Were you taken back by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg's recent admission that Roe v. Wade was decided because persons were worried about "populations that we don't want to have too many of"? Ginsburg's atavistic views can be traced back to the pioneering work of Margaret Sanger, the celebrated American feminist who later founded Planned Parenthood. Beyond her feverish crusade to convince women to use birth control, Sanger was an unapologetic eugenicist. In her book The Pivot of Civilization she wrote, "More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief issue of birth control." In...

There is a new documentary out exposing the racism in the abortion movement. It was produced by Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics and is called Maafa21. I have not bought or watched it yet, but I have read reviews from those who have watched it, and they say it is excellent. One lady said her semi-pro-life husband remarked it will change the landscape of the abortion fight. Here is the description: "They were stolen from their homes, locked in chains and taken across an ocean. And for more than 200 years, their blood and sweat would help to build the...

We'll take moral responsibility for Scott Roeder's actions if the American Left will agree to take moral responsibility for the actions of Ted Kaczynski and Bill Ayers. Oh, and you "pro-choice" people need to own up to the eugenics views of Margaret Sanger. Deal?

Appearing before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was confronted in a way she probably wasn't expecting. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., asked the secretary to account for her comments the previous month, when she accepted the Margaret Sanger Award from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously," Clinton had said in March, "her courage, her tenacity, her vision ... And when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of...

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 23, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was confronted on her avowed commitment to eugenicist Margaret Sanger's global agenda, and asked whether the Obama administration would work to overturn pro-life laws around the world - a priority that Clinton confirmed. In a hearing to discuss the Obama administration's foreign policy, New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith questioned Clinton on her statements upon receiving Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger award on March 27. Clinton had said she was "really in awe" of the Planned Parenthood founder. "The 20th century reproductive...

In a speech to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Awards Gala, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she admires "Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision." Secretary Clinton said she is "really in awe of" Sanger for Sanger's early work in Brooklyn, New York, "taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions." Immediately following a trip to Mexico's Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the pro-life movement, Mrs. Clinton travelled to Texas on March 28, where she was awarded the Margaret Sanger Award by Planned Parenthood. She told...

Lagos — On March 27, 2009 in Houston, Texas, United States, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, founded by eugenicist Ms. Margaret Louise Sanger, bestowed the Margaret Sanger award on Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, American Secretary of State, for her untiring efforts in spreading Sanger's teaching in the world. Gleefully receiving the award, Mrs. Clinton hailed Margaret Sanger as a role model. She praised her for purportedly providing "women and girls everywhere the opportunities" they deserve to fulfill their potentials as mothers, as workers and, as human beings. She said that the work of Margaret Sanger's in the United States and...

"We want fewer and better children ... and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us." That ghastly pro-eugenics message appeared in the introduction to Margaret Sanger's 1922 book, "The Pivot of Civilization." In a little-noticed incident, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced that she is "really in awe" of Sanger. "The 20th century reproductive rights movement, really embodied in the life and leadership of Margaret Sanger, was one of the most transformational in the entire history of the human...

"We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Can you imagine supporting someone with your money and your vote who feels this way? Can you imagine heralding the person who said these things as some sort of hero and then rallying behind those who support this person's vision? Unthinkable, isn't it? These words were uttered by Margaret Sanger, founder of abortion giant, Planned Parenthood. Yes, the founder of Planned Parenthood was a known racist and eugenicist. Her goal was to rid...

Kinsey, Darwin and the sexual revolution by Jerry Bergman Alfred Kinsey is the father of the modern Western sexual revolution. A review of the life and work of Kinsey reveals Darwinism was critically important in his crusade to overturn traditional sexual morality. He tried achieving this goal by convincing the public and the scientific world that what was widely regarded as deviant behaviour then, including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, sadomasochism and paedophilia, were all widely practiced and therefore ‘normal’ and acceptable. Kinsey’s conclusions have now been shown by extensive empirical research to be fatally flawed. Kinsey’s sexual revolution has caused major...

