Second, have Congress set up a special department for the study of population problems and appoint a Parliament of Population, the directors representing the various branches of science: this body to direct and control the population through birth rates and immigration, and to direct its distribution over the country according to national needs consistent with taste, fitness and interest of individuals. The main objects of the Population Congress would be:
a. to raise the level and increase the general intelligence of population.
b. to increase the population slowly by keeping the birth rate at its present level of fifteen per thousand, decreasing the death rate below its present mark of 11 per thousand.
c. to keep the doors of immigration closed to the entrance of certain aliens whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race, such as feebleminded, idiots, morons, insane, syphilitic, epileptic, criminal, professional prostitutes, and others in this class barred by the immigration laws of 1924.
d. to apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.
e. to insure the country against future burdens of maintenance for numerous offspring as may be born of feebleminded parents, by pensioning all persons with transmissible disease who voluntarily consent to sterilization.
f. to give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.
g. to apportion farm lands and homesteads for these segregated persons where they would be taught to work under competent instructors for the period of their entire lives.
The first step would thus be to control the intake and output of morons, mental defectives, epileptics.
The second step would be to take an inventory of the secondary group such as illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope-fiends; classify them in special departments under government medical protection, and segregate them on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct.
Having corralled this enormous part of our population and placed it on a basis of health instead of punishment, it is safe to say that fifteen or twenty millions of our population would then be organized into soldiers of defense---defending the unborn against their own disabilities.
The third step would be to give special attention to the mothers' health, to see that women who are suffering from tuberculosis, heart or kidney disease, toxic goitre, gonorrhea, or any disease where the condition of pregnancy disturbs their health are placed under public health nurses to instruct them in practical, scientific methods of contraception in order to safeguard their lives---thus reducing maternal mortality.
The above steps may seem to place emphasis on a health program instead of on tariffs, moratoriums and debts, but I believe that national health is the first essential factor in any program for universal peace.
With the future citizen safeguarded from hereditary taints, with five million mental and moral degenerates segregated, with ten million women and ten million children receiving adequate care, we could then turn our attention to the basic needs for international peace.
There would then be a definite effort to make population increase slowly and at a specified rate, in order to accommodate and adjust increasing numbers to the best social and economic system.
In the meantime we should organize and join an International League of Low Birth Rate Nations to secure and maintain World Peace.
Summary of address before the New History Society, January 17th, New York City
"The demand that defective people be prevented from propagating equally defective offspring....represents the most humane act of mankind."
"....we prefer the policy of immediate sterilization, of making sure that parenthood is 'absolutely prohibited' to the feeble-minded."
The question now is who exactly is "feeble-minded"? Who fits in the category of "defective offspring"?
It was recorded (and depicted in film as well), that women in the concentration camps would cut themselves and rub the blood on their cheeks to appear healthy. By appearing "healthy" they could possibly escape execution when they were paraded in front of the Nazi officials.
What would it take for us to hide our flaws? Some of our "imperfections" are subtle, others are evident. I posted a while back about suffering from the terrible and most offensive malady of an in-grown toenail...worthy of receiving execution. After all, to some people in this world, it would be most humane to put me out of my misery. It might even be the most humane act to not allow me to bear children.
To those who know me and love me, thank you for humoring me. :) Still, is it really so silly? Suffering is so subjective. Flaws and imperfections are also subjective. One man's suffering is another man's joy and gratefulness. To Gianna Jessen, cerebral palsy, is a gift. Reflections of a Paralytic
I chose this particular blog template with the dandelions. When I set out to start this pro-life blog (at my daughter's behest), this background caught my eye. Ah! WEEDS! After all, I AM a defective offspring. I am one of those "weeds" who would be considered "unfit" and a "bad strain". According to Adolph Hitler, Margaret Sanger and all of their buddies who cozily comingled, I would have been one of those souls rubbing blood on my cheeks to look healthy. If not in a German camp, I would have been deemed "dysgenic" and separated for sterilization and some sort of work detail.
No, I am truly not being melodramatic. What are YOUR flaws and imperfections? Does it matter what you think those flaws are? I am pretty happy with my life, defects and all. By the way, this young man was pretty happy with his life too.
