Wow, you must be the 100th person to post the history of Margaret Sanger in this thread. Did you honestly think you were contributing anything new to the thread there with that information? No one cares about the sins of the parents. We only care about what the people running it now believe. That's like saying that all people with racist parents or grandparents are also racist. It's idiotic.
Every mother and mother-to-be should protect the fundamental rights of her babies and in fact of all babies.
Baby's rights' have been well formulated by my friend Marie Carmichael Stopes: They are:
"To be wanted.
"To be loved before birth as well as after birth.
"To be given a body untainted by a heritable disease, uncontaminated by any of the racial poisons.
"To be fed on the food that nature supplies, or, if that fails, the very nearest substitute that can be discovered.
"To have fresh air to breathe; to play in the sunshine with his limbs free in the air; to crawl about on sweet clean grass.
"When he is good to do what a baby wants to do and not what his parents want; for instance, to sleep most of his time, not to sit up and crow in response to having his cheeks pinched or his sides tickled.
"When he is naughty, to do what his parents want and not what he wants; to be made to understand the law of the jungle.' From his earliest days he must be disciplined in relation to the great physical facts of existence, to which he will always hereafter have to bow. The sooner he comprehends this, the better for his future."
Our girls must be brought up to realize that Motherhood is the most sacred profession in the world, and that it is a profession that requires more preparation than any other open to women. This preparation must be begun in infancy; but unlike much of the dull routine of what passes for preliminary education' to-day, the prerequisites' for motherhood should be made, and luckily for us, are being made more and more interesting for girls and young women. The first requisite is, of course, sound healthy bodies -- and incidentally sound healthy minds -- built up by play and sport and work of the right kind.

This argument only works if you are a lib. Otherwise, it's perfectly fine to lay blame on the parents. After all, how long did we hear "It's all Bush's fault!!!"
Conservatives only cared about who was running it now, but that didn't matter to you guys, did it.
I love how you lefties want people to do as you say and not as you do.
What a disgusting and racist thing to say. Retract that filthy statement immediately.
In the 1920s various theories of eugenics were popular among intellectuals in the United States. For example, 75% of colleges offered courses on eugenics. Sanger, in her campaign to promote birth control, teamed with eugenics organizations such as the American Eugenics Society, although she argued against many of their positions.
Scholars describe Sanger as believing that birth control, sterilization and abortion should be voluntary and not based on race. She advocated for "voluntary motherhood"—the right to choose when to be pregnant—for all women, as an important element of women's rights.

They did not denounce these activities, which leads me to believe they fully support them.

Sounds like a cover for a eugenicist to me.
