Black Journalist Lucky Rosenbloom Speculates on Content of Margaret Sanger KKK Speech #blackhistorymonth

 “What do you suppose Margaret Sanger was talking about that made her so appealing to the KKK? I believe she was talking about killing 14 million Black babies. I suppose she was telling them of a way to kill four thousand “Ns” in four weeks using eugenics and abortions outdoing the number of “Ns” they lynched in 86 years…Planned KillerHood was targeted by Civil Rights Movement activists in the 1960s and ‘70s for its involvement in a ”Black genocide.” Since 1973, legalized abortion has been specifically aimed at the African American population and has killed more Black people than cancer, diabetes, heart disease and gang violence combined…This is a sad day for Black America. We are killing ourselves using the most racist, legalized tools today: abortions.” ~ Black Journalist Lucky Rosenbloom

BlackGenocide.org Discusses Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood

From BlackGenocide.org :

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 Negro 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?

Some Great Margaret Sanger Quotes from Simply Heavenly Food

Get to know Margaret Sanger a little better.

Here are some great quotes courtesy of the Simply Heavenly Food blog:

Here are some quotes from Margaret Sanger and I will let you be the judge:

Jamie Stiehm Makes Former Ku Klux Klan Speaker Margaret Sanger Proud

It is over, fans.  It is over.  The contest for the most bigoted, anti-Catholic column of 2014 has already been won.

And the winner is....Jamie Stiehm ( @gypsyinme on Twitter) .  The bigots who printed her drivel work at US News & World Report.  Don' be surprised if Jamie Stiehm follows in the footsteps of her idol Margaret Sanger and soon starts giving anti-Catholic rants at KKK rallies. 

The column in question:  The Catholic Supreme Court’s War on Women .  Below, a few excerpts:

*****

Et tu, Justice Sonia Sotomayor? Really, we can't trust you on women's health and human rights? The lady from the Bronx just dropped the ball on American women and girls as surely as she did the sparkling ball at midnight on New Year's Eve in Times Square. Or maybe she's just a good Catholic girl.

 The Supreme Court is now best understood as the Extreme Court. One big reason why is that six out of nine Justices are Catholic. Let's be forthright about that. (The other three are Jewish.) Sotomayor, appointed by President Obama, is a Catholic who put her religion ahead of her jurisprudence. What a surprise, but that is no small thing.

 In a stay order applying to an appeal by a Colorado nunnery, the Little Sisters of the Poor, Justice Sotomayor undermined the new Affordable Care Act's sensible policy on contraception. She blocked the most simple of rules – lenient rules – that required the Little Sisters to affirm their religious beliefs against making contraception available to its members. They objected to filling out a one-page form. What could be easier than nuns claiming they don't believe in contraception?

 Sotomayor's blow brings us to confront an uncomfortable reality. More than WASPS, Methodists, Jews, Quakers or Baptists, Catholics often try to impose their beliefs on you, me, public discourse and institutions. Especially if "you" are female...

****

The seemingly innocent Little Sisters likely were likely not acting alone in their trouble-making. Their big brothers, the meddlesome American Roman Catholic Archbishops are bound to be involved. They seek and wield tremendous power and influence in the political sphere. Big city mayors know their penchant for control all too well. Their principal target for years on end has been squelching women and girls – even when they should have focused on their own men and boys.

 In one stroke with ominous implications, there's no such thing as Catholic justice or mercy for women on the Supreme Court, not even from a woman. The rock of Rome refuses to budge on women's reproductive rights and the Supreme Court is getting good and ready to strike down Roe v. Wade, which became the law of the land 40 years ago. President Clinton had it exactly right in his formulation: abortion should be safe, legal and rare....

******

The whole thing is a crazy, ugly mess written by an abhorrent ignoramus.  You can read the entire thing over at Freerepublic:  The Catholic Supreme Court’s War on Women.  And know that somewhere in Hell, Margaret Sanger is smiling.


