These are the words of Margaret Sanger. Sanger, as we all know, founded Planned Parenthood and we also all know just how the liberals LOVE Planned Parenthood. Along with horrible a deep feeling of hatred toward races other than white, Sanger also held some interesting ideas concerning…birth control and why it is necessary.
On adultery:
A woman’s physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage vow, Sanger believed. Birth Control in America, p. 11
On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was “to create a race of thoroughbreds,” she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)
On religious convictions regarding sex outside of marriage:
“This book aims to answer the needs expressed in thousands on thousands of letters to me in the solution of marriage problems… Knowledge of sex truths frankly and plainly presented cannot possibly injure healthy, normal, young minds. Concealment, suppression, futile attempts to veil the unveilable – these work injury, as they seldom succeed and only render those who indulge in them ridiculous. For myself, I have full confidence in the cleanliness, the open-mindedness, the promise of the younger generation.” Margaret Sanger, Happiness in Marriage (Bretano’s, New York, 1927)
On the Catholic Church’s view of contraception:
“…enforce SUBJUGATION by TURNING WOMAN INTO A MERE INCUBATOR.” The Woman Rebel – No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.
From Sanger’s writings.
“Everywhere we look, we see poverty and large families going hand in hand. We see hordes of children whose parents cannot feed, clothe, or educate even one half of the number born to them. We see sick, harassed, broken mothers whose health and nerves cannot bear the strain of further child-bearing. We see fathers growing despondent and desperate, because their labor cannot bring the necessary wage to keep their growing families. We see that those parents who are least fit to reproduce the race are having the largest number of children; while people of wealth, leisure, and education are having small families.”
From Sandra Fluke’s Testimony
“When I look around my campus, I see the faces of the women affected by this lack of contraceptive coverage.
And especially in the last week, I have heard more and more of their stories. On a daily basis, I hear yet from another woman from Georgetown or from another school or who works for a religiously-affiliated employer, and they tell me that they have suffered financially and emotionally and medically because of this lack of coverage.
And so, I’m here today to share their voices, and I want to thank you for allowing them – not me – to be heard.
Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. 40% of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggle financially as a result of this policy.”
“Just last week, a married female student told me that she had to stop using contraception because she and her husband just couldn’t fit it into their budget anymore. Women employed in low-wage jobs without contraceptive coverage face the same choice.”
Interesting, is it not, that BOTH women seem to include in their writings, religious institutions, female hardship, stress, education, financial burdens etc?
From Margaret Sanger
“While in this country there is perhaps no need for immediate alarm on this account, there are many other reasons for demanding birth control. At present, for the poor mother, there is only one alternative to the necessity of bearing children year after year, regardless of her health, of the welfare of the children she already has, and of the income of the family. This alternative is abortion, which is so common as to be almost universal, especially where there are rigid laws against imparting information for the prevention of conception.”
On abortion:
“Criminal’ abortions arise from a perverted sex relationship under the stress of economic necessity, and their greatest frequency is among married women.” The Woman Rebel – No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.
“No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.”
“The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
“I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world – that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically. Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things just marked when they’re born. That to me is the greatest sin – that people can – can commit.”
Sanger, of course, was also a great proponent of cutting the “negro” race through abortion and eugenics. A sick and disturbed woman indeed.
Now then, back to Sandra Fluke, who, as far as we know, has no racial bias at least outwardly, which is apparent. However, Fluke IS the past President of Law Students for Reproductive Justice and look what we find on THEIR website:
“…we aim to construct legally tenable, realistically accessible avenues for informed, consensual, unobstructed decision-making about education, sex, contraception, sterilization, abortion, procreation, birthing, and parenting.”
Well, well…Both women express staunch advocacy for contraception. Both advocate abortion. Both cite education, stress, financial hardship and a myriad of other similar components in their reasoning.
Given the fact that Sandra is a card carrying liberal, it’s no stretch of the imagination to believe she is also a strong supporter of Margaret’s Planned Parenthood either.
This leaves us with but one question.
Does anyone believe that Sandra’s stylish appearance last week before a Congressional hearing was…
A Fluke?
While pundits and the media wail on regarding “contraception” and the war of words between Limbaugh and Fluke and make endless comparisons between what Limbaugh said and what Maher said, drag out the liberal war on conservative women and so on, I suspect the REAL issue here, and behind the Fluke appearance last week, is liberals looking for a way to open the door for continued taxpayer funded abortion via Planned Parenthood.
It’s no small secret that conservatives want Planned Parenthood defunded and liberals, via the providing of contraception through Obamacare, would have a foot in the door.
There are NO coincidences in politics and Fluke becoming the poster woman for the “Contraception” issue, given her background, amounts to a deception or distraction by liberals.
Pay no attention to the 23 year old 30 year old woman in front of the committee. While she was talking about contraception, liberals behind the curtain are thinking about using YOUR ongoing tax dollars to provide abortions.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you don’t know that the Sanger quote about “word getting out that [they] want to exterminate the negro population” is taken out of context. Reading the full quote, it’s clear that the reason she didn’t want that word getting out was because it was wrong. Birth control should be used to increase quality of life rather than quantity – if being in favor of such things makes me a “paleo-con,” so be it.
“Knowledge of sex truths frankly and plainly presented cannot possibly injure healthy, normal, young minds. Concealment, suppression, futile attempts to veil the unveilable – these work injury, as they seldom succeed and only render those who indulge in them ridiculous.”
You know what? She was right. Ignorance is not the answer. The truth shall set you free.
Cindy Chafian of the Mommy Lobby and Melissa Ortiz of Able Americans invite you to meet them on Freedom Plaza in DC at NOON this coming Saturday, 3/10/12 (OPPOSITE END FROM THE OCCUPIERS).
