Quotes from Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger


While advocating for the American Baby Code, she argued that marriage licenses should provide couples with the right to only “a common household” but not parenthood. In fact, couples should have to obtain a permit to become parents:

Article 3. A marriage license shall in itself give husband and wife only the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood.

Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a , and no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit for parenthood.

Article 5. Permits for parenthood shall be issued upon application by city, county, or state authorities to married couples, providing they are financially able to support the expected , have the qualifications needed for proper rearing of the , have no transmissible diseases, and, on the woman’s part, no medical indication that maternity is likely to result in death or permanent injury to health.

Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth.

“All that sounds highly revolutionary, and it might be impossible to put the scheme into practice,” Sanger wrote.

She added: “What is social planning without a quota?” —“America Needs a Code for Babies,” March 27, 1934, Margaret Sanger Papers, Library of Congress, 128:0312B

Having children is about the only thing that you don't need a license for.

In some cases, I think that she has a point. At least the parents should have to take some parenting courses!

Wasn't this in about the 1920's or so?? Times have changed a lot since then, eh!!

Just a thought.....A basic poverty line means test wouldn't hurt, so that the 'village' wasn't raising all these kids.