… from the point of view of crime fiction author Chuck Hustmyre, writing at the American Thinker: … In modern America, racism means anything you want it to mean. If you want a job you’re not be qualified for, or you don’t want to work at all but still want to get paid, or if you want to stop someone from doing something, or you want to punish someone for doing something, just scream racism at the top of your lungs until your lawyer gets someone to pay you to shut up.Interestingly, whenever something is said or done that is...

Secretary of State Clinton expresses admiration for Margaret Sanger and confusion about Our Lady of Guadalupe. A day before receiving the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s highest honor – the “Margaret Sanger Award” – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton paid a visit to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, leaving a bouquet of white flowers “on behalf of the American people,” and asking the basilica’s rector, “Who painted it?”

A day before receiving the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s highest honor – the “Margaret Sanger Award” – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton paid a visit to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, leaving a bouquet of white flowers “on behalf of the American people,” and asking the basilica’s rector, “Who painted it?” In response to Clinton’s question, basilica rector Msgr. Diego Monroy responded, “God!” The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously imprinted by Mary on the cloak of St. Juan Diego in 1531. According to a report from Catholic News Agency, Msgr....

Angela Franks, author and Ph.D. of theology, linked the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, to the eugenics movement of the first half of the 20th century, while arguing that elements of eugenics - which attempts to improve the quality of the gene pool through selective fertility - are still present in today's organization. "We know Margaret Sanger because she established an institution and gave eugenics staying power inside an institution," Franks said. Franks lectured on "Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood: The Eugenics Connection" Wednesday night in DeBartolo Hall. According to Franks, Sanger, who is popularly known for her efforts...

Margaret Sanger, the leader of the birth control movement in America, talks to Wallace about why she became an advocate for birth control, over-population, the Catholic Church, and morality.

TAMARAC, Fla. -- A South Florida woman was arrested after police said she poisoned baby food products in a grocery store. Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives said they arrested a 50-year-old Shirley Ybarra of Sunrise after she went into the baby food aisle of a Publix grocery store at Commercial Boulevard and 411 in Tamarac and donned rubber gloves before mixing an acrid, black substance into baby food and juice containers. Store surveillance video showed Ybarra wheeling her shopping cart down the aisle, where she worked on the jars and bottles for about 15 minutes as shoppers and employees passed unaware....

This is my closing address at the annual convention of the National Right to Life Committee held last week in Arlington, Virginia.Once again this year, the National Right to Life convention is partly a reunion of veterans from battles past and partly a youth rally of those recruited for the battles to come. And that is just what it should be. The pro-life movement that began in the 20th century laid the foundation for the pro-life movement of the 21st century. We have been at this a long time, and we are just getting started. All that has been...

“War Is Peace.” “Freedom is Slavery.” “Ignorance is Strength.” These slogans are spoken in Newspeak, the fictional language of George Orwell’s twisted utopia in 1984. By removing meaning from words and increasing state control over speech—and thought—Newspeak is designed to manipulate those who hear it. In California, Newspeak is now spoken fluently by those who seek to advance a political agenda in healthcare by avoiding scrutiny. Under the guise of “access to primary care,” the Regents of the University of California have been conducting an experiment on women in Concord, Los Angeles and San Diego. Exploiting a pilot project program...

Planned Parenthood’s efforts to exterminate the babies of those it sees as “unfit” to reproduce will be celebrated today by people that can only be identified properly as evil bastards. The liberal media-Hollywood-political gliterati work tirelessly to fulfill Margaret Sanger’s dreams of murdering millions of Black, Hispanic, Jewish and Roman Catholic babies. These morally bankrupt phonies probably haven’t a clue about the link between Sanger and the Nazis – that’s the real Nazis not Republicans they call Nazis. They show up with their checkbooks “religiously.” Since Roe, Liberals have facilitated the extermination of more than 49 million infants, including 15...

The Elliot Institute has released a report that exposes America's forced abortion epidemic. Elliot Institute spokesperson Amy Solby tells OneNewsNow that one study found 64 percent of women who had abortions reported they felt pressured to abort by others. "Something like 80 percent of them said that they didn't get the counseling they needed to make a good decision, that often they were not given counseling at all, or that the counseling they had was inadequate," she explains.

