If that ain't eugenics, what is eugenics?

"weak and stupid"?? that's how you interpert "mentally and physically defective"?? wow, THAT's unique.
that book was penned in the 1920s. the campaign to provide sex education and contraceptives predates the book by decades, when sanger (and her husband) wrote many pieces on sex education and contraception that had NOTHING to do with eugenics or selective reproduction.
Planned Parenthood grew out of the women's rights movement. the fact that there were eugenic supporters involved does not make planned parenthood a part of the eugenics movement. some kkk supporters may have been involved, and that doesn't make it racist either. for all we know some socialist or fascists were there too, do they make it socialist or fascist too? there may have been some anti-semites there, does that mean that planned parenthood "grew out" of anti-semitism?
no, it doesn't.
