Bennett vs. Sanger

Remember Bill Bennett's recent comments about abortion, the black community and crime and the brouhaha that ensued? Bennett, of course, was raked over the coals as a racist and his comments were taken out of context to stoke the fires of black vs. white that the left revels in.

A letter writer to CNSNews.com points out something that many others (including yours truly) missed:

Since Bennett is pro-life, you know he wasn't advocating abortion. His point was obviously about the offensiveness of basing arguments about abortion, which is the murder of innocent children, on mere economics.

[...]

[Planned Parenthood founder Margaret] Sanger was a racist and eugenicist, and an early admirer of Adolf Hitler. Sanger infamously advocated birth control for blacks and other ÔinferiorÕ people, Ôto create a race of thoroughbreds.Õ (ref: The Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921) She located her birth control clinics in minority neighborhoods to reduce the birth rates in those communities.

What a great connection. Click here to see what the left says about Sanger. Click here for the part of the story the left doesn't talk about.

Excuse me while I take a triple dose of Pepto-Bismol.
