  • Abortion's Forgotten Issues
    Abortion’s Forgotten Issues Last January marked the 40th anniversary of the infamous Roe Vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that opened the doors for widespread abortions. That was a long time ago, but the debate still rages on. Pro-abortion advocates talk about the “Reproductive rights of women” while the pro-life side proclaims the importance of the “Right to life.” Those debates are pretty well known and are worth discussing, but I want to put them aside for the moment. There are two other very important abortion issues that have never made it (as far as I know) into the national debate. Those two issues are racism and the effect that abortion has on women. Let’s take them one at a time. It has long been reported that Margaret Sanger (1883-1966), the founder of Planned Parenthood (which has become the largest abortion provider in America) was a racist. She did make some comments that could be taken that way, but her actions leave no doubt. In 1939 she established the “Negro Project” and later the “Population Congress.” Both were supposed to eliminate poverty by keeping the poor from reproducing, and that primarily meant blacks. In her own words Margaret Sanger said, “The main objectives of the Population Congress is to…apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny [children] is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.” Ms. Sanger’s intentions may just appear to be tainted by racism, but there is no question that the actions of Planned Parenthood today are overtly racist.

  • Sex Education and How It Got Into the Schools
    Sex Education and How It Got Into the Schools By Samuel L. Blumenfeld The idea that people needed to be educated about sex probably began with the founding of the birth control movement by Margaret Sanger, who launched a crusade early in the 20th Century to provide women with birth control information. It was Sanger's work as a visiting nurse that turned her interest to sex education and women's health. Influenced by anarchist Emma Goldman, she began to advocate the need for family limitation as a means by which working-class women could liberate themselves from the burden of unwanted pregnancy. In 1914, Sanger published the first issue of The Woman Rebel, which advocated militant feminism and the right to practice birth control. She also wrote a 16-page pamphlet, Family Limitation, which provided explicit instructions on the use of contraceptive methods. In August 1914, Sanger was indicted for violating postal obscenity laws. She jumped bail in October and set sail for England. In England she became acquainted with a number of British radicals, feminists, and neo­ Malthusians whose social and economic theories helped her develop broader scientific and social justifications for birth control. She was also deeply influenced by psychologist Havelock Ellis and his theories on female sexuality and free love. In 1915, Sanger returned to the United States. The government's case against her was dropped. In 1916, she opened the nation's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. After nine days of operation, the clinic was raided, and Sanger and staff were arrested.

  • Planned Parenthood Legitimizes Kinsey's Child
    Liberty University From the SelectedWorks of Judith A. Reisman October 22, 2015 Planned Parenthood Legitimizes Kinsey’s Child Abuse Crimes Judith A. Reisman, PhD Available at: https://works.bepress.com/judith_reisman/8/ Planned Parenthood Legitimizes Kinsey’s Child Abuse Crimes By Judith Gelernter Reisman1 “I have never been more humiliated in all my life,” Catherine said. 'I felt dirty and defiled after seeing the [pornographic] film. But then, when I had to put that thing on Billy's finger--well, that was just awful. It was horrible. It was like I'd been raped. Raped in my mind. Raped by my school. Raped by Planned Parenthood. I think I was--that we all have been--betrayed." George Grant’s Grand Illusions, The Legacy of Planned Parenthood.1 Sex educators have either a mental block -- a strong repression -- or, for some reason, cannot understand that their sex programs are directly responsible for the pregnancies, abortions, perversion, suicides and psychological, as well as, physical venereal diseases that are epidemic in today's youths. They not only deny their accountability, but have the gall to consider themselves the saviors of today's youths and claim they are protecting young people from the teaching, or lack of teaching, of sexually-inhibited parents and outmoded religion. Dr. Marvin Anshell, “A Psychoanalytic Look at Today's Sex Education” 19852 Aiding and Abetting Statutory Rapists First my disclaimer. I was a Planned Parenthood supporter until the 1960s. I agreed with their argument that sex should not be considered “dirty” and that children had sex because it was “forbidden fruit.” Sexual “shame,” seemed to be the cause of “high” rates of “illegitimacy.” Planned Parenthood would teach children scientific words for body parts, (not “wee wee” and “bottom”).
