Entry: Margaret Sanger and the Eugenics Meme Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/margaret_sanger_and_the_eugenics_meme#24539 Post contents: Sanger was a eugenicist, but so was everybody else. She was against abortion, and the main motivation for her contraceptive zeal was not eugenics, but sexual liberation. These are useful clarifications. Needless to say the provoke the usual tiresome "Paleos are n*ggerloving tools of the J*ws" spam. Maybe much abortionism has a racial agenda, one some of our commenters may share. You could certainly cite the Rockafeller study and so on. But if even Sanger can be quoted pro life, this something to be noted and made use of. Now the Catholic position seems to be that sexual liberation is inherently antilife, and maybe Sanger was wrong not to go the whole hog, but we don't need to misrepresnt what she thought, as even I might have done.
