Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists ...

My sister's recent post prompted me to write this:

"The demand that defective people be prevented from propagating equally defective offspring. . . represents the most humane act of mankind."

Adolf Hitler wrote these words in the first volume of Mein Kampf in 1925. However, he was not the only person at the time with a vision for improving the human race through eugenics. Three years before Mein Kampf, a book was published in America titled Pivot of Civilization.

In it, the author wrote, "we prefer the policy of immediate sterilization, of making sure that parenthood is ' absolutely prohibited ' to the feeble-minded." This same author is quoted elsewhere as saying, "The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it." Who could this person be whose views of eugenics lined up so perfectly with those of Adolf Hitler? The answer is Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Of course this connection shouldn't be surprising as Margaret Sanger, in her magazine "The Birth Control Review", ran articles by Dr. Ernst Rudin, the head of Hitler's Medical Experimentation Program.

So, which of these two eugenicists was more successful in fulfilling his/her goals? Let's run the numbers. Hitler managed to kill 6 million Jews and 11 million people from various other despised groups, giving a total of 17 million people murdered due to his ideas. Thanks to Margaret Sanger and the legacy of Planned Parenthood, there have been 55 million abortions in the U.S. since 1967. This means that Sanger's ideas have led to the murder of 324% more people than Hitler's ideas.

And yet, Sanger is lauded as a hero to women everywhere. Did I miss something here?
