* “Today, however, civilization has brought sympathy, pity, tenderness …. We
are now in a state where our charities, our compensation acts, our pensions, hospitals, and even our drainage and sanitary equipment all tend to keep alive the sickly and the weak, who are allowed to propagate and in turn produce a race of degenerates.”—Margaret Sanger, “Birth Control and Women’s Health.” Birth Control Review,December 1917, (vol. I, no. 12); p. 7.
* “Before eugenists and others who are laboring for racial betterment can succeed,they must first clear the way for Birth Control.

The American Baby Code
Margaret Sanger
Article 1. The purpose of the American Baby Code shall be to provide for a better distribution of babies. To assist couples who wish to prevent overproduction of offspring and thus to reduce the burden of charity and taxation for public relief and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit.
Article 2. Birth control clinics shall be permitted to function as services of government health departments or under the support of charity, or as non-profit, self-sustaining agencies subject to inspection and control by public authorities.
Article 3. A marriage license shall in itself give husband and wife only the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood.
Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit for parenthood.
Article 5. Permits for parenthood shall be issued by government authorities to married couples upon application, providing the parents are financially able to support the expected child, have the qualifications needed for proper rearing of the child, have no transmissible diseases, and on the woman’s part no indication that maternity is likely to result in death or permanent injury to health.
Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth.
Article 7. Every county shall be assisted administratively by the states in the effort to maintain a direct ratio between county birth rate and its index of child welfare. When the county records show an unfavorable variation from this ratio the county shall be taxed by the State…. The revenues thus obtained shall be expended by the State within the given county in giving financial support to birth control…..
Article 8. Feeble-minded persons, habitual congenital criminals, those afflicted with inheritable diseases, and others found biologically unfit should be sterilized or in cases of doubt should be isolated as to prevent the perpetuation of their afflictions by breeding.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood (formerly American Birth Control League) was outspoken in promoting her idea of a racially better society. The origin of her public prominence was her launching of The Woman Rebel around the time of separation from her first husband. It was a monthly newsletter encouraging a woman to become “the absolute mistress of her own body”. Being found in violation of the Comstock Laws, she was compelled to flee to Europe to escape conviction. While there, she had an affair with the outspoken socialist H.G. Wells*, though he was married at the time. Wells, however, proved to not be her only love interest as she had an affair with yet another outspoken socialist and eugenics supporter Havelock Ellis**, who at the time was married to an open lesbian.
Sanger returned to the States shortly, more determined to promote her racist and population limiting philosophy by publishing numerous publications on the subject, including articles for the Socialist Party newspaper entitled, The Call. Not limited to socialist publications, in her April 1932 writings in A Plan for Peace, she asserted her objectives, a few of which are listed below:
C: To keep the doors of immigration closed to the entrance of certain aliens whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race, such as feebleminded, idiots, morons, insane, syphilitic, epileptic, criminal, professional prostitutes, and others in this class barred by the immigration laws of 1924.
D: A stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.
F: To give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.
G: To apportion farm lands and homesteads for these segregated persons where they would be taught to work under competent instructors for the period of their entire lives.
She quickly gained enough prominence to establish The American Birth Control League with the assistance of Lathrop Stoddard and C.C. Little. She caught the eye of James Noah H. Lee, an oil tycoon and they were married. Shortly thereafter, through his Bureau of Social Hygiene, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., an avid population control and eugenics advocate, allocated funds for the Clinical Research Bureau, the first legal birth control clinic in the U.S. In fact, Rockefeller himself was neck-deep in promoting eugenics. As such, he funded none other than Ernst Rudin in his search for the eugenically correct population– yes, the same Nazi appointed by Adolf Hitler to direct the Racial Hygiene Society – a society devoted to the sterilization or death of those who were racially impure. During Hitler’s reign, we saw the implementation of such ideas. In the years prior to World War II Margaret Sanger commissioned Rudin to serve as an adviser to her own organization.
The ABCL eventually altered their name to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. in 1942. Assisting the organization through the transition was Prescott Bush, who had developed deep business connections with Rockefeller in the oil industry. Bush served as the Treasurer for Planned Parenthood during their name transition in 1942, and remained with the organization through 1948. Sanger later served as their president from 1952-1959. In promoting her cause internationally, she also helped establish the first World Population Conference (in Geneva).
Planned Parenthood has and continues to serve as a major catalyst in population control and as an effective vehicle for changing the mindset of society from traditional Christian values, which embrace reverence for life, to promoting atheism, selfishness, and racial control, which many adopt under it’s careful disguise of sexual liberation.
In order to cloak the true purpose and history of this organization, Planned Parenthood continues to proliferate propaganda that is blatantly false when having to face truths proclaimed against them. For instance, although Sanger was a founding member of the Eugenics Society of America, Planned Parenthood states:
“Eugenics is the science of improving hereditary qualities by socially controlling human reproduction. Unable to foment popular opposition to Margaret Sanger’s accomplishments and the organization she founded, Sanger’s critics attempt to discredit them by intentionally confusing her views on “fitness” with eugenics, racism, and anti-Semitism. Margaret Sanger was not a racist, an anti-Semite, or a eugenicist.” - Planned Parenthood of Connecticut, Inc. (still online as of March 16, 2007)
Apparently, Planned Parenthood attempts to claim that though she was a founder of the Eugenics Society of America, she was not a eugenicist. In fact, they outright claim she did not promote it, even against a mountain of evidence. Planned Parenthood will predictably continue their deceptive propaganda, which is easily derailed with facts rather than propaganda. The thoughts and ideals of this organization’s founders expose the true agenda for Planned Parenthood.

**Havelock Ellis (socialist, member-The Fellowship of the New Life which directly splintered into the Fabian Society, pioneered autoerotism and narcissism, both later adopted by Sigmund Freud, wrote The Task of Social Hygiene)
“Eventually, it seems evident, a general system, whether private or public, whereby all personal facts, biological and mental, normal and morbid, or duly and systematically registered, must become inevitable if we are to have a real guide as to those persons who are most fit, or most unfit to carry on the race…” -Havelock Ellis
