I Wanted Each Woman To Be A

Birth Control Is The Means By Which Woman Attains Basic Freedom.

Negroes And Southern Europeans Are Mentally Inferior To Native Born Americans.

As An Advocate Of Birth Control I Wish ... To Point Out That The Unbalance Between The Birth Rate Of The 'unfit' And The 'fit,' Admittedly The Greatest Present Menace To Civilization, Can Never Be Rectified By The Inauguration Of A Cradle Competition Between These Two Classes. In This Matter, The Example Of The Inferior Classes, The Fertility Of The Feeble-minded, The Mentally Defective, The Poverty-stricken Classes, Should Not Be Held Up For Emulation.... On The Contrary, The Most Urgent Problem Today Is How To Limit And Discourage The Over-fertility Of The Mentally And Physically Defective.

Usually This Desire [for Family Limitation] Has Been Laid To Economic Pressure It Has Asserted Itself Among The Rich And Among The Poor, Among The Intelligent And The Unintelligent. It Has Been Manifested In Such Horrors As Infanticide, Child Abandonment And Abortion.

Eugenics, Which Had Started Long Before My Time, Had Once Been Defined As Including Free Love And Prevention Of Conception... Recently It Had Cropped Up Again In The Form Of Selective Breeding.
