"The most merciful thing that the large family does..."

In her book Woman and the New Race, Margaret Sanger wrote, "Many, perhaps, will think it idle to go farther in demonstrating the immorality of large families, but since there is still an abundance of proof at hand, it may be offered for the sake of those who find difficulty in adjusting old-fashioned ideas to the facts. The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it" (pp. 62-63)

This comes from an American Life League brochure.

Another example of the sick mentality of the "culture of death". Planned Parenthood has tried to distance itself from these statements by ignoring them. But they have never repudiated them. Instead they continue to hold up Sanger as a hero & role model.

I've often looked at photos of this rather wretched witch and tried to fathom from them what could have been going on in her mind. The look on her face, the expressiveness of the eyes can often be well captured by photography.

Since she died unrepentent there is little doubt that she is now paying the price for her malignant life. How awful her fate must be.

Irish immigrant parents,her mother was the much better Catholic of the two and was sickly. She tried to raise her children as good Catholics.
Not ever there to help the wife her father felt his children were a burden.
Finally Margaret's mother died. Alcoholic father couldn't keep a job and convinced Margaret the death of her mother could have been prevented if she just would have had abortions.Therefore ,the two of them concluded that the Catholic Church caused her mother's death,because the Church didn't allow Catholics to abort . Margaret eventually traveled in privileged circles had evil European drawing room affairs, hobnobbed with the likes of Ayn Rand, and Dewey and other masonic one worlders. I seem to remember she died a horrible death. She was a miserable soul who lived an unhappy miserable life. Planned Parenthood should reveal the truth of her sick deluded unhappy life! But of course that info might not help the organization.

wretched witch . . .

Disagree with her, hate her actions but do not name call. Doesn't feel like something we Catholics should do.

Sanger died of congestive heart failure. Her mother had 18 pregnancies with 11 live births. She died of TB & cervical cancer.
I wonder if Sanger ever thought that if her mother had used birth control &/or have abortions she might never have been born? If she had, it shows how little she valued life, even her own.

>> but do not name call.

There's a difference between name calling and calling it as it is.

Yes and wretched witch is not as it is - it is name calling. Describing the sin - that is calling it as it is.
