Do you think she would be appalled that her own PP is churning out murdered babies on a daily basis?? |
Maybe why she quit the and disassociated herself from the same foundation she built??
Her case for birth control took on an emphasis of
eugenics. She believed that the scientific regulation of
reproduction would prevent the social waste of abortion and
infanticide, and would reduce maternal mortality by preventing
pregnancy among women with tubercular, coronary, or renal
disorders. She also believed that birth control would eliminate
the weakening effects of hereditary afflictions, especially those
caused from venereal disease.
She believed in Birth Control as an answer to a lot of society's ills, including unnecessary abortions.
She used the term eugenics as a way of bettering a person's life, making healthier babies for all races, not eradicating a particular race. Lessening infant mortality by ensuring healtheir babies, lessening mother's dying by ensuring they had healthy pregnancies, and didn't spend 90% of their adult life pregnant.
