A Look Back at Margaret Sanger Art Contest Winners

The Margaret Sanger autobiography informs that "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)

When I read this account eight years ago, I went on line to see how different artists and historians had handled this historic event. To my surprise, the event had been completely ignored. Something had to be done. The answer was the Margaret Sanger at the Ku Klux Klan Rally Art Contest. On January 16, 2005, our little art contest was born.

The 2009 winner was cartoonist Glenn McCoy at Town Hall for this incredible effort:



2008 Winner of the Margaret Sanger Art Contest was Rosary Films








2007 Winner of the Margaret Sanger Art Contest was Carrie Tomko


In a very close decision, Carrie Tomko won the 3rd Annual Margaret Sanger at the Klan Rally Art Contest. This was Carrie's winning entry:

Ms. Margaret and the Klan

There once was a woman named Margaret,
Who made Negro babies her target.
She longed to see less of them,
Courted the death of them,
Sanger, this woman named Margaret.

The wives of the Klansmen who meet
Disguised in voluminous sheet,
Gave her their attention
At secret convention
To learn of her childless technique.

Ms. Sanger was poorly impressed.
Elementary they are she confessed.
So childlike she found them,
Dumbed her talk down for them,
Sanger their arrogant guest.

The organization she ran
Has snuffed out more blacks than the Klan,
Yet people aren't frighted,
But rather delighted,
Embracing the Parenthood Planned.

The judges were greatly impressed by all the entries. Fellow judge, Jill Stanek, noted, "I could tell contestants worked hard to incorporate your theme. Very creative lot!"

A very, very close second place (and winner of the reader poll!) was Chris Chan and his poweful short play, "The Killed Story."

Third place went to Bill Hailey and his terrific poem, "Such a Loving Margaret Sanger." Be sure to check out more of Bill's work (and link to it!) at his blog, "Bill's Big Blog" - - great stuff!

Thanks also went to The Catholic Caveman and the unknown writer of Haikus for their strong entries.

Special thanks to our 2007 Margaret Sanger Art Contest judges, Sean Dailey and Jill Stanek.






2006 Winner of the Margaret Sanger Art Contest was Consanescerion






2005 Winner of the Margaret Sanger Art Contest was Registered

How Does Planned Parenthood Celebrate Black History Month? Anti-Abortion Pro-Life Video

Undoubtedly, during Margaret Sanger’s well documented trip to talk to the Ku Klux Klan, she must have assuredly spoken in very generous terms of African Americans.

Another great video from Rosary Films.

The website at African American Business describes it as follows:

How Does Planned Parenthood Celebrate Black History Month?

The following statement appears on Planned Parenthood’s website: “In observance of Black History Month, Planned Parenthood is celebrating the leadership of African Americans who led the fight for reproductive freedom.”

This is all very touching — that Planned Parenthood would take time from their busy schedule of killing black babies in their Abortion Clinics — to proclaim their appreciation for the African-American community. The Planned Parenthood website goes on to recognize the achievements of that famous advocate of nonviolence — the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. as if Dr. King somehow posthumously approves the violent killings of the more than 1500 babies that will be destroyed in a black woman’s womb every day, a significant portion of which, are performed in Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics.

The Planned Parenthood website also states that, “Planned Parenthood is committed to providing the highest level of care to people of all cultures and backgrounds.” This is indeed very generous of Planned Parenthood to lend a helping hand to one of Margaret Sanger’s favorite ethnic groups, as exemplified by Margaret Sanger’s famous “Negro Project”.

 Undoubtedly, during Margaret Sanger’s well documented trip to talk to the Ku Klux Klan, she must have assuredly spoken in very generous terms of African Americans. However, the Planned Parenthood website that addresses Black History Month, mysteriously fails to …

Must Read Article on Margaret Sanger

My Lord Katie has a tremendous historical review of the life of Margaret Sanger.  The well documented post- Margaret Sanger - Provider of Death - is a must read for anyone seeking to understand  Planned Parenthood, its racist founder and the multi-billion abortion industry.

Here is abrief excerpt, but I encourage everyone to read the entire post at My Lord Katie:

Planned Parenthood is clearly misnamed; it should be called Planned Un-parenthood. It is clear that they are in the business of promoting their death-style. As we have shown in a previous posting, they run a multi-million dollar business killing babies. It is in their interest to promote illicit sex, so they can reap the monetary rewards to themselves from the results.







This is horrible enough, but the statistics on their war against blacks should be made public to everyone. Where is the outrage? Are they too protected by other godless politicians? I don’t know, but it is time for us all to do something.






