[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would that be eugenics?[/quote]

Eugenics was the science/belief in creating the "healthiest" humans possible, healthy babies support healthy families that support healthy society. The movement also believed that most of society's ills (lawlessness, alcoholism, disabilities, mental disorders, inability to keep jobs, being poor) were inheritable traits and ran in families. So if you prevent those families from reproducing, there will be less of those traits being inherited and less people with those traits, and therefore the rate of alcoholism will go down, poverty will decrease, crime will go down, etc., by fact of those with the undesirable traits being unable to pass the traits along because they aren't having children.

Sanger wanted birth control in the hands of poor people, not because she was a huge believer in women taking control of their own healthcare and reproductive health, but because she believed in the eugenic theory of a stronger society will occur if the poor people stop having poor babies who will then turn into poor adults.

Sangers's views on birth control are not a secret or her views on eugenics.

LOL I know what eugenics is. How does providing all people with birth control that they can or cannot take willingly qualify as eugenics. Don’t we supply free condoms, etc to people? How is this different?[/quote]