Hit with declines in funding from the economic crisis and the Madoff scandal, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is laying off around 20% of its staff. Roughly 30 people were let go earlier this week, according to a source who works for the nonprofit. Executives at Planned Parenthood confirmed the layoffs, but declined to give more details. “As with many other nonprofit organizations, Planned Parenthood has had to make staff reductions at our headquarters due to the challenging economic times facing our country,” said Maryana Iskander, chief operating officer at the agency. “While taking this action is never easy,...

Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said Tuesday he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied. "We're on a train headed to the future and there's a bridge out, " LaBruzzo said of what he suspects are dangerous demographic trends. "And nobody wants to talk about it." LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue...

n October 2008, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery opened its “Women of Our Time: Twentieth Century Photographs” exhibit. The collection includes a broad range of history-making women, including First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln and runner Marion Jones. Journalist, author, former ambassador and congresswoman Clare Booth Luce is one of the few conservatives to make the cut. The exhibit is intended to honor women who are or were “significant figures in their chosen fields,” according to curator Ann Shumard. A total of 90 portraits are included in the photographic display. Honored alongside these women is none other than Margaret Sanger...

VIDEO The Smithsonian is honoring one of the 20th century's most notorious eugenics proponents, Margaret Sanger. American Life League exposes Sanger's racist plan to create a "master race."

I've added a link at the top of the latest posts pages to view "Selected Free Republic McCain vs Obama promo videos." We usually only run these kind of promos during our FReepathons, but I thought I'd continue these selected videos until the election is over. We're now receiving nearly 2,000,000 page views per day from 200,000 to 300,000 daily visitors. Half of these visits are from new visitors. I'd like to give them all an opportunity to see and hear the truth about The One, That One, The Marxist Obamessiah. Please bear with me. I'll take them down after...

Washington, DC -- A new exhibit at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery celebrates women's contributions to America but honors a handful of abortion advocates. The exhibit touts Margaret Sanger, the founder of the nation's largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood, and others. Read the full story and take action at: http://www.LifeNews.com/nat4423.html

The face of women who have abortions has shifted significantly in the past 30 years, with relatively fewer white childless teenagers and more mothers of color in their 20s and 30s opting to terminate their pregnancies, according to a report being released today. In the first comprehensive analysis since 1974 of demographic characteristics of women who have abortions, researchers found that the overall drop in the abortion rate has been marked by a dramatic shift, declining more among white women and teenagers than among black and Hispanic and older women. "There's been a real change in the picture of women...

It's part of American folk lore: The man who saves the day and rides off into the sunset without anybody knowing his name. Sometimes he doesn't even leave a silver bullet. Dr. Alexander Langmuir, the father of infectious disease epidemiology, was such a man. "He had an absolutely profound impact on saving lives," said Alan Summer, Dean of the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health and a former student of Langmuir's. "If one wants to include important roles he played, the people he trained and what they've gone on to do, a figure in the millions (of...

Guest Commentary by Dr. Frank Joseph In listening to Obama's speech in Berlin which the MSM (mainstream media) called great, the following sentence by Obama caught my attention: "Look at Berlin where the bullet holes in the buildings and the somber stones and pillars near the Brandenburg Gate insist that we never forget our common humanity." "Our common humanity?" This is what Obama considers being humane: An entire baby is delivered except for the head, which they make sure stays in the birth canal (otherwise it would be murder), then the back of the baby's head is stabbed with scissors,...

Reason #467 why the left must be destroyed... ...Their—and Obama's—love for Margaret Sanger No, I don't mean the people of the left must be destroyed. The people must be rescued from their adherence to this sickness. It's the ideology itself that must be wiped out. Check this out: Most of us know that Margaret Sanger was a disgusting person. She was a eugenicist that made Hitler proud. She wanted to eliminate undesirables from the population. What kind of undesirables? Oh, you know—criminals...the mentally handicapped...Italians—you know: undesirables. She wanted either to exterminate "the negro" or at very least slow the growth...

