CNSNews carries an excellent analysis of this interview to be published in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is quoted as saying she thought the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion was predicated on the Supreme Court majority’s desire to diminish “populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”
Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, called those she regarded as inferior, “human weeds,” and advocated for the cessation of charity — referring to “medical and nursing facilities for slum mothers as insidiously injurious,” and urged the sterilization of “genetically inferior races.”

The heroine of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, targeted the tenements populated by the poor and others she regarded as undesirables, such as Italians, Blacks and Jews, for her abortion “clinics.“ She was a proponent of what today is called “ethnic cleansing,” in search of a superior race. She was a precursor to Adolph Hitler and later an admirer of his. According to her own writings and film documentation, she addressed the Ku Klux Klan on several occasions. These are the indisputable roots of Planned Parenthood.
Never understood how Sen. and Mrs. Barry Goldwater counted her among their friends. Also how Ms. Sanger was one of the first women inducted into the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame.
This proves that nominees can be very good at hiding their true beliefs, which often shape their rulings, on subjects when questioned during confirmation hearings. This should be a wake up call on Sotomayer who has already been pretty vocal about her racist views. Who knows what other beliefs she holds?
Remember that the Senator and Mrs. Goldwater you are referring to was a very sick elderly gentleman who was challenged with maintaining his faculties and his nurse (nee Mrs. Goldwater) who was always a liberal pro-abort advocate.
John Q:
Although the second Mrs. Goldwater was (and is) an unabashed liberal, it was not Susan (the 2nd) but Peggy (the first) who was a founder of Arizona Planned Parenthood and has the highest award they give named in her honor.
Ask Democrat former AZ Congressman and AZ Planned Parenthood chief, Sam Coppersmith, the name of the award he received. It is the Peggy Goldwater Award.
This should help. It comes directly from the PP website:
The Peggy Goldwater Award is one of Planned Parenthood Arizona’s most prestigious recognition of volunteer leadership. The award is named after its first recipient, Peggy (Mrs. Barry) Goldwater. In 1937, Peggy Goldwater joined Mrs. Dwight Heard and other leading women volunteers to establish the agency. Each year, the Peggy Goldwater Award is awarded during an elegent evening event to a volunteer who has shown extraordinary commitment to the agency’s mission as well as the generosity of their financial support.
So eugenics is alive and well in our U.S. Supreme Court. Adolph would be proud.
