The Prophetic Margaret Sanger Dr. Paul Kengor
President Obama has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to feminist icon Gloria Steinem. Steinem, in turn, said she hopes Obama’s action “honor[s] the work of Margaret Sanger,” liberalism’s iconic racial eugenicist.
It indeed has.
Margaret Sanger longed for a time when birth control would be (as she put it) “part of the regular welfare service of the government.” In this, she was inspired by Stalin’s Soviet Union—literally. In 1934, she undertook a hope-filled, fact-finding pilgrimage to Moscow. She was greatly impressed.
Upon her return, Sanger glowingly reported that “there are no obstacles to birth control in Russia. It is accepted … on the grounds of health and human right.” She said of America: “[W]e could well take example from Russia, where there are no legal restrictions, no religious condemnation, and where birth control instruction is part of the regular welfare service of the government.”
But there was more to Margaret Sanger’s vision. She wanted to advance what she called “race improvement.” She lamented America’s “race of degenerates.” This meant purging the landscape of its “human weeds.” This included a “Negro Project” especially close to Sanger’s heart.
Not surprisingly, among those most impressed with Sanger’s work was the KKK. The Klan invited the progressive heroine to one of their celebrations. She accepted. Margaret Sanger addressed her hooded brethren at a KKK rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey in 1926.
Today, Sanger’s Planned Parenthood is America’s most prolific killer of black Americans.
And now, in 2013, America’s first black president honors Gloria Steinem with an award that Steinem says honors Margaret Sanger.
The Devil works in mysterious ways.

Diago, Thank you for posting this. Dr. Kengor is an excellent historian.
Maybe you intend sarcasm, I trust.
Liberals are still human, and murder is murder.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Succinct. Very nice.
Certain obnoxious evil groups can only grow by recruiting with lies.This obviously goes for abortionists.
Thanks for the ping.
OK, I see here in your first post:
“From a strategic viewpoint, keep abortions legal, more clinics in liberal neighborhoods.”
You’re pointing out the strategic advantage of keeping abortion legal, not necessarily that you promote it.
I knew you were serious.
But you are seriously lost.
Man, that's one harsh point of view.
Those babies are innocent until proven guilty. I was raised in a virulently liberal Democrat household, but no way in hell am I a liberal Democrat today, though my Dad was until the day he died, and my Mom still is. I have stopped discussing politics with her, it only upsets both of us.
Don't condemn the innocent to murder. Figure out some better way to win that war.
The strategic killing done in warfare is supposed to be restricted to military combatants, not civilians, and certainly not babies. I think (I hope!) Fee is making a point by using outrageous examples and descriptions.
Abortion should never be used as a weapon of war, same as napalm on children. It's just evil, and bargaining with the Devil to win a war is not a good long-term strategy.
IIRC, one of the main Douchebagger operatives for Gore in the 2000 recount was a Sanger blood descendant. Don’t recall his name.
This might provide some insight ..
“Everybody is vulnerable to the work of Satan” and that “the devil loves to take over those who hold political office.”
Famous exorcist: 'The devil loves to take over those who hold political office'
Sounds fine. Until you ask God about it.
I concur absolutely. I like to believe Fee was noting the irony of the statistics.
