Do you think that Planned Parenthood's history of eugenics persists today in some form?

Question

Obviously not all elements of the organization subscribe to it, but I'm curious if anyone thinks that members of it's hierarchy secretly still yearns for "the self-direction of human evolution".

"Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the ***** Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?"

History Writer "Could you provide so scientific data behind your allegations. What you just said is slander and is actionable and they can find you!"

You're not serious are you?

While Planned Parenthood adamantly insists otherwise, it is clear that Sanger (1879-1966) was a eugenicist. She believed that birth control served a great eugenic purpose by stopping those she described as the genetically "unfit" from reproducing.

In her 1920 book, Woman and the New Race, Sanger explicitly called her work "nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or those who will become defectives." As she wrote in The Birth Control Review, "the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the overfertility of the mentally and physically defective."

Of course this isn't the mission of PP today - at least no publicly. But you have to wonder why they are so interested in free abortions for low income.

Answer 1

Abortion gets rid of the people considered 'unwanted' or 'imperfect'. Yes, I'd call that eugenics.

Only when everyone has an equal chance of life will the self-direction of human evolution be stopped.

Answer 2

understand what's humorous. it relatively is relatively what the entire lot of the united stateshas been after with the aid of fact it strengthen into conceived. We purely stopped forcibly sterilizing people without their know-how extremely at the instant. someplace in the 1980's it became unlawful in all states. what's much extra humorous is that anybody with any understand-how of abortion might understand why criminal abortion the place the pregnant guy or woman decides to get the abortion without tension or bribe won't be able to be eugenics. beginning with the reality that maximum folk in seek of abortion already have a newborn or babies. So please, circulate on approximately some great secret. maximum folk already understand that Margaret Sanger strengthen into one for eugenics. As have been just about all of people, extremely white people, at that factor.

Answer 3

Could you provide so scientific data behind your allegations. What you just said is slander and is actionable and they can find you!

Answer 4

They have the same goal, just with a different approach. Less babies. Instead of forcing childlessness down womens throats, they make women want to have few or no babies. I dont think Eugenics has ever been about the improvement of the American "race", I think the reduction of the baby output was the only goal. It all backfired big time when Hitler picked up the concept though.

Answer 5

All eugenics in western society hail from the Vatican and other related religious / political forces. Rulers traditionally have enlisted religions in the animal husbandry and breeding management of their "human stock" and herd size. It is no coincidence that the Vatican has included in its scope of practice the non-religious matters of reproduction, such as marriage for breed line documentation, birth control, proper sexual positions, abortion and anti-gay marriage. For example, just a few years ago the Pope threatened to excommunicate older single men in Italy or France, I can't remember which, if they did not marry and breed. Planned Parenthood does not practice eugenics. Planned Parenthood FREES people from the vile eugenics of the Vatican and rulers and men who presume women are their breed livestock and property. By placing reproductive decisions in the hands of the INDIVIDUAL, you reduce the threat and influence of eugenics. This is how Sarah Weddington successfully argued Roe vs Wade (re: Privacy), that, right or wrong, the DECISION of abortion MUST be in the "private" domain of the individual, or we risk eugenics. Any attempt to reverse Roe vs Wade is an attempt to support eugenics, to place reproductive decisions back in the hands of entities.

Answer 6

No, not at all. They are in no conspiracy or secret agenda. They provide birth control and pregnancy prevention education and information about preventing STIs/STDs along with abortions for those who want them. Their history has nothing to do with their present mission statements.

Answer 7

Not at all. You have to crawl on your hands and knees and beg to get a tubal ligation these days.

Answer 8

wow, what a stretch. at what time did planned parent hood espouse such a philosophy?

Answer 9

I wouldn't call the views of one of its founders a "history of eugenics" for the entire organization.

Dr. James Watson recently said some rather unpleasant things about race, so in your opinion, does that make his co-discovery of the double helix a "racist principle"?

Answer 10

No, I don't think so. All they care about now is providing abortions to the women who want them.
