The first time I heard any mention of Nixon's thoughts on abortion was from Monica Crowley who worked for him after he left office. She said Nixon was very pro choice in that he thought abortion was such a private matter that the govt. had no business being involved in that decision.
I did not realize that he was so prejudiced against blacks. I think you have to come at this understanding the time frame of these comments. Also, PP started out representing as a good place for people. This did not show their ugly side immediately.
Interesting to think about Obama being the target of abortion. His mother was surely a hippie type and he should oppose abortion but he is all about the support they offer. Let us also remember he was raised by an atheist mother.

I can't help it if you ignore the evidence that is right in front of you. The fact is that almost HALF of all African American babies end up being aborted. That is not the case with white babies, and there are more white people. And this was the objective of Margaret Sanger and still is the objective of Planned Parenthood today.
As for your "oh they lived in the times where lots of people believed that so it's okay", that's ridiculous. That doesn't make it okay.
Sorry. And slavery was not the premise of the Declaration of Independance, however, eliminating the poor and minorities was and still is the premise of Planned Parenthood.

Prochoicer, I am glad to hear that you wrote to Planned Parenthood about it. However, I disagree that they were innocent as you seem to believe. Speaking of Lila Rose... what do you think about the fact that time and time again Planned Parenthood has been caught protecting pedophiles? It's happened so many times that even Hal has taken a stand against them and stopped donating to them.
Do you really think it's just an innocent mistake that happens to repeat itself in every single planned parenthood that Lila Rose walks into?

I'm really stunned by this info and by the past Presidents who supported this awful agenda. :(

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."

Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
"Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives."
[no source available at this time...]
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.
Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
"The campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the final aims of eugenics."
Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.
"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."

"The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their support. There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped."

Lauren, 8:23a: You gotta get Maafa 21. I was blown away to learn the black activists of the 60s and early 70s - the Black Panthers, Jesse Jackson, etc. - understood the push for birth control and abortion was all about black genocide. The movie is so well documented. The evidence that black genocide is still today the goal of the abortion/population control industry is irrefutable.
Crutcher brought up a great example. After Katrina the first thing offered to the people was free morning-after pills and abortion. Now imagine had the same catastrophe happened at Martha's Vineyard or La Jolla.

Margaret Sanger also believed infidelity / adultery was okay.
On adultery:
A woman's physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage vow, Sanger believed. Birth Control in America, p. 11
"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)
my dad came from a family of 7 children, specifically the 5th of 7.
My mom came from a family of 7, the 2nd of 7.
If she really was concerned about women's health, then why not fight for better standards of care at hospitals like cleanliness, etc?