And what about Margaret Sanger? Did her profligate ways make her happy? On the contrary, she ultimately lost everything before she died – love, happiness, satisfaction, family, and friends. She did not find fulfillment in her blatant racism, revolutionary socialism, sexual perversion and insatiable avarice. Without the peace that only God can give, she led a disturbed and unhappy life. In her later life she was very bitter and became fixated with drugs, alcohol, and the occult.






She truly loved death and her followers today agree with her that,


“The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” (Women and the New Race, Eugenics Pub. Co.,1920). That’s what Planned Parenthood is all about.

Make Son Watch Brian's Song Before Letting Him Wear Pink!

From http://achievinggravitas.blogspot.com/

Son Want to Wear Pink? Make Him Watch Brian's Song First




Across the country this weekend, football and soccer fields will be filled with boys wearing pink socks, pink shoe laces and pink wrist bands trying to emulate their heroes on TV - - and oh yeah, it has something to do with cancer.



Wouldn't it be great if before letting their boys wear pink for a cause they might not quite yet understand, dads across America required their boys to first watch the timeless movie Brian's Song ? Then when they pulled on those pink socks the next morning, the kid would know what he was truly trying to support.

Saturday Begins Margaret Sanger Spoke at KKK Rally Week: Post It, Tweet It, Blog It

Prolife leaders are asking that the first week of October be set aside to recall the fact that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, spoke at Ku Klux Klan rally. As stated 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."

85 years after the Planned Parenthood foundress spoke at the KKK rally Planned Parenthood:

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


Please help highlight this historic event by reposting, blogging, tweeting and even discussing it with friends all next week!

Margaret InSanger? 6 Symptoms Suggest Planned Parenthood Founder & KKK Speaker Margaret Sanger Suffered from Mental Illness

Margaret InSanger?


6 Symptoms Suggest Planned Parenthood Founder & KKK Speaker Suffered Mental Illness



In her Autobiography, Margaret Sanger tells us "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)

How did Margaret Sanger wind up travelling the country speaking at Ku Klux Klan rallies?

How did an alcoholic and Demerol addict wind up creating, what is today, a multi-billion dollar organization responsible for more deaths than any war in history?

Why did Margaret Sanger have such a deep seeded hatred of blacks, the handicapped and the poor?

Not long ago, I bumped into a good friend who happens to be a highly regarded psychiatrist.  I asked her how it was possible for one person to be as evil as Sanger, and she suggested to me that based on every she now knows about Margaret Sanger, she very likely suffered from a very serious mental illness.  She rattled off a string of reasons a few of which I have researched and listed below.  I am hoping my friend will in the near future publish her own findings on this topic, but for now, just thought I would put this out there for some discussion and scholarly review. 

Looking back at Sanger now, it is quite evident that she suffered from acute mental illness.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

Signs and symptoms of mental illness can vary, depending on the particular disorder and other factors. Mental illness symptoms can affect emotions, thoughts and behaviors. Sometimes symptoms of a mental health disorder appear as physical problems.

Abnormal thinking, behavior and emotions

These types of mental illness signs and symptoms can include:

• Alcohol or drug abuse

• Excessive anger, hostility or violence

• Excessive fears or worries

• Withdrawal from friends and activities

• Sex drive changes

• Confused thinking

There are some excellent biographies on Margaret Sanger out there.

BlackGenocide.org has a great The Truth About Margaret Sanger section and the American Life League has a great article posted on EWTN entitled MARGARET SANGER: MOTHER OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION .  Also see The Negro Project: Margaret Sanger's Eugenic Plan for Black Americans .


The more you study the life of Margaret Sanger and compare her conduct and behavior with the classic signs and symptoms of Mental Illness, the more convinced you will become that the Founder of Planned Parenthood was absolutely mentally ill.

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


Take the QUIZ:



Who Said it? Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger or Aryan Nation's 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 &
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, 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.

d. Neither

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

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)

What did Margaret Sanger say in her talk at the KKK Rally 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.”

4) “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

Past Winners of Margaret Sanger Art Contest 2005 through 2009

Question for Douglas Kmiec: Will Obama's Free Taxpayer-funded Abortions Reduce the Number of Abortions?

Douglas Kmiec keeps telling us that Obama policies will lead to a reduced number of abortions. Today we learn that Obama wants taxpayers to pay for free abortions in Washington D.C. What's next free cigarettes for teens to reduce smoking? Free pot in government schools to reduce drug use? Exactly how will making abortions free make them less rare?










And Doug, guess who is celebrating after Obama's 1st 100 days (hint, it is not unborn babies)?