 

The Prophetic KKK Speaker: Margaret Sanger

A tremendous article recently by Dr. Paul Kengor outlines the prophetic, demented, racist dream of former Ku Klux Klan Speaker and Foundress of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger.

This one is a must read folks.  Go to Catholic Exchange for the complete article, The Prophetic Margaret Sanger, but below are a few excerpts: 

President Obama has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to feminist icon Gloria Steinem. Steinem, in turn, said she hopes Obama’s action “honor[s] the work of Margaret Sanger,” liberalism’s iconic racial eugenicist.

It indeed has.

***

But there was more to Margaret Sanger’s vision. She wanted to advance what she called “race improvement.” She lamented America’s “race of degenerates.” This meant purging the landscape of its “human weeds.” This included a “Negro Project” especially close to Sanger’s heart.

Not surprisingly, among those most impressed with Sanger’s work was the KKK. The Klan invited the progressive heroine to one of their celebrations. She accepted. Margaret Sanger addressed her hooded brethren at a KKK rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey in 1926.

Today, Sanger’s Planned Parenthood is America’s most prolific killer of black Americans.
And now, in 2013, America’s first black president honors Gloria Steinem with an award that Steinem says honors Margaret Sanger.

The Devil works in mysterious ways.

Update on the Strange and Politically Motivated Editing at Margaret Sanger Wikipedia

Yesterday, we highlighted the following criticism of the Margaret Sanger Wikipedia page:

Hell, this whole article is a glowing review of Margaret:

Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion frequently condemn Sanger by questioning her fitness as a mother and criticizing her views on race, abortion, and eugenics.[61][62][note 8] In spite of such attacks, Sanger continues to be regarded as an icon for the American reproductive rights movement and woman's rights movement.

in other words, many who dislike her say this, but these attacks haven't diminished her as a saint. Yes, let's reduce any controversies surrounding her to a blurb. A blurb that claims people only bring these claims up because they are opposed to abortion. Not because, you know, they're opposed to racism and eugenics. I'm just surprised at the wording and the way this entire article dismisses any valid critiques of her as coming from people that dislike abortion and women.

********************************

Check out what happened today when someone tried to make a very common sense edit:

One-word neutral term 'critics' quickly rejected[edit]

I just tried to change "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion" to "Critics" (giving the reason --- "Removed implication of motive and substituted a more neutral term"), and within minutes it was changed back. The reason given was "In this case it is relevant to tell who are her critics."
All her critics, or just many of them? Come on now. By attributing criticisms of her eugenics and alleged racism to "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion" you're ignoring other possible reasons for the criticism unrelated to abortion. The implication is that these criticisms are trumped up charges, and need not be considered on their own merits.
I believe simply using the word 'critics' is the best and most objective description, but if others insist on emphasizing something that people already know, or would assume to be the case (that many opponents of the legalization of abortion criticize Sanger in various ways), I suggest saying, "Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion, as well as others,..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.34.67.80 (talk) 04:41, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

********************

We  have noted before our own problems with the Margaret Sanger Wiki page:


The Wikipedia entry on Margaret Sanger crack us up.  It states, in pertinent part, the following:

In 1926, Sanger gave a lecture on birth control to the women's auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey.^[37] ... Sanger's talk was well received by the group, and as a result, "a dozen invitations to similar groups were proffered."^[37]

The first noteworthy thing is that nowhere in the Margaret Sanger autobiography does Sanger state that she spoke to the Ku Klux Klan about "birth control."  The "birth control" line has just been thrown in to her Wikipedia entry by Planned Parenthood types to try and soften the blow for those reading for the first time about Margaret Sanger and the Ku Klux Klan.  

Imagine the surprise the typical Feminist Studies major experiences when she first stumbles across the uncomfortable fact that her hero was invited to speak to various hate groups 13 different times.  Woops, Professor Feminazi never mentioned that one in class.  Let's just label these invites "birth control lectures," right?
***************************

The truth is important and we can not let Klanned Parenthood propagandists make up their own history.  If you want accurate info, check out the following:

Do Propagandists from Klanned Parenthood Control Margaret Sanger Wikipedia Page?

