Entry: Margaret Sanger and the Eugenics Meme Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/margaret_sanger_and_the_eugenics_meme#24579 Post contents: Scott Richert whined "[Planned Parenthood] has never publicly repudiated her eugenicist views" Hmm, that's odd. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are/margaret-sanger-14115.htm "[Sanger] agreed with the "progressives" of her day who favored * incentives for the voluntary hospitalization and/or sterilization of people with untreatable, disabling, hereditary conditions * the adoption and enforcement of stringent regulations to prevent the immigration of the diseased and "feebleminded" into the U.S. * placing so-called illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, and dope-fiends on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct Planned Parenthood Federation of America finds [Sanger's popositions] objectionable and outmoded."
