I think you have a bit of disconnect in your logic here, in that you are conflating birth control with abortion. Your logic implies that Sanger believed that darks and dumbs would be more likely to use birth control than, well, not dark and not dumb. The opposite would seem to be the case. If anything, birth control would seem to increase--by proportion--the amount of darkies and dumbies in the gene pool, given that whities and smarties would be more likely to avail themselves of said method.
