short article.

Probably cheaper than the abortion tactics used today by the liberals to get the same p[urp[ose.

Blacks haven’t realised yet why so many of them are being aborted.Planned Parenthood genocide.

“Progressives do not want to discuss their own history....”

They don’t want to discuss their own history, because “that’s old news”.

Progressives seem to believe old news doesn’t matter. That was then....just like the way they perceive, and address our Constitution. It’s old news, doesn’t matter now.

I can’t help but notice they keep stating the Constitution was written by a bunch of old white guys that have been dead a long time, and we need a new Constitution.

I notice the Progressives attitude towards GOD is similar. Old news that doesn’t matter anymore.

There’s a theme to all of this.

This comes as no surprize.

Does the name “Planned Parenthood” ring a bell? Eugenics and sterilizations was (and still is) the goal of Margaret Sanger and other pro-death Hitler-like wanna-be’s.
