Much information
about Margaret Sanger has been glossed over and tainted by the liberal press. Even the
text books used in schools do not give an accurate view of Margaret Sanger's life.
Margaret Sanger is a most unfortunate woman. there is some uncertainty about her birth
year. Margaret Sanger was perhaps born in 1879. Sometime later she later claimed she was
born in 1883. She was born Margaret Higgins in Corning, Nework, on September 14. She was
was one of eleven children with an oppressive, atheist father who denied Margaret's mother
the right to attend church. Sanger escaped the prison atmosphere of her childhood home and
started nurses training at at the White Plains Hospital and the Manhattan Eye and Ear
Clinic. Self-discipline was not one of her strong suits and she dropped out of school. She
never finished nurses training but she did however, continue to claim that she was a
nurse.
Margaret Sanger founded the National Birth Control League in 1914, and helped to make
birth control a talked about subject. In 1921, Margaret Sanger organized and was the first
president of The Planned Parenthood Federation of America. It started in New York City,
where it's headquarters are now located. Her reasons for supporting birth control were not
altruistic as one might have been led to believe. Repeatedly, Sanger vaunted the glories
of sex as the golden path to paradise. All her life, Sanger seemed distressed by the idea
that men could engage in sexual promiscuity freely, without worrying about becoming
pregnant; whereas woman were forced to take precautions and exercise sexual restraint
because of the risk of pregnancy.
Sanger's sexual exploits were the talk of the intellectualoids of the day. She passed
herself around to men like a party favor. The infamous ''Wantley Circle,'' a coitre of
sexual libertines and perverts viewed her as ''love incarnate.'' She married William
Sanger in 1900. Although she later divorced him she kept the last name by which she had
become well known, even after she remarried in 1922.
Sexual freedom was not her only interest in birth control. Sanger's racial-elitist
tendencies were clear as well. She was deeply motivated to eliminate ''inferior classes,''
even if it meant ''possibly drastic and Spartan methods...forced upon American society.''
She called for the government to issue permits for parenthood. Sanger's depopulation
targets included Semites, Latinos, blacks, and others who were deemed ''unfit'' by
pauperism (poverty), insanity, or even epilepsy. She despised charity works among the poor
because they helped minority classes survive when she felt they should perish. She was a
member and supporter of the Nazi party and saw birth control as a means to produce a
superior race.
Sanger's striving for happiness through sex never brought her the paradise she sought.
This confused woman rambled from socialism to Rosecrucianism to racism to astrology.
Touting "freedom" she ended her life as a drug addict and alcoholic. She died on
September 6, 1966, in Tucson, Arizona.
