What do you get when you cut Planned Parenthood funding?

At least you're more entertaining to read than some of the other foofs hereabouts. I'll give you that much.

 

This one's for you Baron. All it takes is a little perspective, and you can celebrate the life of a racist and champion of eugenics;

Sanger’s own legacy is complicated, too, fraught with accusations of racism and a perceived championing of eugenics. Understanding 19th century viewpoints through a 21st century prism requires a generous amount of perspective, of course, and this story is no exception. That an outspoken, sexually liberated woman on a mission would rack up reams of bad press during (and after) her lifetime is less of a surprise than a given, but Jones does an admirable job of laying out and patiently dismantling the accusations leveled against Sanger and of explaining the contemporary social circumstances that birthed them.

 

That Teddy Roosevelt nativist quote is a hoot. Guess we should knock his face off Mt. Rushmore.

Come to think of it. Washington and Jefferson owned slaves. Three-fourths of Mount Rushmore needs to be destroyed.

All it takes is a little perspective and we can celebrate the lives of two racists and one nativist.

 

Cutthroat Margaret Sanger line ...