The discussion board over at 4chan.org seems to be on to something:

Holy sh** have you people read the Margaret Sanger wikipedia article? It's like Planned Parenthood themselves wrote it.

It makes light of her racism and eugenics beliefs, and even says under 'Legacy':

>''Many who are opposed to the legalization of abortion frequently condemn Sanger by questioning her fitness as a mother and criticizing her views on race, abortion, and eugenics.[61][62][note 8] In spite of such attacks, Sanger continues to be regarded as an icon for the American reproductive rights movement and woman's rights movement.''

Yes, because if you bring up her racism and eugenics it's only because you're opposed to abortion. F***ing what? The wording is completely off.

It's a glowing review of the person who talked with the women's chapter of the KKK and said blacks were like 'human weeds to be exterminated''

Mind you I don't CARE about her racism but it pisses me off that this progressive icon can be everything progressives stand against and yet NONE OF THAT IS MENTIONED.

the racism section makes it seem like she was just a ''victim'' of racist attitudes of the era.

Yeah, like Hitler. He was a victim too.

Also, in the talk page there's this long comment string with people trying to put in a quote but (what I assume to be the person in charge of the article or something) saying you can't put the quote in because it isn't relevant.

he asks for sources, they give it to him. He asks for independent sources. They give it to him. They restate the guidelines to him. Yet he's still an ass denying the quote from being put in.

 

***********************************************

 

So we went over to the Wikipedia discussion page for Sanger,  and sure enough there are numerous documented cases of censorship where relevant, racist quotes from Margaret Sanger have been edited out of her Wikipedia page.   Much of the important relevant information concerning Sanger's Hitler-like views on eugenics has also been excluded.ight.

 

We would love to see some knowledgeable pro-lifers help set the record straight.

 

 

 

Margaret Sanger Returns From Dead For One More Ku Klux Klan Rally

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Eighty years after Margaret Sanger's Historic speech to the Ku Klux Klan, the following situation exists:

*A black baby is three times more likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby.

*Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.

*Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.

*Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.

*Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.

*About 13 percent of American women are black, but they submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.

What did Margaret Sanger to the Ku Klux Klan that lead her to be invited back 12 times?  If she returned today, she would surely say, "Misson accomplished!"

"OK, Set the Crosses on Fire It's Time for the Birth Control Lecture" or Margaret Sanger and the KKK

The Wikipedia entry on Margaret Sanger crack us up.  It states, in pertinent part, the following:

In 1926, Sanger gave a lecture on birth control to the women's auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey.^[37] ... Sanger's talk was well received by the group, and as a result, "a dozen invitations to similar groups were proffered."^[37]

The first noteworthy thing is that nowhere in the Margaret Sanger autobiography does Sanger state that she spoke to the Ku Klux Klan about "birth control."  The "birth control" line has just been thrown in to her Wikipedia entry by Planned Parenthood types to try and soften the blow for those reading for the first time about Margaret Sanger and the Ku Klux Klan. 

Imagine the surprise the typical Feminist Studies major experiences when she first stumbles across the uncomfortable fact that her hero was invited to speak to various hate groups 13 different times.  Woops, Professor Feminazi never mentioned that one in class.  Let's just label these invites "birth control lectures," right?

Here is Sanger's account of her trip to talk to the Ku Klux Klan from pages 366-367 of Margaret Sanger An Autobiograph.  You will see no mention of a birth control lecture but you will note that there were burning crosses:




 Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.

    *** 


After three hours I was summoned at last and entered a bright corridor filled with wraps. As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak


.    ***


In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York.


  ____________________________________________________________




 Several questions quickly come to mind from this brief account.

