there is nothing in the writings of Margaret Sanger that is remotely racist. Suggesting that women who carry inherited disorders have the right to decide whether or not they wish bring forth a sick and suffering child is not racist. In fact it is barrier breaking. There is no question that there were EUGENICS
movements in the USA with adherents who
advocated FORCED abortion-----Unless you can come up with that Margaret Sanger said ---"Lets force black women to abort"-----you have committed libel
Margaret Sanger Founder of Planned Parenthood In Her Own Words
Have you even read what she wrote or watched interviews she gave? She even attended KKK rallies and provided the photo's herself before realizing they were poor and uneducated so that they were added to her list of undesirables.
I have read it------her words are presented ---then INTERPRETED in your citation. They are INTERPRETED in accordance with your agenda to make the issue seem
"RACIST" --------my grandmother was born
in 1899 in a LARGE FAMILY-------she married at age 18------had two children by the time she was 21-----and-----lots of pregnancies thereafter. all ended in a back alley. WHY? because she was a
racist? Her skin was white as snow. Her father died of starvation in New York City. Both she and Sanger saw a HUGE PROBLEM and did what they could in THEIR TIME with the tools available to avoid a continuing tragedy--- Your citation
struggles to make birth control and abortion
NAZISM -------it isn't
How interpreted... those are her exact words written in her own hand. My grandmother had 15 children and raised all 15 pretty much by herself... they all turned out well. She was dirt poor but she made the effort and she knew all about birth control because she began having babies in the 1940's. She wasn't religious and was pretty much a Liberal in her time. But she didn't have to go to a back alley because she accepted what was happening.
Where you would be correct is to address "why" they were going to the back alleys.
You want to blame religion... do so because religion was the cause. If you became pregnant out of wedlock, they made your life not worth living and if you gave birth, it was a bastard child who would also be put through hell.
But the reason they had abortions was because the religious authorities made their lives hell and their only option to escape this hell was to have an abortion to conceal the pregnancy.
Margaret Sanger TO HER CREDIT supported birth control... but she also supported free love which put women in these situations because few women could go to a local pharmacy to get birth control even if it existed... but they could still have free love and risk pregnancy. So while she did support birth control, she sent strong mixed messages she knew most women wouldn't be able to take advantage of and she classified them as dimwitted idiots.
