Yes, please! Progressive societal engineers have a long history of knowing what is best for the poor feeble minded masses and then forcing them, like livestock, into pens where they can be managed or destroyed...whichever is easiest and most convenient. Sanger has been made a hero by people like Hillary Clinton, who herself is a dangerous defective minded cow who should have long ago gotten the pneumatic bolt stunner right between her eyes.Do you want to start a thread about Sanger wanting to destroy the population of Switzerland?
I think like most people Sanger, Lincoln, FDR it's complicated. What is their legacy? Usually comes down to what was their greater impact. For Sanger it was easier access to birth control for women, for FDR it was...well, not being Hoover, The New Deal and WWII, Lincoln, the civil war and many who consider him to be the greatest president we've had, certainly the best Republican. However none of these people were perfect, far from it.
SO, when someone praises FDR they aren't endorsing Japanese internment camps. Or Lincoln, when they speak highly of the emancipation proclamation or his Gettysburg address doesn't mean they support his actions on Native American genocide. Same with Sanger, nobody is celebrating the lady's crazy views on eugenics.
You need to look at the time in which she lived. Racism was rampant, women had no rights, eugenics was a new concept being discussed, birth control was not talked about