1)  If it was a "birth control lecture" as claimed by the Planned Parenthood flunkies editing her Wikipedia page, why were the burning crosses and banners necessary?  Sounds more like a typical hate filled KKK rally.


 2) We note that following the cross burning KKK rally, Sanger received "a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups."  What did Margaret Sanger say to this hate group that lead to so many subsequent invites?


 3) Why have historians by and large simply ignored this event?


 4)  Would it not be fascinating to see a re-enactment of this event?


5) As we have noted before, if Margaret Sanger was a conservative pro-lifer, her name would never appear in print without the label "frequent Ku Klux Klan Speaker."  Why have pro-lifers so far failed to successfully tie Margaret Sanger to the Ku Klux Klan?  Afterall, as Martin Luther King's own niece has noted: “The most obvious practitioner of racism in the United States today is Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by the eugenicist Margaret Sanger and recently documented as ready to accept money to eliminate black babies” - Dr. Alveda King.




We renew our call for pro-life bloggers, movie makers and artists to find unique and innovative ways to educate the public about the hate-filled past that gave birth to the evil empire that is Planned Parenthood.     

 

Yep, Margaret Sanger Said It: "We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population"

We've been getting a lot of traffic today from readers seeking to confirm Margaret Sanger quotes from Matthew Archbold and his extremely accurate and helpful article Margaret Sanger Would Not Roll Over in Her Grave to Hear This.  It was later reposted at LifeNews.com as:  Margaret Sanger: “We Want to Exterminate the Negro Population.” Her Wish is Coming True.

The quotes are indeed accurate as are the statistics.  But the money quote comes from Matthew Archbold himself at the end of his powerful article:

So we have the founder of the organization saying that’s what she wanted to do and then when the organization does that, we’re all supposed to believe it’s just coincidence? Isn’t it weird that people point to the majority of prisoners being black and Hispanic as proof of racism but the fact that black babies are far more likely to be killed in the womb is just coincidence?

We don't really know exactly what went down when Margaret Sanger spoke at Ku Klux Klan rallies but we do know from reading Margaret Sanger's autobiography that she was invited at least 13 times to speak to the Ku Klux Klan.  Ask yourself, what could Margaret Sanger have been saying to the KKK that led this hate group to keep inviting her back?  Inviting her back 13 time to spew her hate.

After reading Margaret Sanger Would Not Roll Over in Her Grave to Hear This, one can imagine Margaret Sanger telling the haters something like this:

"Fellow racists, put away those crazy robes.  The cross-burnings are not working.  I got a better way.  I am going to use the Democratic Party to get hundreds of millions of tax dollars to start killing black babies and other undesirables in the womb.  I know it sounds crazy, but trust me.  It is going to happen!" 

Sure Archbold is basically just  outlining The Silver Lake Conspiracy which was first postulated a little over six years ago.  But it needs to be repeated frequently.  If Margaret Sanger was a conservative pro-lifer, her name would never appear in print without the label "frequent Ku Klux Klan Speaker."  (You may want to add that to your Style Guide, pro-life bloggers).  Thankfully, more and more experts are now coming to the same conclusions drawn by The Silver Lake Conspiracy and when someone has the guts to put together all the links and come out with a major blockbuster documentary, the world will never see Planned Parenthood the same way.

As Martin Luther King's own niece has noted: “The most obvious practitioner of racism in the United States today is Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by the eugenicist Margaret Sanger and recently documented as ready to accept money to eliminate black babies” - Dr. Alveda King.




    

Richard Clark Jr. producing new Pro-Life Movie: Discover Zac Ryan

We have been saying for some time here that there needs to be a sustained effort to change our culture through prolife films, books, music and other artistic efforts. 

I am glad to see this guy, Richard Clark Jr., has the same idea:


Introducing Producer Richard Clark Jr. 

 

 

Hello! My name is Richard Clark, Jr., and I am a Producer on Discover Zac Ryan. This is my fist message to you. Thank you in advance for giving me a few seconds of your time.

