White Babies Only..margaret Sanger Felt the Same Way
Posted: 06-14-05 16:57pm

Margaret sanger was the founder of the international planned parenthood federation. Here are some of her quotes.


"we should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro population. And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

--margaret sanger's december 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence gamble, 255 adams street, milton, massachusetts. Original source: sophia smith collection, smith college, north hampton, massachusetts. Also described in linda gordon's woman's body, woman's right: a social history of birth control in america. New york: grossman publishers, 1976.


"eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
--margaret sanger, april 1933 birth control review.

"our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... Demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."
--margaret sanger. The pivot of civilization, 1922. Chapter on "the cruelty of charity," pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore college library edition.

"eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.
Margaret sanger. "the eugenic value of birth control propaganda." birth control review, october 1921, page 5.

"give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."
margaret sanger, april 1932 birth control review.

"as we celebrate the 100th birthday of margaret sanger, our outrageous and our courageous leader, we will probably find a number of areas in which we may find more about margaret sanger than we thought we wanted to know..."
faye wattleton, past-president of planned parenthood


margaret sanger, founder of planned parenthood, proposed the american baby code that states, "no woman shall have the legal right to bear a child… without a permit for parenthood".

Margaret sanger, founder of planned parenthood, proposed the population congress with the aim, "...To give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization."

no, she was a woman fighting for women's rights in the early 20th century. Some of her ideas have been twisted by the right to show her as an evil do-er, but she was doing what she thought would help women/families at that time in history.


these are words straight out of her mouth. She said them. People didn't say them for her. Get it, these are h. E. R. Words. Not the pl's. Sorry that you can't accept the fact that your precious planned parenthood is founded by a sicko that had the ultimate goal of weeding out the "unfit" (her words) race. But it's true.

Sometimes the truth isn't as we would like it to be...But it doesn't make it any less the truth.

i'm sure that pro-choice will go to great lengths to prove what a noble and wonderful person she was.....She was nothing but a racist fool. And these are still her quotes.

and how many people back then weren't racist? Crips, my great grandmother was racist. That is the era they lived in. Margaret sanger was human... She had faults, just like anyone. You demonize her faults and don't even look at her positives. She did quite a bit for women's reproductive rights in the early 1900's.


again...She was a racist fool.

Anyone that could think the way that she thought...Is an fool. There is no arguing it...She was a heartless, vile, disgusting, racist fool. I don't know how in the world anyone could defend the things that she has said. Reproductive rights is simply a political frame hiding the truth of what *right* you really have and that's the *right to kill*

except most people back then were racist. That was the way society was back then.

And I don't agee with everything she said, nor do I agree with everything the aclu or pp does.


just as I don't agree with people such as "the army of god".

the simple fact is that she supported "reproductive rights" in an effort to weed out the "unfit race" of people. Rich, white girls were not her target audience.

reproductive rights had to start somewhere. I'm sure you aren't demonizing the founding father's considering they were also a bunch of "racist idiots".



wow...So young...So angry....So wrong. :?