How Massive Protests Can Save Judas Jenkins, Barack Obortion, and the formerly Catholic Notre Dame

Many prolifers are embarrassed when fellow prolifers behave as if abortion is truly murder. And then there are those who behave and speak clearly on behalf of our unborn brothers and sisters:

Below is the text of Bishop Bruskewitz’s letter to Notre Dame president Fr. John Jenkins.

April 3, 2009

The Reverend John Jenkins, C.S.C
President, University of Notre Dame
400 Main Building
Notre Dame, IN 46556

Reverend and dear Father Jenkins,

Permit me to add my name as well to the long list of Bishops of the Catholic Church who are utterly appalled at your dedication to immorality and wrong-doing represented by your support for the obscenity called “The Vagina Monologues” and your absolute indifference to the murderous abortion program and beliefs of this President of the United States.

The fact that you have some sort of past connection with the State of Nebraska makes it all the more painful that the Catholic people here have to see your betrayal of the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.

I can assure you of my prayers for your conversion, and for the conversion of your formerly Catholic University. I am,
Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,

The Most Reverend Fabian W. Bruskewitz
Bishop of Lincoln

*******************************************************
The great bishop assures Father Jenkins of his prayers "for your conversion, and for the conversion of your formerly Catholic University." Is such a conversion possible and if so how can it be brought about?

The path to such a conversion may be spelled out in the compelling autobiography of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life by the Abortion Doctor Who Changed His Mind - published by Regnery Publishing, 1996.

In his powerful book review of this autobiography, Father John McCloskey writes as follows:

However, he (Nathanson) ends the book on a note of hope in Christ's mercy, forgiveness, and offer of salvation. As is often the case in a story of conversion, it is the prayers and personal example of so many of his pro-life friends and coworkers that over time melt down the resistance of a hardened atheistic sinner so that he can see that there might be room in God's heart even for the likes of him. Speaking of the witness of pro-lifers at a demonstration at an abortion clinic: "They prayed, they supported, and encouraged each other, they sang hymns of joy, and they constantly reminded each other of the absolute prohibition against violence. They prayed for the unborn babies, for the confused and pregnant women, and for the doctors and nurses in the clinic. They even prayed for the police and media who were covering the event. And I wondered: how can these people give of themselves for a constituency that is (and always will be) mute, invisible, and unable to thank them?" With respect to the confrontation between idealism and hardened cynicism, the description of such demonstrations could remind us of early accounts of the Christian martyrs in the Colosseum of Rome facing the lions.

Witnessing these pro-life demonstrators who were willing to go to jail and suffer bankruptcy for their belief made such a powerful impression on Nathanson that "for the first time in my entire adult life, I began seriously to entertain the notion of God, a God who problematically had led me through the proverbial circles of hell, only to show me the way to redemption and mercy through His Grace. The thought violated every eighteenth century certainty that I had cherished; it instantly converted my past into a vile bog of sin and evil; it indicted me and convicted me of high crimes against those who loved me, and against those whom I did not even know, and simultaneously–miraculously–it held out a shimmering sliver of hope to me, in the growing belief that Someone had died for my sins and my evil two millennia ago."

***********************************************************
If years ago prolifers had bestowed awards and praise upon the then abortionist Nathanson, it is not likely that Nathanson would have converted to the pro-life cause and ultimately to Catholicism. More likely, Nathanson would have thought to himself, "these folks say abortion is the killing of unborn children, but they sure don't act that way." Indeed, it was the willingness to go to jail and suffer bankruptcy; it was prolifers behaving as if abortion was truly murder; it was individuals making huge sacrifices for the least of our brothers; it was all these things (not dialouge) that changed the heart and mind of Dr. Nathanson.

We have a tremendous opportunity over the next few weeks to make a clear and bold statement concerning the sanctity of human life. It is not just another issue on which respectable people can disagree. We must stand up boldy, courageously, and loudly, and tell Notre Dame and Obama, "we will no longer stand by quietly and let the least of our brothers be slaughtered." Thirty-one bishops have found their voice and spoken out against the Notre Dame invitation. If you have been on the sidelines, it is time join the battle. Abortion is murder - act like it. Do something.

"When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I've often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God -- and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there'll be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world -- and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, 'Spare him, because he loved us!'"
Congressman Henry Hyde

Doctor told Tim Tebow's Mom to Abort Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow with the "controversial" John 3:16 under his eyes.



MIRACLE CHILD
Living in the Philippines as missionaries, Pam and her husband, Bob, who now heads the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association, had been told the baby she was carrying needed to be aborted because she had complications due to medication used for an amoeba infection.


“They didn’t recommend; they didn’t really give me a choice,” Tebow said. “That was the only option they gave me.”


