Eugenics Still Drives the Abortion Industry

Eugenics Still Drives the Abortion Industry

NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams produced an incredible and moving news feature, “State of Shame”, on the horrific and racist eugenics practice of forced sterilizations. The story centered on a central figure in the MAAFA21 documentary, Elaine Rid****, a black woman who was forcibly sterilized after being raped at age 13.

I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Elaine and serving on a panel about abortion and eugenics targeting the black community, which is the heart of our TooManyAborted.com campaigns. She’s a remarkable and passionate individual, stripped of part of her humanity by a racist ideology that continues today through its main perpetrator –Planned Parenthood.

Brian Williams begins the disturbing segment declaring: “Most Americans would agree that government has a lot to learn from that physicians’ [Hippocratic] oath to ‘do no harm’. It’s tougher to explain this…doctors and government officials conspiring on a project so horrible, it is hard to believe it happened in our country and not that long ago. We have a story here, tonight, about cruelty in the name of science and about the government, in effect, trying to play God.”

I applaud NBC’s Brian Williams and producer Ami Schmitz for telling Elaine’s story. She’s one of over 66,000 people forced to lose their God-given procreative ability to bring forth new life, simply because eugenicists determined these individuals were “unfit”.

But, Mr. Williams…the horror continues today under the guise of “choice”.

How could a journalistic media powerhouse miss the obvious? One can’t possibly speak of Eugenics without attributing its tragic successes to our nation’s most prolific champion for it—Margaret Sanger, member of the American Eugenics Society (AES) and founder of Planned Parenthood. Most Planned Parenthood affiliates, staffed with AES members, clearly reflected their true objectives such as the Arkansas Eugenics Association (which became the Planned Parenthood Association in 1942).

In state after state and city after city, Planned Parenthood affiliates pushed for the heinous crime of forced sterilizations as well as racially targeted birth control efforts such as the Negro Project. Today’s mainstream media (spun by Planned Parenthood’s multi-million dollar PR machine) refuse to acknowledge the irrefutably historical involvement Planned Parenthood played in eugenic crimes against humanity.

The Mother of Planned Parenthood and the birth control movement, Sanger, was one of many wealthy “progressives” who embraced the long-debunked racist pseudoscience. They often exploited the mythology of overpopulation to justify implementing anti-human eugenic practices.  Alan Guttmacher (Vice President of the American Eugenics Society, founder of the Guttmacher Institute, and President of Planned Parenthood from 1962-1974) was another key figure involved in pushing for the sterilization of those considered “unfit” or “dysgenic”. Claiming support for forced sterilization, then after World War II, publicly advocating “voluntary” sterilization, Guttmacher and Planned Parenthood engaged in epic campaigns of unscientific propaganda that remain the hallmark of each organization’s efforts today.  (We expose them in a 3-part video series here, claiming that we’ve been Guttmacher’d all these years.)

For those who’d like to pretend that eugenics is something of the past, The American Eugenics Society still exists today. It merely changed its name to The Society for the Study of Social Biology. Effective euphemisms are evil’s strength.  Frederick Osborn, President of the American Eugenics Society and close colleague of Alan Guttmacher, described their intensified focus on population control: “Birth control and abortion are turning out to be great eugenic advances of our time.”

NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams missed a huge opportunity to expose the continued growth of the eugenics movement, led by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Guttmacher Institute. They can use all of the euphemistic buzzwords they want to in their attempts to hide the historic nature and direction of their roots. But truth has a way of making it to the surface.

North Carolina’s current pro-abortion Governor, Bev Purdue (D), has been deliberately stalling on compensation for those forcibly sterilized. Purdue, who has fought against every effort to defund Planned Parenthood, perhaps could use that ill-spent taxpayer money to begin to apologize for yet another act of injustice committed by population control practitioners.

What eugenicists couldn’t achieve, morally, through public opinion and forced sterilizations, they’ve achieved, politically, through decades of propaganda and the massive taxpayer funding of the nation’s largest abortion and population control chain.

Eugenics, thy name is Planned Parenthood.

Pro-life group calls on Planned Parenthood to end ‘glorification’ of eugenicist founder Sanger

One of the United States’ leading pro-life organizations, the Susan B. Anthony List (SBA), is calling on Planned Parenthood to repudiate their founder by cancelling its annual “Margaret Sanger Award.”