 

Our passion is not focused on changing the laws when it comes to abortion. Changing the laws is important, but at the end of the day people will still do what they feel they need to do; they will just do it illegally.  Simply put, our passion is focused on changing HEARTS when it comes to abortion. Laws can provide temporary roadblocks, but when we are facing the greatest moral failure of our existence we need much more than roadblocks- we need paradigm shifts. This is why I joined the Discover Matt Ryan team.What Corey has pitched to us is much more than a film; it’s a vehicle that will allow us to reach hearts. It is a game changer. I will not hide the reason I am emailing you today. I am writing to ask for you to join our team by making a donation to our film.  You can do so by clicking this link OR by emailing Corey to let him know you are sending a check. Give Here

 

Corey is not standing on the sidelines with his project. He is on the front line of this war and please do not mistake; this is in fact a war. Maybe the greatest we have ever witnessed. Take out political jargon, right v left, etc… Say to yourself, “Since Roe v Wade there have been more than55 MILLION babies KILLED.” That is 55,000,000 lives. Hearing these words made me join the battle. They made me join the Discover Zac Ryan team. What will they do for you? The sidelines are a very nice and peaceful place to live. Living there will assure us that forty years from now we will be saying, “Since Roe v Wade there have been more than 110 MILLION babies KILLED.” That is 110,000,000 lives.”

Will you PLEASE join this fight with us? 

 

*******************

Update from Facebook page yesterday:

 

Everyone from the Discover Zac Ryan team wants to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!! We are very, very thankful for all the support given from so many. We are grateful for the opportunity to share such a powerful story/film. With that, I am ex...cited to share we are looking at a February 2014 limited theatrical release date! If you would like to be part of our church captain's (spread-the-word) team, please send a FB message! Thanks again!

Margaret Sanger, Snopes, Planned Parenthood and the Ku Klux Klan

We really don't need to consult Snopes, the internet Urban Legend Reference Page, to answer the question, "Was Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger really a keynote speaker at a Ku Klux Klan Rally?"

This is an easy one.

Just turn to page 366 of the Margaret Sanger's own autobiography, Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography and read the following excerpt:

I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.  (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)



 

A Tale of Two Mothers: My Pro-Life Mom Versus Margaret Sanger

A great story from LifeNews.com:

History. It’s disposable. How often do we use it to bolster a cause and then quickly discard it when its inconvenient truths call that effort into question? March is Women’s History Month. Americans celebrate the courage and tenacity of those who’ve made the world a better place. We should take the opportunity to pause and intentionally look closer at the totality of these women’s lives. Understanding their motivation, what sustained their passion, and how such indelible marks along the human timeline have been made, is simply powerful.

Here is a tale of two women with amazingly similar beginnings. I’ll allow history to speak for itself so you can see where their chosen journeys have brought them.

My mother, Andrea Bomberger, grew up poor. She had an alcoholic father who was verbally and emotionally abusive to her mother. The marriage was dysfunctional, to say the least, and it put a young girl in a situation of temporary abandonment at the age of five. While her parents split, Andrea was placed in a faith-based home for children called Christ’s Home in Paradise. For nearly a year as her parents tried to sort out their tumultuous relationship, she became, in essence, an orphan. Although Andrea’s parents would visit her separately, at least she had visitors. There was one girl in particular who suffered with physical deformities and for the entire duration never had one visitor. She never had anyone to hug, hold, or tell her that she was loved.

Antonio Cardinal Bacci: The Main Way to Conquer Temptation

Antonio Cardinal Bacci: Meditations For Each Day

 

29th July

The Main Way to Conquer Temptation

1. God never allows us to be tempted beyond our strength, but will always give us the grace which we need in order to resist. “God is faithful,” St. Paul writes, “and will not permit you to be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will always give you a way out that you may be able to bear it.” (Cor. 10:13)

The man who is so discourag...ed by frequent falls that he surrenders to temptation and resigns himself to the slavery of sin as if there were no other way out, is making a fatal mistake. God is infinitely good and merciful and loves us all, even those who are sinners. Remember the parable of the Prodigal Son and of the lost sheep. How could our heavenly Father abandon us and not give us the strength to resist evil?

