Contrary to what Planned Parenthood would like us to believe, their organization was not founded out of an altruistic concern for women’s health. Rather, it sprang from an unholy blend of toxic self-indulgence, militant atheism, and an enthusiastic embrace of Darwin’s theory of evolution, all wrapped up in one poisonous malcontent named Margaret Sanger.
 
Donald De Marco and Benjamin Wiker profiled Sanger as one of the “Architects of the Culture of Death,” in their 2004 book by the same name. She’s in distinguished company, alongside other such egoists as Marx, Nietzsche, Kinsey and Kevorkian, all of whom rejected a belief in human personhood, and the sanctity of human life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of eleven children born to a Catholic mother, and an overbearing socialist father with an animosity toward organized religion, Sanger came to equate large families with unhappiness and poverty, and thus undesirable. Married to William Sanger in 1902, she soon had three children of her own. By all reports Margaret was an inattentive, distracted mother, frequently leaving the children with anyone she could find while she and William ran off to meetings and parties.
 
Fascinated by the radical ideas of her husband, a social anarchist, and their like-minded friends, Margaret soon became enamored with the concept of free love and the joys of sexual liberty. Now William may have been a radical, but he wasn’t too keen on the idea of open marriage. After his wife had several affairs he divorced her in 1914.
 
Sanger’s other passion was birth control; why deal with the consequences of your own deficit of self-control? (Obama concurs: “Wouldn’t want to be ‘punished’ with a baby!”) Her contempt for social convention and authority of any kind was evident in the slogan she chose for “The Woman Rebel,” a newspaper she began publishing in 1914: “No Gods! No Masters!”
 
 

According to De Marco and Wiker, for Sanger, sex was “the evolutionary force that creates genius:”

…the removal of physiological and psychological inhibitions and restraints (make) possible the release and channeling of the primordial inner energies of man into full and divine expression.

 
She deliberately set out to destroy the teachings of the “so-called Christian communities” regarding chastity and sexual fidelity, and to create a “sexual Utopia” here on earth;

We must teach men the overwhelming power of this radiant force… Through sex, mankind may attain the great spiritual illumination which will transform the world, which will light up as the only path to an earthly paradise.

 
Rejecting Christianity and its tenets of sympathy, piety and compassion, Sanger preached a new religion of sexual liberation.
 
Although Planned Parenthood would like to claim collective amnesia, their founder was also a big proponent of eugenics. Adapting Darwin’s theory of evolution to suit her purposes Sanger promoted birth control “to create a race of thoroughbreds.”

…the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.

 
Sterilization was Sanger’s preferred method of treating “the ever-increasing problem of feeble-mindedness.” To promote her radical ideas, she founded the National Birth Control League in the 1920’s which, after several name changes became, in 1942, Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
 
Sanger died in 1966 at the age of 86 – drunk, depressed and alone. So much for her twisted vision of an “earthly paradise.”
 
Margaret Sanger’s morbid legacy, her dream of a “sexual Utopia,” has helped create a sub-“Culture of Death” in western societies. Today, as De Marco and Wiker report;

True to Sanger’s credo that women should have “The Right to Destroy,” Planned Parenthood is now the world’s largest provider of abortions.

 
Almost a century after “The Women Rebel” began her crusade for promiscuity, Planned Parenthood collects $300 million in taxpayer funds annually. How much longer must we continue to fund an organization aimed at destroying the very society that provides those funds?