The organization has been issuing the award since 1966. Past recipients have included Martin Luther King, Jr., President Lyndon Johnson, John D. Rockefeller III, Katharine Hepburn, Ann Landers, Jane Fonda, Ted Turner, and Hillary Clinton.

The SBA announced this week that it had sent a letter to Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards challenging her to “officially bring to an end any further glorification of Margaret Sanger.”

Sanger’s background as a prominent member of the eugenics movement has been in the national spotlight since presidential contender Herman Cain charged that her population control efforts deliberately targeted the black community. Cain unleashed a firestorm of controversy by referring to the national abortion giant as “Planned Genocide.”

Veronica Byrd, director of African American media at Planned Parenthood, denounced Cain’s comments in a statement, saying: “For all her positive work, Margaret Sanger made statements some 80 years ago that were wrong then and are wrong now. Those statements have no bearing on the high quality health care Planned Parenthood provides today.”
In its letter to Richards, the SBA said that Bryd’s comments were “hardly consistent with the praise and veneration Planned Parenthood has afforded this well-known eugenicist.”

“Each year Planned Parenthood Federation of America awards its “highest honor,” the Margaret Sanger award, as recognition of “leadership, excellence, and outstanding contributions to the reproductive health and rights movement,” the letter read.

“Planned Parenthood’s annual tribute to Sanger, despite her appalling and deplorable statements, as well as your organization’s mission of population control, as explained in your Mission Statement found on IRS tax returns, can only lead one to logically conclude that Planned Parenthood was in fact founded and designed in part for the purpose of preventing specifically targeted groups of people from having children.”

The letter challenged Richards to not only cancel or rename the award but to also remove all “affirmative mention” of Sanger from Planned Parenthood’s website and publications.

Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger: Agents of Death

According to its website, “for more than 90 years, Planned Parenthood has promoted a commonsense approach to women’s health and well-being, based on respect for each individual’s right to make informed, independent decisions about health, sex, and family planning.”

There is in this glowing self-endorsement a subtle tribute to Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger. An unabashed eugenicist, Ms. Sanger’s “commonsense” approach to unwanted pregnancies and undesirable demographic groups, such as minorities and the handicapped, was clear and unambiguous. She maintained that “the most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it,” and that “birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”

Sanger would, no doubt, be proud of the legacy begotten by her monstrous ideology. Planned Parenthood is by far the largest abortion provider in the United States. In 2009, surgical abortions accounted for 97.6% of their services to pregnant women. In other words, “Planned Parenthood” has become a euphemism for “the abortion business yields big bucks.” It might tout itself as a “commonsense” organization that provides a wide array of family planning services, but the truth is in the statistics.

There is one major difference between the Planned Parenthood of today and that of Margaret Sanger’s time: Margaret Sanger was brutally honest about her disregard for the unborn, while contemporary abortion advocates hide behind the language of “choice” in order to disguise the ugly reality of what they advocate. Unfortunately, this campaign of misdirection has been wildly successful. Many women instinctively rally behind a woman’s “right to choose,” without giving much thought to the reality behind the choice at issue. In the abortion debate, we aren’t talking about choosing between chocolate or vanilla, fried or scrambled, with fries or without. We are talking about choosing whether a baby will live or die, whether we will kill it or give it life, whether we will destroy or protect an innocent child.

So powerful has our delusion about the reality of abortion become – and so powerful the pro-abortion lobby behind Planned Parenthood – that our elected representatives allocate hundreds of millions of dollars each year to Planned Parenthood. This funding has withstood year after year of budget debates and political controversy. Make no mistake about it, however, that money is blood money. Planned Parenthood preys on the fear and ignorance of women faced with unplanned pregnancies as a means of advancing their twisted worldview. Instead of celebrating life as a blessing, even when unplanned, Planned Parenthood’s operatives peddle the myth that pregnancy and parenthood is some kind misogynistic social construct used to keep women dependent and servile. They tell women that the right to choose abortion is a right intricately tied to their female identity, rather than a betrayal of a sacred duty bestowed by the author of the universe. They tell women that choosing abortion is an empowering decision, not one that can impact future fertility and inflict emotional and psychological scars that last a lifetime.

Advocates of life must not give up in their quest to shed light on the true nature of Planned Parenthood’s work and the repugnant ideology that inspired its founding. They must continue working to support organizations that offer women true choice: the choice to view their unborn child as a blessing, and the vocation of parenthood as the greatest calling a human being can answer. The time is long overdue for Planned Parenthood to be denounced as an agent of death and despair and its abortion activities declared illegal.