If we are discouraged, let us ask God's help, for He loves us and knows how weak we are. “He knows how we are formed.” (Ps. 102:14) It is a favourite trick of the devil to persuade us that nothing can help us. Let us cast aside all thoughts of discouragement, therefore, and arm ourselves with the necessary spiritual weapons. With humility, perseverance, and the grace of God, we are sure to triumph.

2. The masters of the spiritual life suggest various ways of combating temptation. As St. Alphonsus de' Liguori points out, however, “the first way is absolutely essential, and that is to pray to God for the light and strength to conquer. Without prayer it is impossible to overcome temptation, whereas with prayer we are sure of victory.” (Al Servizio Divino, p. 11, c. 6)

The reason is obvious. Prayer is not simply a verbal address to Almighty God, but is an elevation of the mind and heart, a conversation with God. Let us pray, therefore, with confidence and with love.

3. Jesus Himself commands us to do this. “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (Mt. 26:41) Temptation against chastity in particular can only be conquered by prayer. There must be no hesitation, but an immediate recourse to God as soon as the temptation is experienced.

“Slay the enemy while it is small,”' recommends St. Jerome. When a lion is small, it is easily killed, but if we wait for it to grow up, it will be more likely to kill us instead. It is the same with temptation. St. Francis de Sales tells us that we should imitate the little children who fly to the arms of their father and mother as soon as they spy a wolf. We should fly to Jesus and Mary for protection.

As long as temptation lasts we should persevere in prayer.

Six Quotes Hint Why Margaret Sanger Received “a dozen invitations” to speak at Ku Klux Klan Rallies

Most of us, myself included, will live our entire lives and never be invited to speak at a single Ku Klux Klan Rally.  And yet, Margaret Sanger, the foundress of Planned Parenthood, received at least 13 such invitations.  Would someone from Planned Parenthood please tell us why Margaret Sanger was so in demand on the KKK speaking circuit?

Six Quotes Hint Why Marget Sanger Received “a dozen invitations” to speak at Ku Klux Klan Rallies

Margaret Sanger wrote about her Ku Klux Klan speech in her autobiography, “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.” (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

Most of us, myself included, will live our entire lives and never be invited to speak at a single Ku Klux Klan Rally.  And yet, Margaret Sanger, the foundress of Planned Parenthood, received at least 13 such invitations.  Would someone from Planned Parenthood please tell us why Margaret Sanger was so in demand on the KKK speaking circuit?

What did Margaret Sanger say in her talk at the KKK Rally in Silver Lake New Jersey that led to twelve more invitations? Well, take a look at some of her past quotes:


1) “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon’s Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.

2) “Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need … We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock.”

Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review.

3) “Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying … demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism … [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant … We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.”

Who Said It? The Founder of Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger or Aryan Nation Leader and Neo-Nazi Tom Metzger? Take the Quiz

WHO SAID IT?

Margaret Sanger or Aryan Nation Leader Tom Metzger

First some background on our two quotable and notable contestants:


The ADL website provides the following profile of Tom Metzger, leader of White Aryan Resistance:

Tom Metzger, a television repairman from Fallbrook, California, has been a leader in organized bigotry for more than 25 years...He has been widely acknowledged as the principal mentor of the neo-Nazi skinhead movement since its appearance in America during the mid-1980s; in this connection, he attracted nationwide publicity in 1990, when an Oregon jury rendered a $12.5 million judgment against him and his son, John, for inciting the murder of an Ethiopian immigrant by skinheads. Today, although still paying the judgment, Metzger continues to cultivate a following through his monthly newspaper, WAR, White Aryan Resistance, a Web site, a telephone hotline, an e-mail newsletter, and other media.

