Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger

But had I not researched eugenics and Margaret Sanger, I might not be able to provide the following quotes, taken from, get this, Margaret Sanger's article, "The Eugenic Birth Control Propaganda," printed in Birth Control Review, Oct. 1921, page 5. "Eugenics is ... the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems."

Then there's this quote: "As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation.... On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective." And this one, too: "The campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the final aims of eugenics."
