"Margaret Sanger’s life was a tapestry". I fully agree. She had good ideas; she had bad ideas.

Isn’t this the woman who created Planned Parenthood with the idea to put them in mostly black poor neighborhoods to NOT HELP them , but for them to abort because she believed blacks were inferior?

Thank you for the comment. Today we know PP does seem to have a focus on the demographic you mention. With the documentation I have, it does not give a sense of disaproprite building of facilites when Sanger was alive thus my presentation as given. I would be delighted share more doucumentation in that regard.

Share what you have. I am enthusiastic to learn as no one can have too much knowledge.

As we’ve allowed generations of self righteous, arrogant, elites to brainwash ourselves and our offspring, we have created a society of Godless people who’ve abandoned the family unit, the Golden Rule, a moral compass and disregard for our own uniqueness and diversity. We seem to be pivoting on making everyone the same, which would not only be boring, but kill the concept that our differences are what make the world go round.

What I really meant (sorry) is that if I find more would share it. Nevethess, you have convinced me to spend more time reviewing her autobiography.

Sounds like you have a lot of viewers appreciating the information you are supplying. So…keep it up.

We need more people willing to do the research putting in the immense time, and print the truth.

I read a blog where someone stated it was easy to “get the truth” on the internet. I found that a bit naive as one usually gets 20+ hits from MSNBC, CNN, NBC, BBC and the like, and then you have to try and find more pages. Sometimes I have to put really nasty things in my question just to get something other than mainstream. Then there’s always the Fakecheckers who are pundits of the mainstream.

When I watch documentaries, I try to find at least 5 of the same subject. If I see like material in all, I figure that information is true. Never has it been so difficult to get to the truth. Even when people confess to their lies, it’s not shown by the mainstream. This those that don’t research and try for different points of fews are still in the dark about what’s real or not.

Is it possible that Sanger picked the anarchist elements that matched her own sex obsession; and simply expanded on the theme in order to get more of the hedonistic life she wanted? She showed traits of the "born without empathy capability" people.

At her core, Sanger was a racist as well...

Birth and fertility rates in the United States have reportedly plummeted to the lowest levels since they have been recorded. Per Axios: “U.S. fertility rate in 2023 amounted to about 1.62 births per woman — well below the ‘replacement rate’ of 2.1 that would allow a generation to completely replace itself.” City Journal’s Steven Malanga pointed out: “[T]he states with the highest birthrates are overwhelmingly Republican, and those with the lowest are disproportionately Democratic.”

it looks like the Sanger people are voting: "we have had enough of ourselves"

An in-depth look at one of the great mass murderers in history. Excellent job. Think about it. If not for Sanger and her eugenics cohorts here in the United States, inspiring educating and funding German doctors, the Holocaust might never have happened!

"There is today one state, in which at least weak beginnings toward a better conception [of immigration] are noticeable. Of course, it is not our model German Republic, but the United States." - Adolph Hitler from his book “Mein Kampf” published in 1924, regarding the American Eugenics Movement

Thanks, and indeed on your salient observation!

Great work Fred. I agree that evidence does not indicate Sanger supported racism, however, the strategy of placing Planned Parenthood clinics in low-income areas indicates they emphasize who they want to ensure has easy access to birth control and abortions. I am posting an article today on some thoughts on abortion and it always seems supporters do not want to say the quiet part out loud which is abortion is murder. Bill Maher recently admitted it and I wish more people would just be honest - perhaps I would have more support for their views if they would call it for what it is. Planned Parenthood in low income areas is kind of the same thing. There is a reason they are there and it has to do with Eugenics and the views Sanger was very open about. Today they use other fancy terms so they can lie about their true motivations. Just tell us the truth.

Thank you and your comments are spot on.

Very well detailed life outline of an otherwise sociopathic and conflicted woman of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was lost and misled many.

Outside of a full book biography Mr. Smith, you have made her life actually somewhat fascinating.

Much thanks.

Dear Frederick,

I prefer subscribers. Followers I get all the time. Too easy, eh?

No, I don't see her that way. It is very very difficult to make the right choices in life. She got some things wrong and other things right. Creative persons are good not bad

If you don't want to see brothers and sisters having children, congratulations, you are a eugenicist. Ancient taboos about cousin marriage and Christian monogamy etc have had profound impact on our genetics, including our intelligence, at the species level.

Kudos for discernment regarding her racial views. Margaret Sanger said that she wanted "all races to thrive," and her concern for large immigrant families was held up by statistics that were available at the time. Survival rates for ninth children and beyond were absolutely abysmal, as low as 25 percent. The charge of racism does not stick.

Her feminism clearly suffered from excesses characteristic of the first wave of the sexual revolution. Polyamory is avowedly feminist and also makes for a lot of unhappy women, somehow. History rhymes. You may underappreciate the influence of late 19th and early 20th century American theosophical religion, here, however. When Sanger says "the removal of physiological and psychological inhibitions and constraints which makes possible the release and the channeling of the primordial inner energies of man into full and divine expression," read it in the Hermetic tradition. Universalizing and utopian ideologies of the period are imbued with this same stuff. I find it everywhere. It's present in "Queer Theory," for example, and the transgender phenomenon.

Which, by the way, I expect you will live long enough to see Planned Parenthood destroyed. Not because of Sanger or abortion, but because they defrauded Medicaid to give children sex lobotomies. The Missouri attorney general is already on the case.

What do we do with a modern day Margaret Sanger? I shudder to think of the damage such a creature could do to our culture and the contribution to the 4th Reich.

Edwin,

Sanger would be a much easier proposition to deal with today, than the Sangerists (read her decuples) that number in the tens of thousands in our modern day. These Sangerists - in all their forms - hold seats in government, global finances, academia, religious organizations and systems, healthcare, media, and plutocratic corporate moguls.

They are thousands of times worse and more destructive to our individual and collective societies and cultures, than the architype ever was. We have billionaires, politicians, bureaucrats and elites pushing and implementing unlegislated and therefore unchecked soft pogroms to cull the undesirables- whether that status is based on race, ethnicity, ideology, class, or even something as simple as the "quantities of all who are not them".

This paragraph about another radical. destructive figure who was cast in the role of "martyr/prophet" by his followers, better explains what I am saying. Replace the name "Nechaev" with Sanger.

"Finally, one interesting issue that arises here is the difference between being a

Nechaev and being a Nechaevist; namely, between being the one who sets the bloody

example and the one who follows it having idolized the martyr/prophet who dedicated his

life to the cause, the latter becoming, very often, much bloodier and fiercer than the former

in his struggle to live up to the glorified ideological heritage he has become part of.

Following Nechaev makes someone not another Nechaev but a disciple of him; someone

who could adapt what Nechaev thought to the context in which he lives in so as to maximize

the utility of the means needed for the destruction of the “filthy order”.

Our world today is administrated, officiated and ruled by all manner of Sangerists and so we should all shudder.

Margret Sanger truly belonged to the streets. Sounds like a very unpleasant woman to be around.

Here is an important video, done in 1991 or thereabouts, where three traditional Catholic priests discuss abortion from the old traditional teaching of the Church. This older set of videos ideos originally aired on local public access TV, and I believe on the BET TV network, and were uploaded to YouTube in 2014.

Thank you for your excellent work, Frederick. Margaret Sanger is a great example of an intelligent, conflicted, and amoral creature. Planned Parenthood and the 3rd Reich are good examples of Unintended Consequences.