Colin Mason is the media director of the Population Research Institute. Opinion and editorial articles like this one do not necessarily reflect the views of LifeNews.com. Margaret Sanger is one of the pro-choice movement's iconic figures. She is extolled as a pioneering feminist, health worker, and woman's activist. Her quotes on these subject are treated as scripture. But she was also an outspoken supporter of eugenics, who wanted more children from the fit and sterilization, even segregation, for the unfit. The infamous Negro Project, which targeted Blacks for contraception and sterilization, was one outcome of this.Planned Parenthood, of course,...

June 24, 2008, 7:31 a.m. A Dark PastContraception, abortion, and the eugenics movement. By Jonah Goldberg Editor’s Note: This is an excerpt from Liberal Fascism. Margaret Sanger, whose American Birth Control League became Planned Parenthood, was the founding mother of the birth-control movement. She is today considered a liberal saint, a founder of modern feminism, and one of the leading lights of the Progressive pantheon. Gloria Feldt of Planned Parenthood proclaims, “I stand by Margaret Sanger’s side,� leading “the organization that carries on Sanger’s legacy.� Planned Parenthood’s first black president, Faye Wattleton — Ms. magazine’s “Woman of the Year�...

..."80 percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority neighborhoods." Planned Parenthood officials did not produce a response to this claim. The organization performed 22 percent of all abortions in 2005 (260,000 out of 1.2 million abortions). -snip- Blacks do, indeed, have much higher rates of abortions than whites or other minority groups. In 2000, while blacks made up 17 percent of live births, they made up more than twice that share of abortions (36 percent). If those aborted children had been born, the number of blacks born would have been slightly over 50 percent greater than it was. The...

Report: Planned Parenthood Apologizes for Encouraging Donation Aimed at Aborting Black Babies Monday , March 17, 2008 Planned Parenthood of Idaho has apologized after an employee encouraged a telephone donation aimed at aborting black babies. Officials for the group said last month that the employee made a "serious mistake" encouraging the donation, the Idaho Statesman reports. But Planned Parenthood criticized the publication that made the call — The Advocate, a student anti-abortion magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles — for trying to discredit the organization by having an actor pose as a donor, the Idaho Statesman reports. "A fundraising...

LOS ANGELES, February 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - UCLA’s pro-life student magazine, The Advocate, has revealed an undercover investigation in which representatives of Planned Parenthood enthusiastically accepted a financial donation targeting the abortion of an unborn black baby for racist motives. Lila Rose, editor of The Advocate, says she has taped responses of Planned Parenthood officials from seven states that reveal the eugenic character of their ideology. … Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a proponent of “race hygiene” through “negative eugenics,” an attempt to reduce the fertility of “dysgenic” groups, in the early 20th century. In 1921, she...

They also criticized The Advocate for trying to discredit employees with recorded phone calls Planned Parenthood of Idaho officials apologized Wednesday for what they called an employee's "serious mistake" in encouraging a donation aimed at aborting black babies. They also criticized The Advocate, a right-to-life student magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles, for trying to discredit Planned Parenthood employees in seven states in a series of tape-recorded phone calls last summer. The call to Idaho came in July to Autumn Kersey, vice president of development and marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho. On the recording provided by The Advocate,...

Margaret Sanger would have loved Barack Obama Rev. Clenard H.Childress Clenard Childress March 15, 2008 Revelations of eugenic ideology and the racist practices of Planned Parenthood are unfolding more and more. The public is just beginning to believe what people of conscience have known long ago: Planned Parenthood has diabolically perpetrated their murderous plot to surgically eliminate those they deem undesirable. In other words: kill the babies of unsuspecting minority women by aborting their children. Then, tell them this is a "good thing" for you and your people. No other ethnic group in the United States has been decimated...