Margaret Sanger, on the other hand, was the founder of Planned Parenthood. Recently voted one of Time Magazine’s 100 Leaders and Revolutionaries for the 20th Century, she is an inductee into the American Nurses Association Hall of Fame and the National Women's Hall of Fame. Gloria Steinem recently wrote as follows about Ms. Sanger in Time Magazine:

The movement she started will grow to be, a hundred years from now, the most influential of all time," predicted futurist and historian H.G. Wells in 1931. "When the history of our civilization is written, it will be a biological history, and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine."

One is a “heroine” of the 20th Century. The other a modern villain. So the following quiz concerning who said what ought to be easy. Right? Well try your luck and you may be surprised.

Margaret or Metzger?

1. “Negroes and Southern Europeans are mentally inferior to native born Americans”


2. “Since Christianity is in fact a slave religion, it is satirical at least to see the negro adopt a slave religion, after chattel slavery was ended. It simply underlines the fact that consciously or unconsciously, weak humans desire the status of sheep, no matter what they say.”


3. “More children from the fit, less from the unfit."


4. “...apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”


5. "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated."


6. “Covertly invest into non-White areas, invest in ghetto abortion clinics. Help to raise money for free abortions, in primarily non-White areas. Perhaps abortion clinic syndicates throughout North America, that primarily operate in non-White areas and receive tax support, should be promoted.”


7. "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten that idea out if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."


Extra Credit


8. Who was the guest speaker at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Silverlake, N. J.in 1926 and subsequently invited to speak at 12 more KKK rallies, Margaret or Metzger?

9. Which current Civil Rights Leader once stated the following:
"Abortion is black genocide...What happens to the mind of a person and the moral fabric of a nation , that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience?"


10. Who is a responsible for the deaths of millions of black Americans?


a. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

b. White Aryan Resistance Leader Tom Meztger

c. Sanger and Metzger.

Presence of My Enemies: A Great New Prolife Novel by Christopher Gladu

A week or so ago while visiting FreeRepublic.com, we stumbled upon a great new prolife novel by Christopher Gladu.  The book is entitled Presence of My Enemies .

Many Catholic high school summer reading lists these days are filled with lousy, vulgar books.  What a pleasant alternative this book is.  We would encourage one of our great national prolife organizations ( HLI  , Priests for Life , ALL , National Right to Life  ) to take the lead next year in contacting every Catholic high school in the country and request that some well-written prolife works like Presence of My Enemies be added to summer reading lists.  And maybe add our all time favorite The Hand of God by Bernard Nathanson as well.   Imagine the impact it could have!

We would love to review this tremendous book in full, but for now, this brief summary from a noted prolife leader will have to do:

Author Christopher Gladu's Presence of My Enemies is a brilliant, sobering story of one young woman's struggle with an unexpected pregnancy. Gladu's masterful writing style intertwines the characters' lives in both an intriguing and clever design that keeps the reader riveted through each chapter. A must-read book that is powerful, emotional and a gripping thriller!  Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director Children of God for Life

We have long advocated spreading the Gospel of Life in as many artistic ways as possible.  Gladu's amazing novel is certainly deserving of a wholehearted embrace from all in the prolife community.  Go buy this book.


 

Then: Aryan Nation Leader says "Covertly invest in ghetto abortion clinics" Now: NYC Black Abortion Rate at 58%

Aryan Nation Leader Tom Metzger advised his racist followers:

Covertly invest into non-White areas, invest in ghetto abortion clinics. Help to raise money for free abortions, in primarily non-White areas. Perhaps abortion clinic syndicates throughout North America, that primarily operate in non-White areas and receive tax support, should be promoted.
***

According to Life News:

The abortion industry in New York City continues to prey on lower-income black women as almost 58 percent of pregnancies end in abortion for black women and children. The ratio of abortions for African-American women remained demographically highest in the city in 2011 while Asian and Pacific Island women had the lowest ratio at 18.2%.
