Margaret Sanger, the Soviets, and Democrats: Loving Abortion
by Paul Kengor | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 4/15/11 3:14 PM
*** begin quote ***
“[W]e could well take example from Russia,” advised Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger, “where birth control instruction is part of the regular welfare service of the government.”
My, how far modern liberal Democrats have progressed.
Sanger, Planned Parenthood matron and racial-eugenicist, who ran a “Negro Project,” who spoke to a KKK rally in 1926, who wished to rid America of its “human weeds” and “morons” and “imbeciles,” and who wanted birth control for “race improvement,” had just returned from a pilgrimage to Stalin’s Russia. Like many Potemkin progressives, she went there to soak in the glorious triumphs of the communist motherland. Each progressive dupe had a particular interest; John Dewey, for instance, hailed the Bolsheviks’ “Great Experiment” in public education. Sanger marveled at Lenin’s and Stalin’s wondrous advancements for women.
*** and ***
What struck me in recently re-reading this article is how Democrats in America have arrived at Sanger’s ideal, where Planned Parenthood’s services have become, in their mind, “part of the regular welfare service of the government” — just like good old Stalinist Russia.
Consider the hysterical response by Democrats to completely legitimate Republican attempts — amid record deficits and debt levels — to cut taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood:
“The dangerous, ideological cuts to Planned Parenthood that passed the House are never, never, never going to pass the Senate,” vowed Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), echoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who told House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) that there’s no chance defunding would pass the Senate. Indeed, how could there be? Democrats have a majority there.
*** and ***
It’s preposterous that America has run so far aground that one could even seriously entertain directing taxpayer dollars to America’s largest abortion provider. The “right” to an abortion had to be read into the Constitution, at the total exclusion of sections guaranteeing a right to life, such as the 14th Amendment. Abortion was read into the “right to privacy,” three words which themselves don’t exist in the Constitution. Democrats should praise their stars that they have that much; even then, it isn’t enough. Now they want those of us who are pro-life to fork over our dollars to an organization that exterminates more unborn babies (millions of them) than any other. It’s downright obscene.
The Democratic Party has truly lost it.
It took Democrats a while to get there, but, finally, almost a century after the launching of the Bolshevik Revolution and Margaret Sanger’s organization, they’ve finally arrived at where Sanger and the Soviets found common ground. They indeed act as if, as Sanger said about Stalin’s Russia, “birth control… is part of the regular service of the government.”
The saddest thing of all is that neither they, nor their supporters, nor America, seem to comprehend the outrageousness of their position.

And, it is immoral to have my wealth stolen in the form of taxation, inflation, and debt to pay for something I believe is morally abhorrent.
What is everyone waiting for?
Secession is the only remedy!

So all of us conservative folk are supposed to “secede”? Secede to where? Ain’t no wilderness on either coast that hasn’t been claimed.
Besides, running away won’t solve the issue. But we should speak up more for what we believe in.
Secede from the USA. For example, HI, VT, NH, SC, and TX. Each has a “secession movement”. Add UT with its passage of “gold as money” and ND with the only “state bank” in the 50 states are positioned for departure as well. Like the old Soviet Union, the facade of a “national government” can literally dissolve overnight. Then maybe we can get back to the small government republics that the Dead Old White Guys gave us.
You do realize that it’s illegal to spend ANY Federal money on abortion, and has been since 1978, right? It’s called the Hyde Amendment. None of your tax money goes to pay for abortion, period.
>the Hyde Amendment
This is a wink and a nod to the pro-life Constitutional and moral objection to abortion. And, it’s dead. Do you really think a pro-abortion President is observing the “rules”? And a Chicago politician at that. Or that “his” Justice Department is going to call anyone out on it?
(I’m not seeking to start an argument. Everyone knows I have my hands full responding to Stebbins, Donald M. (MC1961) and he’s relentless.)
I learned at MC in eckeynomics class that money is …
“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110
… “uniform”. So if Planned Parenthood, the nation’s biggest abortion provider, has a budget and SOME of that budget comes from Federal funds, we’re paying for it. Yeah, yeah, I know, they pretend to make a pile over here that’s different from that pile over there. But we all KNOW that’s more smoke and mirrors.
Sorry, I object to any Federal or State involvement in the Culture of Death. It’s abhorrent that I force to support this immoral activity. And, I am ashamed that I am unable to stop it. In a certain sense, I admire the anti-war activists of the Seventies who refused to pay that portion of their taxes that went to pay for the VietNam war. That admiration is tempered with the sure and certain knowledge that the “anti-war movement was political”. That is as long as the D’s are in power, war’s OK. BHO44 starts a war in Libya and no one makes a stink other than Ron Paul.
So yes, I know that there is a Hyde amendment. And, yes, I KNOW it’s meaningless.
But, thanks for giving me an opportunity to vent. And, thanks for participating. It’s nice to know I have at least one reader who gets all the way to the end.
