One eugenics expert, Eugen Fischer, whom Sanger\u00a0featured as a speaker<\/a>\u00a0at a population conference she organized, had already\u00a0run a concentration camp<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 in German-ruled Southwest Africa, before World War I, where he murdered, starved and experimented on helpless native Africans. It was Fischer\u2019s book on eugenics, which Hitler had read in prison, that convinced Hitler of its central importance. Another longtime official of Planned Parenthood, Garrett Hardin, had a decades-long track record of serving in eugenics organizations, and as late as the 1980s was calling for mass forced sterilization of Americans as a necessary solution to the \u201cpopulation problem.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The same people served on the boards of the American Eugenics Society and Sanger\u2019s organizations for decades, and they worked closely together on countless projects \u2014 ranging from researching the birth control pill as a means of diminishing the African-American birth rate (they tested the early, hazardous versions of the Pill on impoverished rural women in Puerto Rico), to passing forced sterilization or castration laws in more than a dozen states that targeted blacks and other poor people accused of \u201cfeeble mindedness\u201d or \u201cshiftlessness\u201d and diagnosed as \u201cunfit\u201d parents.<\/em><\/p>\n
