Eugenics has been the driving force behind abortion for over 100 years. The purpose of birth control is "to create a race of thoroughbreds," Margaret Sanger Founder of Planned Parenthood Nov. 1921. "More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control."
Margaret Sanger. Democratic Party eugenics also has a strong racial component. "We do not want word to go out that we want to ext**minat* the N[Black] population," she said, "if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Margaret Sanger. The attitudes of Sanger were not a one-off. In 2009 SCOTUS Justice Ginsburg wrote: “I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” Ginsburg never identified who comprised the "populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” However comparing the positions which Sanger and Ginsburg espoused makes it clear which population they referred to.
