Margaret Sanger.<\/p><\/div>\n

Margaret Sanger<\/a>, the founder of Planned Parenthood, lived from 1879-1966<\/a>. Over the course of her life, she partnered with advocates of eugenics and birth control to set in motion an ideology that has since become pervasive in the United States and throughout the world.<\/p>\n

Sanger’s primary ends were to eradicate the so-called “unfit” from society and to “empower” women with control of their own fertility. What she may or may not have foreseen, however, were the full consequences of these pursuits, which have proven devastating to America.<\/p>\n

Sanger was herself a eugenicist<\/a>, believing that entire groups of human beings did not belong on Earth. She advocated sterilization and widespread birth control to ensure that certain “types” of people were never born. These groups included the black population, and anyone who was not the perfect definition of health as Sanger and her eugenicist buddies defined the term. And their list was quite detailed, as her “way to peace<\/a>” outlines. The following people would ideally be sterilized out of existence, or at the very least segregated from “fit” society.<\/p>\n
