Last week, (on Hallowe'en) republican president hopeful Herman Cain courageously spoke out against the founding ideology of Planned Parenthood and the aims of its foundress Margaret Sanger. He said that these abortion mills target poor minority neighborhoods, especially black neighborhoods, and this thinking is along eugenic lines and a logical outworking of the eugenic policies of Margaret Sanger.
Some newspapers and agencies of a lefty persuasion found these comments less than sanguine and felt that these comments were unwarranted and and and unfair. Alex Sanger (Margaret's grandson), who was not aborted, criticized Cain's comments in The Guardian newspaper on All Saints Day (November 1st), saying that many African-American leaders were supportive of Sanger's birth control (read : prevention) regimes and that the numbers don't support Cain's comments in that 36 % of abortions happen to whites while 30 % happen to black people. This is a statistical sleight-of-hand - black people in America account for only 12 % of the population, making their 30 % fraction much more significant. Per capita, abortion is much more widespread attack on the African-American family of today. This is the same fallacious conflagration of numbers that distorts the truth that Planned Parenthood gets over half their revenue from abortions, and purports to show that only 3 % of it's services are on abortions. It would appear that numerical and moral obfuscation go hand in hand. Life Site News presented information that slipped past the left-wing fact checkers studies that in fact, Mark Crutcher's presented data that showed that- " of the 116 ZIP codes found to have more than one population control facility, 84 were disproportionately black and/or Hispanic."
Whether PP's agenda is making revenue from abortions and capitalizing from the fear and parental negligence of young people who find themselves pregnant, or whether they are promoting eugenics (but not in word, since it's reputation was completely darkened after WWII) for its sake, or whether it really is purely (or rather impurely) an agent to bring about the moral corruption of human beings and the destruction of their own children, it's difficult to say, but the aims of it's founder were rather clear.
According to the website Dian Edew, Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech. This thinking is not too far away from the ring of Planned Parenthood's more up to date manifesto : "PP has encouraged homosexuality and advocated compulsory sterilization of all who have two children" (Family Planning Perspectives (a PP publication), June, Oct. 1970). Referring to poor immigrants and blacks, she called them
"...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people. Margaret Sanger was a Klu-Klux clan meeting-attending eugenicist who said "More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12.
Be that economic, medical or mentally unfitness, it is still the eugenic except in name-only attempts of a federally funded machine for deceiving a generation to allow innocent children to be crushed under the cog of a machine that, like the holocausts of previous governments and peoples, coldly treats them as non-human.
By a startling coincidence, the next day Mr. Cain was accused of sexual harassment. These alleged events were said to have taken place in the 1990s. It could be coincidence of timing, but its rather strange that the only person who visibly came forward did not seek justice straight away but appears had to wait well over a decade to feel hurt and seek wrath.
