You have an interesting habit of making up a statement out of your own brain, then attributing it to others, then spending the rest of your time arguing against and criticizing your own words.

Oh, and the letter to the editor you post contains several errors. Sanger in fact did not admire Nazi eugenics and was not concerned with eliminating ‘non-Aryans.’ I deplore the eugenics view she and many had at the time (and btw, would be quite at home in some conservatives writers like say, Charles Murray), but hers was not aligned with the Nazi racial ideas.

The letter also uses the quote “We do not want word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population” but fails to provide the context that she was saying this because she did not believe it to be true.

Oberserve – now here is a question for you.

Henry Ford was a vile anti-semite who published all types of racists tracts in the US, including publishing the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Ford spoke favorably of Hitler and the Nazis. In 1938 the Nazi government gave him the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest honor Germany had for a foreigner. Hitler kept a picture of Ford next to his desk. Ford helped Germany tremendously prior to the US entering the War and it appears from recent historians even after.

Are you concerned with Ford motors history of supporting Nazis?

Now, it is not the state of journalism that is the problem, as far as I can tell no legitimate media outlet actually has suggested that this is the law in Virginia. The problem is you and your unquestionable acceptance of anything that fits your worldview without even bothering to do some independent thought.

I was going to write about what Virginia law actually says, but here is a nice summary from lgf:

Fine. So, she was a “great admirer of the NAZI eugenics movement.”

but did not study there. Is that better?

That said, Brewers connection to Planned Parenthood is dispicable and the connection between Planned Parenthood and the dispicable NAZI-esque eugenics movement is undeniable.

Now, if pro-lifers would care about children being killed in other parts of the world as much as they do here, that would be a little more consistent. Children as ignored or generally-accepted “collateral damage” is unacceptable.

Have nothing to do with them.

Could a banker get away with this? No. They’re “evil” – taking advantage of poor people. Planned Parenthood doesn’t make money off girls who walk out, but somehow they’re for women’s “rights.”

Please stay updated on the story you posted. I am sure you will find that the facts as being relayed are no in fact accurate or the whole story.
…………………
Actually, can agree with that. The deplorably unreliable state of the media today, 4 years of J-school produces reporting that no one can count on makes it not just prudent to wait on “news,” but necessary. Can’t even “trust but verify,” but “verify.”
As we wait, the argument used in the article was still fair game to challenge, for it displayed a grotesteque and either simple ignorant or willfully ignorant mindset.

I would suggest that it is likely that the Nazi’s did look to the US for various eugenics laws, in particular the precedent of the SCOTUS case Buck v. Bell (1927), which is one of the most shameful rulings ever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._Bell

On other aspects of the job, she was lacking, but at least illegal aliens are not able to vote out Republicans.

Long live Brewer!

I think it’s fair and accurate to assert that Sanger corresponded with a prominent leader in the Nazi party who wrote the official policy regarding race and eugenics.

“Three months before the German ‘sterilization law’ was passed, Rudin’s “Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need” article was published in the Birth Control Review“

The photo has been removed. I certainly want my posts to be accurate

The website you refer to in your comment is not the same site where Sonoran Alliance obtained the photo. As you mentioned, it appears that that site conducts an annual artists rendition of Margaret Sanger in a variety of settings in order to present a visual account of what in reality did happen.

Knowing about the photo, we will no longer use it here on Sonoran Alliance even as an illustration of what actually occurred. Thank you for your clarity.

I’m not sure I understand your comment in #35: “Having said that what I find interesting in your statement is she did not in any way study eugenics with the Nazis in Germany.”
