Deep down, every modern progressive completely agrees with [Margaret] Sanger. She was the link between Darwin and Hitler. But since eugenics got a bad name after the Nazis, our modern-day progressives have had to peddle the many faces of eugenics with terms like 'liberating' birth control, abortion 'rights', 'merciful' euthanasia, etc, so as not to reveal their true eugenic goals. Yes, eugenics is still espoused, but in euphemisms like 'planned parenthood', that sound wonderfully benign and compassionate.
Gotta save the world from the social ills of poverty, disease, mental infirmity, low IQs... so they'll eliminate hordes of 'unfit', 'unwanted' and irrelevant lives to achieve the goal of heaven on earth. No danger there -- progress at its best.

Or Asshattery.
Or Batshittery.

...or we could just give them all to the 456 next time they come a-calling? *shrug*
Also, as someone who had to euthanize her cancer-stricken and horribly suffering cat last weekend, please accept a hearty FUCK YOU from me as you deny that such a technique could be rooted in mercy.
I feel sick after reading this. What's wrong with you, people? Leave Margaret Sanger, Darwin and bad H-man alone! /almost Godwined

3)Charles Darwin

Obviously, the "modern-day progressives" failed to identify and eliminate you.
Who wants to mate with a drooling moron? Only another drooling moron? Progress has got fuck all to do with it, unless sexual attraction can be seen as a facet of progress in action. Which perhaps it can.
Who doesn't want to save the world from poverty and disease? Only a drooling moron. Mental infirmity can strike anyone at any time, I would have thought. Low IQ's? Well, I guess some people have a low IQ but so what?
None of those things are eugenics, you moron. There's not even any actual goals to those things.
Also, what's wrong with eliminating disease?
"Deep down, every modern progressive completely agrees with [Margaret] Sanger."
I don't actually know who that is. I'm going to assume she's American and as such you assume that everybody would know her.
In what way was Hitler progressive? Eugenics kept on for quite some time, forced sterilizations of slow-witted was done when I was young, it ended the same year I began school, in 1976, here in Sweden.
What's eugenics got to do with planned parenthood? Having two children instead of eight is not eugenics, the genes are still being carried on to the next generation. Waiting to have children until you can take care of them in the way they deserve is not eugenics either. The genes will carry on here too.
Ms Sanger did have some things that I agree with, but the widespread racism of those days I can not agree with. But those were not HER ideas, that was just how society was back then, everyone thought so, more or less. Society has progressed quite a lot since then.
You didn't perhaps even think to as "modern progressives" what their motivation is, did you? I don't suppose it matters; you'd just claim it to be all lies anyway. And how, exactly, is contraception about eugenics at all?
Hey, Margaret Sanger *did* say black people are weeds...
If that's not eugenics then I don't know what is.
Eugenics is easily one of the most flawed concepts in the modern history of mankind. For someone to believe it could work, they would have to have a gross misunderstanding of how genetics actually worked. In sum, only a complete idiot would support eugenics.
And no one I know of agrees with Ms. Sanger. They think she's as batshit crazy as they would the OP if they read what he said here.
Birth control has nothing to do with eugenics. Eugenics is the deliberate breeding of "superior" strains, as one does with dogs or cattle. And birth control certainly has nothing to do with saving the world from the social ills of poverty, disease, mental infirmity and low IQs, since it tends to be practiced mainly by the very people who are not suffering from these ills.
"Deep down, every modern progressive completely agrees with [Margaret] Sanger."
Impressive. Your proof? Did you ask them all, or take a statistical sample? Since you used the words, "deep down", I must assume that either they don't recognize this themselves, or will not admit it. That being the case, can I see the unbiased survey you used to get the responses that led you to this conclusion? Oh wait, you just pulled this all out of your ass, didn't you? Never mind.
What is it with fundies and their rabid opposition to birth control?
Why is it so bad to try and control populations in areas where scant resources are unable to provide for ever growing number of mouths to feed?
Your god is obviously doing nothing.
As to Margaret Sanger being a racist, so fucking what? It does not invalidate the idea of birth control any more than slagging Darwin's reputation invalidates the Theory of Evolution.
You don't even know what eugenics is, do you?
Even if Eugenics is what you described, Eugenics is exactly what God's going to do. Going to destroy all the morally unfit, unwanted, spiritually irrelevant lives so that the chosen can go to Paradise, right?
last I looked, the nazis were the only government I can name that engaged in positive eugenics.
positive eugenics, similar to selective breeding in animals, is designed to create healthy offspring. Hitler built orphanages and hospitals to look after the children and families involved. of course what he considered "master race" was the goal of these places. he never engaged in negative eugenics. he just killed all the people he didn't like. that's genocide, not the same thing.
he was hardly the first or last to do that. a program of negative eugenics would have been different, like chemically castrating anyone with down syndrome.
YOU ARE UNFIT !! YOU ARE MENTALLY INFIRM!! YOU ARE STUPID!!
The world WOULD be a better place without you!
Heaven: this world, without religion. Or you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
