How ironic. The progressives who denounced Richard
Spencer – the white organizer of the protest in Charlottesville – are proponents
of the very thing Spencer is most enthusiastic about, i.e. reducing the number
of black people in the United States. Of
course, I’m referring to Margaret Sanger – the founder of the abortion-loving
Planned Parenthood (PP).
The racist, eugenicist roots of PP are
well-documented, as is the paranoid racial and eugenic visions of its founder,
Margaret Sanger, who spoke of her desire to create “a new race with a racial soul”
in the United States. She once
cheerfully spoke before a women’s Klan meeting, desiring to “keep the doors of
immigration closed” to those “whose condition is known to be detrimental to the
stamina of the race.” Sanger yearned to
accentuate “the better racial elements in our society” so as to erase from the
population “defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of
the finest flowers of American civilization.”
Of course, the progressive Left tends
to downplay the unpleasant historical realities, dismissing them as products of
the time rather than a guiding principle of PP as it stands today. You will not likely find anyone at PP who will
speak as plainly as did Sanger about discouraging the reproduction of “mentally
and physically defective” individuals. But
the institution nevertheless fights like hell for the right to exterminate babies
solely because of their mental and physical defects. Yet, around 941 black babies are aborted in
this country every day, of which PP is responsible for 329 of those daily
deaths. That averages out to a little
more than 120,000 black abortions at PP per year from a demographic that makes
up about 13% of the United States population.
According to the Guttmacher Institute,
black women get abortions at five times the rate of white women.
If you were a white supremacist who
wanted to sharply reduce the black population to make way for more whites, what
would you be doing differently than PP? Nothing!
In the end, the goals of Spencer
strikingly line up with Sanger. Both are
overtly and self-admittedly concerned with organizing human society along
carefully curated and aggressively restrictive lines – abortive “family
planning” for the one, and paranoid racial segregation for the other. Both see the value of the human person strictly
as a matter of superficial considerations. Sanger pro-choicers judge your moral worth by
your biological and physiological development; while Spencer white supremacists
judge your moral worth by the color of your skin. I do not suppose the average pro-choicer is
comfortable being associated with the policy views of a white nationalist; but
if your political movement is predicated on the idea that it should be legal to
kill babies, I guess you really don’t get to be all that choosy.
In the words of Daniel Payne, senior
contributor at the Federalist, “If we are going to tear down white supremacy,
start with Planned Parenthood.”
