No kidding? An advocate for birth control, over-population, and the Catholic Church? Doesn't seem possible.

Regards,

People should read Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. It has plenty to say about Margaret Sanger. And while Margaret Sanger believed in birth control for the so-called inferior races such as black people, she thought the process of abortion was barbaric -- even for blacks.

p.s. for the Liberals reading this, I put in the words so-called before "inferior races" to show that I didn't agree with such an assessment. Keep that in mind Liberals before I am excoriated on the D.U. or the Daily Kos.

Thank you.

“The most merciful thing a large family can do for one of its infant members is to kill it.”
~ Margaret Sanger

For the cult of Sanger and Kinsey,

Look at how your “sex education” programs in the Pubic Schools has affected the out-of-wedlock birth rate for all races, and especially for blacks.

When you Sangerites and Kinseyites told the school boards that your programs would *REDUCE* the out-of-wedlock birthrate, you either did not know what you were talking about, or you were LYING.

Do you honestly believe a disclaimer means anything to those vile, inferior, deranged creatures of the Dark Universe or the whinny-babies at the Daily Kowtowing Obeisant Sycophants?

Our country’s population will continue to increase regardless of whether we have more birth control or not. Immigration is responsible for 75% of our increased population, i.e., 100 million since 1970 and the projected 135 million increase in the next 40 years. By 2060, we will be a nation approaching half a billion and growing.

Ever hear of "Catholics for Choice?" This is her issue finally making it big time... she has to stand up for America, baseball and apple pie, or she can't subvert America, baseball and apple pie.

Mike Wallace: "her crusade, a crusade which still faces the reasoning, but unalterable opposition of the Roman Catholic Church."

(Isn't Mike Wallace pushing cigarettes as being better because they're non-filtered.)

The Harry Reason Center's title is inexplicable. She names her mother as "born Catholic" and her father as a stern atheist. "It was a pleasure to strike out at an archaic law." Wallace even explores whether she was motivated by a hatred for the church. (She denies this, but Wallace asked.)

Sanger in this film: "I think the opposition is mainly from the heirarchy of the Catholic church... It's not normal, it's not natural, it has the wrong attitude towards marriage, love, sex and woman... I mean how do they know? they're celebates. They don't know love"

"You reject the Catholic principle against birth control as being totally invalid? What do you think their motive is?"

Sanger: “When I say we, I mean non-Catholics”

Wallace stating a quote she denies: “It’s not only wrong, I should like to see the government prohibit any religious group from banning contraception among its own people.” She accused the reporter or lying.

Sanger: “I suppose I should call myself Episcopalian by religion.”

Sanger: “I think the greatest sin in the world is to bring children into the world.” (She qualifies this immediately, but of ways someone couldn’t possibly predict before conception, such as delinquency, imprisonment, etc.”

Margaret Sanger has missed the boat completely here.

Yes the priests are celibate but to say they know nothing of love of family ignores the fact that these men came from families. They do know about love, devotion, and the honoring of spouses by watching the actions of their parents and their parishioners.

Sanger looks bitter and confrontational.

Just returned from a Catholic Men's Conference yesterday and I was stuck how the priests talked about their being celibate not because they are told to, but they remain celibate by their love and obedience to God. They reminded all of us there that we remain faithful to our wives and children not because we're told to do so, but we do so because of our love to God, our wife and children.

Sanger has completely dismissed any love of God in her bitter accusations of the church.

This was not a happy woman. She missed so much.

The walls around socialist countries are to keep the people in not those willing to come out.

People flee to freedom not into slavery.

The point is that we have control over our population growth that has nothing to do with birth control or infringing the liberties of Americans. Since 1970 our population has increased by 100 million and we will increase another 135 million within the next 40 years. This is like moving the combined populations of Mexico and Canada to the US. 75% of our population increase comes from immigration.

The point is...people will be trying to get back out when the whole thing goes flop.

The thing that keeps them coming is opportunity.

Where are they going to go? If we destroy this country, which is more than a nation state, we eliminate the last best hope for Man. The entire globe will descend again into the darkness without the benevolent superpower that defended the weak, the powerless, the oppressed and those yearning to be free.

Importing poverty and socialists from the third world thru mass immigration will destroy this country.
