Eugenics and abortion can’t be separated

[rlvaughn]

Sorry, Planned Parenthood. Eugenics and abortion can’t be separated.

Recently, the head of Planned Parenthood acknowledged the racist and eugenic beliefs of its founder, Margaret Sanger, and stated that the organization is working to undo the damage these views have caused.

I’ve come to see abortion and eugenic thinking as quite intertwined, and what makes me completely disbelieve that Planned Parenthood cares is that we don’t see them lobbying to expose or stop pressured abortions, or notifying the state when underage girls are raped and made pregnant by adult men. Despite purporting to exist for women’s free choice, they make money from women’s abortions, so they are not without incentive. According to the organization's recently released 2019-2020 annual report, although the number of patients seen remained unchanged from the year before, the number of abortions performed actually increased to nearly 355,000.

So consider me unconvinced that Planned Parenthood can undo its founder’s motives to reduce the number of “unfit” people born into the world. Abortion providers have a habit of seeing some lives as more worthy than others – it’s ugly, I know – but it’s kind of their thing.

No doubt. Planned Parenthood was established to suppress the population of undesirables, especially Americans of African descent.

They often operate the clinics in low income communities with large populations of minorities.

If I remember correctly, more than 20 million black babies have been killed in the womb.

Though I don’t believe it’s possible to laugh in hell, I suspect Sanger might manage a smile that Americans of African descent overwhelmingly support a party and a movement established to oppress and destroy them.

peace to you

Well, I was confused over this issue, because one of my unbelieving friends said that a large proportion of fertilized embryos spontaneously abort anyway. Wasn't sure what to make of that.

That is true. The estimate vary from about 25% to 75% of fertilized eggs never implant in the uterus and are flushed out during the woman’s next cycle.

That, of course, had no bearing on deliberately terminating a baby in the womb.

Welcome to the BB. Please put on your full armor of God. You may need it here. The debates get tense at times.

I’m looking forward to seeing a young person’s views.

peace to you

But that kind of suggests that nature is haphazard, capricious and without design or purpose. Or so my friend argues.

Only if you believe “nature” is in charge instead of God.

There is a thread ongoing about what happens to babies that die in infancy.

I believe life begins at conception. I also believe all babies that die in infancy go to heaven, even those conceived but never implanted.

Jesus said in Luke 18:16 to allow babies/children to come to Him for “such is the Kingdom of Heaven”.

I believe heaven is full of those babies and children that died in infancy. Far more than folks that made it to adulthood.

peace to you

Friend says that nature is blind, heartless, without purpose or direction, and spontaneous abortion is just another example of that. Not saying this to be contentious, but sharing the sort of views to which I've been exposed.

Short article about Margaret Sanger includes some quotes from her. It's a counter to those who hold that she was not the woman many claim her to be.

Nature or the nature of God.
Need scripture to help you mold your opinions such as:

Thus saith the Lord
that made thee,
and formed thee
from the womb,
which will help thee...
Isaiah 44:2

I wonder, just how natural is the “nature” we see today, especially our own? What do you think?

And go ahead, be contentious, you'll fit right in here. Believe me. And stand your ground until you get good answers.

Oh, and welcome to the Board.

And get a haircut. (Just kidding. I really couldn't care less about that.)

Do you have any thoughts of your own?