According to a book review by Ron Radosh in today's New York Sun, Margaret Sanger is featured prominently in Jonah Goldberg's new book, Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning . Here is a brief excerpt from Radosh's review: Turning to what he calls liberal racism, Mr. Goldberg offers readers his finest chapter. It is a devastating picture of how liberals adopted eugenics — a basic part of Nazi doctrine — which was not, as some liberal intellectuals have argued, an outgrowth of conservative thought. Fans of Margaret Sanger, perhaps the...

By Christopher CookLate yesterday evening, Michelle Malkin posted some samples from a larger set of images of really disgusting promotional materials put out by Planned Parenthood. Take a look at them, and really examine what it is that PP is saying, and to whom they're saying it, and why. Make no mistake: Planned Parenthood has little to nothing to do with parenthood, or children, or families. They don't like children, they don't like families, and in a world that will soon be suffering a precipitous population decline, they're still crowing about overpopulation. Put simply, they don't much like people.There are...

One Quarter of Black Population Missing from Abortion Genocide Says Dr. Alveda King By Hilary White BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, August 24, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Dr. Alveda King, the niece of legendary human rights campaigner, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., told a meeting of Priests for Life, that the killing of a quarter of the black population of the US has not been from the lynch mobs of her childhood days, but from abortionists, “who plant their killing centres in minority neighbourhoods and prey upon women who think they have no hope. “The great irony,” she said, “is that abortion has done...

Given that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's primary purpose in advocating legal abortion was to eliminate "inferior" breeds (what Sanger and the rest of the eugenicist movement meant by this was mental defectives, cripples and, of course, black people), the fact that Planned Parenthood is moving hard into Africa is just carrying out the founder's dream: Aug. 17, 2007 (C-fam.org/CWNews.com) - The UN Population Found (UNFPA) and International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) are ramping up abortion campaigns in Africa, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-Fam) observes. In C-Fam's Friday Fax, Samantha Singson reports that IPPF and UNFPA have...

After Ku Klux Klan Speech: A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups In her autobiography, Margaret Sanger tells us that in 1926 in Silver Lake, New Jersey, she spoke at a Ku Klux Klan rally. Not surprisingly, the made-for-TV movie about Sanger, Choices of the Heart: The Margaret Sanger Story , forgot to mention Maggie's Klan rally speech, but the event has begun to get more attention of late from some commentators. Rereading Sanger's own account of her Ku Klux Klan speech, one thing really jumped out at me the other day. Here are some of the more...

I couldn't help but think of Margaret Sanger when I saw the above cartoon from Kranky's Cartoons. If Margaret Sanger were to return today to Silver Lake to speak once again at a Ku Klux Klan Rally where she spoke 81 years ago, she would certainly say "Mission Accomplished!" Her evidence would be: *In America today, almost as many African-American children are aborted as are born. *A black baby is three times more likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby. *Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent. *Twice as many African-Americans...

Dear FriendsI have enclosed some materials I researched, and I am appending a footnote. I have copies of much of the original materials. And as hard as it is to believe, it is true. One of the main reasons I am so strongly opposed to abortion is because it is built on racial hatred. When talking to many whites in rural areas, the reason they most often say they are for it has nothing to do with women's rights. It is because they say, " I would rather pay for an abortion than for welfare." Their misconception is that...

Apr. 15, 2007-Alveda King didn't mince words about where she stood. "Abortion," she said, "is not a civil right. How can the dream survive if you're killing babies." The niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of about 100 at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Springettsbury Township on Friday that she compares abortion to slavery. "The baby is like a slave in the mother's body," King said. "And the mother is like the master who decides who lives and who dies." King talked about her background and her opposition to abortion and showed several religious...

Here are some outrageous and racist comments by environmentalists. These are compiled and documented in my book Eco-Freaks: Environmentalism Is Hazardous to Your Health. John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club: Muir said American Indians are “mostly ugly, and some of them altogether hideous.” They “seemed to have no right place in the landscape,” he continued. Muir is still honored without qualification on the Sierra Club web site, which proclaims, “John Muir is as relevant today as he was over 100 years ago.” Paul Ehrlich, influential “overpopulation” guru and professor of population studies at Stanford University: In his best-selling book,...
