On blacks,
immigrants and indigents:
"...human weeds,' 'reckless
breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born."
Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people
On sterilization & racial purification:
Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial
"purification," couples should be rewarded who chose
sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret
Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.
On the right of married couples to bear children:
Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child,
she wrote in her "Plan for Peace." Birth Control Review,
April 1932
On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of
thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov.
1921 (p. 2)
On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial
minorities:
"More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the
chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May
1919, p. 12
On religious convictions regarding sex outside of marriage:
"This book aims to answer the needs expressed in thousands on thousands of letters to me in the solution of marriage problems... Knowledge of sex truths frankly and plainly presented cannot possibly injure healthy, normal, young minds. Concealment, suppression, futile attempts to veil the unveilable - these work injury, as they seldom succeed and only render those who indulge in them ridiculous. For myself, I have full confidence in the cleanliness, the open-mindedness, the promise of the younger generation."
Margaret Sanger, Happiness in Marriage (Bretano's, New York,
1927)
On the extermination of blacks:
"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro

rebellious members." Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social
History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon
On respecting the rights of the mentally ill:
In her "Plan for Peace," Sanger outlined her strategy for
eradication of those she deemed "feebleminded." Among the
steps included in her evil scheme were immigration restrictions;
compulsory sterilization; segregation to a lifetime of farm work; etc. Birth
Control Review, April 1932, p. 107
On adultery:
A woman's physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage
vow, Sanger believed. Birth Control in America, p. 11
On marital sex:
"The marriage bed is the most degenerating influence in the
social order," Sanger said. (p. 23) [Quite the opposite of God's
view on the matter: "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed
undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
(Hebrews 13:4)
On abortion:
"Criminal' abortions arise from a perverted sex relationship under
the stress of economic necessity, and their greatest frequency is among
married women." The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May
1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.
On the YMCA and YWCA:
"...brothels of the Spirit and morgues of Freedom!"), The
Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.
On the Catholic Church's view of contraception:
"...enforce SUBJUGATION by TURNING WOMAN INTO A MERE
INCUBATOR." The Woman
Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.
On motherhood:
"I cannot refrain from saying
that women must come to recognize there is some
function of womanhood
other than being a child-bearing machine." What Every Girl Should
Know, by Margaret Sanger (Max Maisel, Publisher, 1915) [Jesus said: "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep... for your
children. For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall
say, Blessed (happy) are the barren, and the wombs that never bare,
and the breasts which never gave suck." (Luke 23:24)]
"The most merciful thing that a large family does
to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger,
Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)

Her goal in life:
Sanger admitted her entire life's purpose was to promote birth
control. An Autobiography, p. 194

contributed toward the work of the German doctor who developed the IUD. "Ernst Graefenberg and His Ring," Mt. Sinai Journal of
Medicine, July-Aug. 1975, p. 345, in Margaret Sanger: Father of
Modern Society, by Elasah Drogin
Sanger espoused the thinking of eugenicists -- similar to Darwin's
"survival of the fittest" -- but related the concept to human
society, saying the genetic makeup of the poor, and minorities, for
example, was inferior. Pivot of Civilization, by Margaret
Sanger, 1922, p. 80 On mandatory sterilization of the poor:
One of Sanger's greatest influences, sexologist/eugenicist Dr.
Havelock Ellis (with whom she had an affair, leading to her divorce from
her first husband), urged mandatory sterilization of the poor as a
prerequisite to receiving any public aid. The Problem of Race
Regeneration, by Havelock Ellis, p. 65, in Margaret Sanger:

Ellis believed that any sex was acceptable, as long as it hurt no
one. The Sage of Sex, A Life of Havelock Ellis, by Arthur
Calder-Marshall, p. 88
On eradicating 'bad stocks':
The goal of eugenicists is "to prevent the multiplication of bad
stocks," wrote Dr. Ernst Rudin in the April 1933 Birth Control
Review (of which Sanger was editor). Another article exhorted Americans to "restrict the
propagation of those physically, mentally and socially inadequate."
Sanger featured in Life magazine, 1937, "Margaret Sanger
