Episode dated 21 September 1957

From IMDB:

Mike Wallace interviews Margaret Sanger (1879-1966), who founded Planned Parenthood and coined the term "birth control". She led the campaign to overturn anti-contraception laws, disseminate birth control information and champion free speech.


TOPICS: Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: abortion; parenthood; roe; sanger
I thought this was relevant, in light of the recent events with abortion laws.

I found it very informative, maybe even shcoking.

Eugenics was an American leftist (’progressive’) movement, which was later adopted by the Nazis.

520 of every 1000 black babies is aborted in this country. 80% of Planned Parenthood locations are in low income area.

Margaret Sanger was praised by Hitler because he wanted a country that was ‘blond haired and blue eyed’ and felt that Sanger was the way to do this...

Then Hillary Clinton praised Margaret Sanger as her ‘MENTOR’ and said she was a very great person...

Being Democrat, Hillary Clinton would love someone like this, keeping everyone ‘on the plantations’ like the old Democrats did to the Black Community in the Slave Days...now they keep them in places like Detroit; Baltimore and places like that...keep them poor, uneducated and living on the Government...

Thank goodness we have missed that bullet in voting and getting President Trump...

If you want to ever see the real history of the Democrat party, either see ‘Hillary's America’ or read the book, it makes you understand why they are the RATS they are...

“Eugenics was an American leftist (’progressive’) movement...”
And the KKK was a Democrat movement.
Why truth so escapes black Americans mystifies me. (There’s one rather inescapable explanation, but I’ll not say it.)

The following (A Plan for Peace, Margaret Sanger) was published in Birth Control Review (April 1932, pp. 107-108):
A Plan for Peace
by MARGARET SANGER

First, put into action President Wilson's fourteen points, upon which terms Germany and Austria surrendered to the Allies in 1918.

Second, have Congress set up a special department for the study of population problems and appoint a Parliament of Population, the directors representing the various branches of science: this body to direct and control the population through birth rates and immigration, and to direct its distribution over the country according to national needs consistent with taste, fitness and interest of individuals. The main objects of the Population Congress would be:

a. to raise the level and increase the general intelligence of population.

b. to increase the population slowly by keeping the birth rate at its present level of fifteen per thousand, decreasing the death rate below its present mark of 11 per thousand.

c. to keep the doors of immigration closed to the entrance of certain aliens whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race, such as feebleminded, idiots, morons, insane, syphilitic, epileptic, criminal, professional prostitutes, and others in this class barred by the immigration laws of 1924.

d. to apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.

e. to insure the country against future burdens of maintenance for numerous offspring as may be born of feebleminded parents, by pensioning all persons with transmissible disease who voluntarily consent to sterilization.

f. to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.

g. to apportion farm lands and homesteads for these segregated persons where they would be taught to work under competent instructors for the period of their entire lives.

The first step would thus be to control the intake and output of morons, mental defectives, epileptics.

The second step would be to take an inventory of the secondary group such as illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope-fiends; classify them in special departments under government medical protection, and segregate them on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct.

Having corralled this enormous part of our population and placed it on a basis of health instead of punishment, it is safe to say that fifteen or twenty millions of our population would then be organized into soldiers of defense---defending the unborn against their own disabilities.

The third step would be to give special attention to the mothers' health, to see that women who are suffering from tuberculosis, heart or kidney disease, toxic goitre, gonorrhea, or any disease where the condition of pregnancy disturbs their health are placed under public health nurses to instruct them in practical, scientific methods of contraception in order to safeguard their lives---thus reducing maternal mortality.

The above steps may seem to place emphasis on a health program instead of on tariffs, moratoriums and debts, but I believe that national health is the first essential factor in any program for universal peace.

With the future citizen safeguarded from hereditary taints, with five million mental and moral degenerates segregated, with ten million women and ten million children receiving adequate care, we could then turn our attention to the basic needs for international peace.

There would then be a definite effort to make population increase slowly and at a specified rate, in order to accommodate and adjust increasing numbers to the best social and economic system.

In the meantime we should organize and join an International League of Low Birth Rate Nations to secure and maintain World Peace.
Summary of address before the New History Society, January 17th, New York City

She was a major player in the eugenics movement – a movement that caused the compulsory sterilization laws in 30 U.S. states that resulted in more than 60,000 sterilizations of disabled – the people Sanger deemed “weeds”. Sterilization was her method of ‘weed’ prevention – ie birth control. She laid out a plan “to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization” - “to take an inventory of the.. illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope-fiends; classify them in special departments under government medical protection, and segregate them on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct. “

google it. Try black abortion rate.

It’s generally 4-5 times that of whites.

Sanger was a racist eugenics supporter.

Read up on how the second and third teir Nazi’s started to defend them selves at Nuremberg when the death sentences started to get handed down...

Defense handed in Planned Parenthood materials... stating it came from the USA so how am I guilty!! I honestly think that is why the trials quickly wrapped up.

Eugenics and social Darwinism... read the book Rape of Nanking.. it really explains how the Japanese society took on social Darwinism and eugenics... much like our liberal demoncrats

Eugenics.

Yes, there is no doubt that Margaret Sanger was one of the pre-eminent eugenicists in the US in the early twentieth century. Her contraception efforts were purposefully targeted at the poverty infested urban slums, where the "inferior" populations of masses lived.

Eugenics is often linked to "right wing" ideology by historians and sociologists, but Sanger should be considered as a woman of the left, an early feminist seeking to "liberate" women from the burden of raising "too many "children.

I have seen this many times. Mike Wallace did a great job on the interview. Notice the difference in sensibilities the past sixty years have wrought. Despite Mike’s lefty persona, he was old school with regards to journalism.

What was that line attributed to Hannah Arendt about the “banality of evil?’
Margaret Sanger was a perfect example of that description. What a creep.

A supporter of the KKK (and Hitler, although they deny that.)

“520 of every 1000 black babies is aborted in this country”

Do you perchance have a link for this? I’m doing battle with a rabid leftist this Sunday.

I got it from LIBERAL FASCISM. Great book and he’s got about 10-20 pages on the eugenics connection. Only have it in Kindle. Sorry I can’t dig up the sources.

I did see a story last year that but for abortion we’d have 25%+ black population in the U.S.
