Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood :

"...the greatest sin is to have children, children born into poverty or with a disease."

What the Bible says about (all) children being a blessing.

The Lord knew you before you were born: "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."~ Psalm 139:13-16

"Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) ... an indefatigable proponent of racist eugenics policies that sought to use contraception, **sterilization, and abortion as the means of depopulating those *non-white ethnic groups she deemed to be 'human weeds' " ~ Patrick Madrid

What the Bible says about "Life". The greatest sin is taking life: "Thou shalt do no murder...And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor(all human life) as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." ~ Mark 19:18, 22:37-39.

*2003 CDC statistics: The abortion ratio for black women (491 per 1,000 live births) was 3.0 times the ratio for white women (165 per 1,000), and the ratio for women of the nonhomogeneous "other" race category (347 per 1,000) was 2.1 times the ratio for white women. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."

**Free and in public domain: The Pivot of Civilization By Margaret Sanger:

" when we realize that each feeble-minded person is a potential source of an endless progeny of defect, we prefer the policy of immediate sterilization, of making sure that parenthood is absolutely prohibited to the feeble-minded."

She also discusses the "dangers inherent in the very idea of humanitarianism and altruism." In other words, charity to the poor and feeble-minded is 'sentimental' and an inefficient solution... "Such 'benevolence' is not merely superficial and near-sighted. It conceals a stupid cruelty, because it is not courageous enough to face unpleasant facts. Aside from the question of the unfitness of many women to become mothers, aside from the very definite deterioration in the human stock that such programs would inevitably hasten, we may question its value even to the normal though unfortunate mother."
