Glenn Beck Invites Anti-Statue Activists to Tear This One Down

a reply to: infolurker

Did you even read the whole npr article? It debunks the very claims you are making.

I guess you think black women are too stupid to make their own decision to walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic. Or do you think clinic workers abduct pregnant black women in the dead of night to force abortions on them?

How do you account for the steady decline in abortions in the black community since 1973?

How do you account that their population isn't exponentially growing with the rest of the world's population?
Them planned parenthood clinics are in walking distance to all inner city predominantly black communities while for others they would have to take a plane trip to get near one and probably never seen or heard of one before.

Why yes.... it is a whitewash article but they admit specifically what I posted.

Nice try though.

In reading her papers, it is clear Sanger had bought into the movement. She once wrote that "consequences of breeding from stock lacking human vitality always will give us social problems and perpetuate institutions of charity and crime."

And don't leave out the washington post

At one point, in 1934, she even crafted a proposed law that included this provision: “Feeble-minded persons, habitual congenital criminals, those afflicted with inheritable disease, and others found biologically unfit by authorities qualified judge should be sterilized or, in cases of doubt, should be so isolated as to prevent the perpetuation of their afflictions by breeding.” Sanger said she wanted “to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization,” which some have interpreted as a reference to concentration camps.


Sanger in 1938 appeared to speak positively about the German program undertaken by the Nazis. “Reports in medical journals state that the indications laid down in the German law are being carefully observed. These are gongenital feeble-mindedness; schizophrenia, circular insanity; heredity epilepsy; hereditary chorea (Huntington’s); hereditary blindness or deafness; grave hereditary bodily deformity and chronic alcoholism,” she said. “The rights of the individual could be equally well safeguarded here, but in no case should the rights of society, or which he or she is a member, be disregarded.”

And her fun with the KKK

She writes of the experience on page 366 of her book - Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, published in 1938

I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan … I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses … I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak … In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.

Do you equate Sanger's personal conviction to her birth control movement to the KKK? Birth control was illegal at the time, racism was not.

1838 Condoms and diaphragms made from vulcanized rubber.

1873 The Comstock Act passed in the United States prohibiting advertisements, information, and distribution of birth control and allowing the postal service to confiscate birth control sold through the mail.

1916 Margaret Sanger opens first birth control clinic in the United States.  The next year she was deemed guilty of maintaining a public nuisance and sentenced to jail for 30 days. Once released, she re-opened her clinic and continued to persevere through more arrests and prosecutions.

1938 In a case involving Margaret Sanger, a judge lifted the federal ban on birth control, ending the Comstock era. Diaphragms, also known as womb veils, became a popular method of birth control.

1950 While in her 80s, Sanger underwrote the research necessary to create the first human birth control pill. She raised $150,000 for the project.

1960 The first oral contraceptive, Enovid, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as contraception.

1965 The Supreme Court (in Griswold v. Connecticut) gave married couples the right to use birth control, ruling that it was protected in the Constitution as a right to privacy. However, millions of unmarried women in 26 states were still denied birth control.

Margaret Sanger led the way. The genie is out of the bottle and women will never willingly go back to reproductive oppression. It was a long time coming. But unfortunately, there will always be people threatened by a woman's right to choose, so, we will have to keep on fighting to protect those rights

Margaret Sanger was a saint!

I'd like to see some proof that these black women are being forced to go into a Planned Parenthood clinic.

There are PP clinics in many poor neighborhoods, regardless of race.

a reply to: infolurker

She was talking the same talk as every scientist and scholar in the country at that time.

Her legacy was to empower women to make their own reproductive decisions. She never forced anyone to use birth control. Not once.

a reply to: infolurker

She would talk to any women who would listen to her. She felt that all women, no matter their background or ideology, needed to know what birth control options were available to them. Her talks to women were about making their own reproductive decisions by using birth control as needed, to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Her autobiography never said anything about eradicating the black race because they were inferior. I would believe her own autobiography before I would believe random quotes supposedly attributed to her.

You should read her autobiography from 1938 in its entirety. It's very enlightening and very inspiring.

BWAHAHAHA you think they care if their facts are right?!!

Oh man , I'm sorry...

How embarrassing for you...

Democrat Antifa protestors don't have enough brain cells to determine what statues to go after. Just look at the morons who tried to burn Abraham Lincoln's statue.

They just go wherever the buses take them and do what they are paid to do.

/sigh

Beck is using the same cherry-picked quotes and nonsensical logic he always does.

Planned Parenthood has been a source of affordable health-care for millions of women for decades.

That anyone would twist that based on BS quotes from before WWI is absurd ... though not unexpected.

Sanger lived and worked for women's rights until her death in the 1960s. Fact.

I wonder why you guys never quote anything post 1912? You know, from the last 50 years of her life?

Yeah, I wonder.

MOTHERS! / Can you afford to have a large family? / Do you want any more children? / If not, why do you have them? / DO NOT KILL, / DO NOT TAKE LIFE / BUT PREVENT / Safe, Harmless Information can be obtained of trained nurses at / 46 AMBOY STREET.

She launched a movement which is obeying a higher law to preserve human life under humane conditions. Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, and today we honor her courage and vision; for without them there would have been no beginning. Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her.
