Eugenics is a pseudoscience which pitted the so-called “fit” against those deemed “unfit” to procreate. Its origins date back to the mid 1800’s, where it was promoted as an accepted science. By the early 1930s, the American Eugenics movement had become so influential that it was reported by some to have influenced Adolf Hitler in his aims to create a “master race.” Under its rubric in the United States, eugenicists shamefully targeted people of color, the disabled, and others with sterilization without their knowledge or consent. The memories of this tragic era still weigh heavily on memories of the victims and their families, including Fox News\u00a0<\/em>contributor Dagen McDowell, who recently disclosed on “Outnumbered” that her aunt had been eugenically sterilized “because\u00a0she was mentally disabled.”<\/p>\n

McDowell pointed out that in the same way that eugenics tarnished our nation, abortion will also be stain on the United States. Her statement caught the attention<\/a> of the\u00a0George Soros-funded<\/a>\u00a0group Media Matters, which uploaded the video but failed to include any commentary. Perhaps that is because McDowell is correct.<\/p>\n