Nothing has changed from the era of WWII and the mentality like Hitler's. A young mother who was pregnant, was taken off life support recently. One of the excuses was they "thought" the baby might have been "deformed" (or in Hitler/Sanger parlance, "defective"). The language used to describe the mother was very much like a Sangerism phrase, which was "an incubator". The people involved no longer saw this woman as a human being anymore but just a warm body in a hospital bed.
In this day and age, we are still subject to the Hitler mentality. If we are deemed to have any value, we must abide by a narrow criteria by a certain group of other humans. Sadly, even many self-proclaimed Christians have fallen into this worldview as well. "Thanks" to a lifelong diet of secular humanism, God is no longer considered a decision maker of our value. The comments about those "brain dead" pregnant women and "vegetables" at the bottom of online articles are not all from atheists.
The "Plan for Peace" comes form Margaret Sanger, creator of The Birth Control League. The Birth Control League later became Planned Parenthood. The two quotes above came from Adolph Hitler (in Mein Kampf, Vol.1 Ch. 10) and Margaret Sanger (The Pivot of Civilization, p. 102) respectively.
When I hear the name or see a picture of Adolph Hitler, immediately I think of Margaret Sanger who is pretty much the female and American version of Hitler. Certainly, their legacies and worldviews are with us today. Every time I pass by a Planned Parenthood (which is on my way to the cpc), I immediately think of it as a modern-day gas chamber or a KKK headquarters.
From the blog "Priests for Life":
In a June 2009 documentary -- “Maafa 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America” -- Alveda King links Planned Parenthood to the eugenics movement of population control.
“We need to remember that over 60 years ago, a man who would today be called the father of modern eugenics proposed that population-control clinics be concentrated in minority neighborhoods, and now today, the vast majority of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in our neighborhoods,” she said in the documentary. “Are we really so naïve to believe this is all a coincidence?”
"According to Alveda King, in the 1960s, at the same time African-Americans began to stage protests and demonstrations for civil rights, “there began a widespread cry from inside government for legalized abortion.”
She asked: “Was that coincidence too, or could it be that when we said we would no longer sit on the back of the bus, a place was being reserved for us down at the abortion clinic?”
Black Genocide has an extensive history of Planned Parenthood's origins. Check it out when you can if you never have before. Also, check out Maafa 21. It is an extremely detailed and thorough documentary on eugenics and Planned Parenthood's practices then to present day.
I did not know any of this growing up. There is a Margaret Sanger award given every year. This year it was Nancy Pelosi but Hillary Clinton has also been a recipient. They laud Margaret Sanger. There might have been a time in my life where I would have done so also. THIS dandelion would have drunk the Roundup. For a time, I did "drink it".
BUT......God saved me! :)
Psalm 119:73-74
Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
Do not be fooled by those weeds on this page. Sanger and Hitler might have thought of me as a "useless eater" or a "weed", but they were liars and I know better.
God made me and fashioned me and this Psalm is who He is and that is all that matters!!!! The length of it is WORTH IT!
Psalm 104
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great:
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
4 Who makes His angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
4 Who makes His angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.
5 You who laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
8 They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
That they may not return to cover the earth.
So that it should not be moved forever,
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
8 They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
That they may not return to cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
They flow among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth food from the earth,
15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face shine,
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high hills are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.[a]
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth food from the earth,
15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face shine,
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons;
The sun knows its going down.
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they gather together
And lie down in their dens.
23 Man goes out to his work
And to his labor until the evening.
The sun knows its going down.

24 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your possessions—
25 This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
26 There the ships sail about;
There is that Leviathan
Which You have made to play there.
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your possessions—
25 This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
26 There the ships sail about;
There is that Leviathan
Which You have made to play there.
27 These all wait for You,
That You may give them their food in due season.
28 What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;
You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.
That You may give them their food in due season.
28 What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;

And You renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
May the Lord rejoice in His works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the hills, and they smoke.
May the Lord rejoice in His works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the hills, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 May my meditation be sweet to Him;
I will be glad in the Lord.
35 May sinners be consumed from the earth,
And the wicked be no more.
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 May my meditation be sweet to Him;
I will be glad in the Lord.
35 May sinners be consumed from the earth,
And the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