At the same time doctors were telling her to have an abortion, Bob Tebow had been out preaching in the field. “He was so burdened about abortions taking place in America,” Tebow recalled.


“Lord, if you give us another son, then we’ll raise him to be a preacher,” Tebow recalls her husband praying. And so, with four little children and their parents heads bowed, the Tebow family prayed for a miracle.
“We all prayed for Timmy by name,” Tebow said. “It was a very serious prayer. We prayed that God would give us a Timothy.
“It was just amazing that God spared him, but we knew God has His hand on his life” Tebow said. “We all, through all these years, have told Timmy that.”
Tebow said she and her husband have told all of their children they are special and God has a “special” plan for their lives. Tim’s situation, however, was more intense because of the less predictable outcome.
“I guess it was a little more dramatic because we saw the miracle of Timmy’s birth and we continually reminded him, God has a special plan for your life,” Tebow said.
“It was sweet, it was a really a great beginning because you know when something is hard to come by, you value it so much,” Tebow said. “We value all our children, but all of our children value Timmy because they’d all had a part in praying for him.
“He is a well-loved kid,” Tebow said.
And it’s likely that security, fostered by a loving and caring family—along with a hearty dose of God-given talent—that’s allowed the young man to flourish as a leader both on the football field and on the mission field.
“Whether it’s fighting for the National Championship or fighting to see the Gospel brought to a country where people have never heard the name of Christ—I think that’s what probably has made him a good leader, that he’s passionate and that he’s not afraid to stand alone,” his mom said.
Tebow said she’s thought about Tim in the context of being the youngest child and how typically younger children follow their elders, but thinks the notion that he was raised very securely has helped him to develop into the strong leader he is.

Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Tebow Could Have Been a Victim of Abortion
TheWorld...IMHO Dec 10, 2007, 7:00 am


Congrats to Tim Tebow for winning the Heisman!
And God bless his mother for supporting life!

University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow became the first sophomore in the history of the NCAA to win the coveted Heisman Trophy as the best football player in the nation. However, Tebow's accomplishments may never have been supported has his mother followed a doctor's recommendation to have an abortion.

With 29 passing touchdowns and 22 rushing touchdowns, Tebow displayed the kind of versatility that has become more valued at the quarterback position.

Pam Tebow and her husband were Christian missionaries in the Philippines in 1985 and they prayed for "Timmy" before she became pregnant.

Unfortunately, as the Gainesville Sun reports, Pam entered into a coma after she contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in a contaminated food or drink.

The treatment for the medical condition would require strong medications that doctors told Pam had caused irreversible damage to Tim -- so they advised her to have an abortion.

As the Sun reported, Pam Tebow refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted.

A Look Back at Margaret Sanger Art Contest Winners

The Margaret Sanger autobiography informs that "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)

When I read this account five years ago, I went on line to see how different artists and historians had handled this historic event. To my surprise, the event had been completely ignored. Something had to be done. The answer was the Margaret Sanger at the Ku Klux Klan Rally Art Contest. On January 16, 2005, our little art contest was born.

2008 Winner of the Margaret Sanger Art Contest was Rosary Films










2007 Winner of the Margaret Sanger Art Contest was Carrie Tomko



In a very close decision, Carrie Tomko won the 3rd Annual Margaret Sanger at the Klan Rally Art Contest. This was Carrie's winning entry:

Ms. Margaret and the Klan

There once was a woman named Margaret,
Who made Negro babies her target.
She longed to see less of them,
Courted the death of them,
Sanger, this woman named Margaret.

The wives of the Klansmen who meet
Disguised in voluminous sheet,
Gave her their attention
At secret convention
To learn of her childless technique.

Ms. Sanger was poorly impressed.
Elementary they are she confessed.
So childlike she found them,
Dumbed her talk down for them,
Sanger their arrogant guest.

The organization she ran
Has snuffed out more blacks than the Klan,
Yet people aren't frighted,
But rather delighted,
Embracing the Parenthood Planned.

The judges were greatly impressed by all the entries. Fellow judge, Jill Stanek, noted, "I could tell contestants worked hard to incorporate your theme. Very creative lot!"

A very, very close second place (and winner of the reader poll!) was Chris Chan and his poweful short play, "The Killed Story."

Third place went to Bill Hailey and his terrific poem, "Such a Loving Margaret Sanger." Be sure to check out more of Bill's work (and link to it!) at his blog, "Bill's Big Blog" - - great stuff!

Thanks also went to The Catholic Caveman and the unknown writer of Haikus for their strong entries.

Special thanks to our 2007 Margaret Sanger Art Contest judges, Sean Dailey and Jill Stanek.
