In 1938, just a few years prior to the American Birth Control League (ABCL) changing its name to Planned Parenthood, which today is the largest abortion provider in the nation, a group of American Eugenics Society Members and members of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL) formed the National Society for the Legalization of Euthanasia.
Heading this pro-euthanasia panel was a man by the name of Charles F. Potter who, in 1938 was also on the ABCL Committee for Planned Parenthood according to a February 1938, New York Times story.
Also on this board was Sidney Goldstein who sat on the American Birth Control League's National Council and later was on Planned Parenthood's Board of Directors.
ABCL Citizen's Committee for Planned Parenthood member, Dr. Foster Kennedy, was also on the panel.
American Eugenics Society Member, Clarence Cook Little was the President of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), at the same time he was on this pro-euthanasia panel.
Clarence Little was the president of the University of Michigan, a founding member of The American Eugenics Society, and a board member of the American Birth Control League which would later be known as Planned Parenthood. (Watch Maafa21)
MARGARET SANGER AND EUTHANASIA
It is unclear why Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger was not listed on the above article because Sanger was clearly involved in the Euthanasia Society. Sanger was a member of the American Eugenics Society and many of their members were on this panel. Sanger admitted that she gave a speech to the Klu Klu Klan and in her autobiography, she bragged that she received a dozen invites from the Klan for further speeches. By 1952, Margaret Sanger was open about her belief in Euthanasia.
This 1952 letter from the Euthanasia Society of America clearly shows Margret Sanger on the American Advisory Board of the Euthanasia Society of America
Also on the list is Samuel H Holmes. According to the film, Maafa21, in a 1929 speech, American eugenicist Samuel Holmes had proposed that mandatory birth control should be used as a tool to eliminate what he called the menace to the white race that had been created by increases in black population. His solution was to have a quota system in which the right to have a child would be controlled by the government and determined by race. At the time, Holmes was on the National Council of the American Birth Control League which would later become known as Planned Parenthood.
Frank L, Babbott is listed as a Vice President of this Euthanasia Society. Babbott was a founding member of the American Eugenics Society.
Frank H. Hankins is listed on the Board of Director his associations are listed above.
Charles Francis Potter was founder of the Humanist Society and in 1924 Margaret Sanger wrote an Introduction for Charles Francis Potter. Potter was active in the Rhode Island Maternal Health Association, which he served as medical director, as well as Planned Parenthood. He was a member of the American, Rhode Island, and Providence medical societies.
In 1967, Dr. Potter was awarded the Margaret Sanger Medal by Planned Parenthood for outstanding service to family planning, after he served 11 years as medical director of its clinic.President of the Euthanasia Society was Mrs. F Robertson Jones who was also on Margaret Sanger's ABCL board. We would later discover that RL Dickinson was President of the Euthanasia Society and Senior VP of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
In 1964, Evelyn Ames co-founded
the Planned Parenthood Association of Nashville. She served as the
organization's southeastern representative for nine southern states, and
on the executive committee of the national board of directors of
Planned Parenthood-World Population. She was also a founder and member
of the board of the Nashville chapter of Concern for Dying, an advocacy
group for the right to die. Ames Davis died in 1993.
Esther Instebo delivered donations and filled fundraiser tables for Planned Parenthood and Washington politicians. Instebo pulled her friends into Democratic Party politics. Instebo worked with the euthanasia organization Compassion & Choices to qualify for help in dying under the state's Death with Dignity law. Knowing that she had that option greatly improved the quality of the last six months of her life because she knew she wouldn't have to put up with what she was afraid of.
According
to researcher, Rita Dillar, when Compassion & Choices, formerly The
Hemlock Society, convened its June 2012 conference, former Planned
Parenthood insider Theresa Connor was
a featured speaker. She was public policy director for Planned
Parenthood in Washington state for 15 years and instituted the research
and strategy behind the 2001 Erickson v. Bartell case that required employers/ insurance plans to cover prescription birth control under anti-discrimination laws.
It
is interesting how Margaret Sanger, founded in Eugenics, the American
Eugenics Society, and members of the Planned Parenthood all helped
establish euthanasia and so-called mercy-killing ideologies in America.
The purveyors of death have taken their fanaticism all the way from
conception to end of life and no one is outside their bloody grips.
{British royal family physician Dr. Horder oversaw the entire Nazi medical program, and was president of the British Eugenics Society from 1935 - 1950s, and president of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society. The U.S. branch was called the American Eugenics Society. In 1938 a group of American Eugenics Society Members and members of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL) formed the National Society for the Legalization of Euthanasia: http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/02/just-discovered-letter-shows-margaret-sanger-was-part-of-euthanasia-society/. In 1952 the American Eugenics Society merged with the Rockefeller Population Council. This Eugenics/Population Council awarded a grant in 1968 to Daniel Callahan (with ex-Communist behavioral psychiatrist Willard Gaylin) to found the first bioethics Hastings Center in 1969. Callahan worked also with the Population Council, and was on the board of directors of the American Eugenics Society from 1987 - 1993. Leading bioethics fellows included Peter Singer, and Ezekiel Emanuel (Obama's administration)
A major funder of the new bioethics Hastings Center was Monsanto [http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/topic/excellence_in_philanthropy/philanthropys_brave_new_world]. Another organization birthed out of the American Eugenics Society was Planned Parenthood, headed by William Gates, father of Bill Gates. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation currently funds the use of midwives in Indonesia to improve access to family planning. [http://www.impatientoptimists.org/Posts/2014/01/Midwives-Critical-Players-in-Delivering-Family-Planning-in-Indonesia], as do WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, and the World Bank [http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2007/9241545879_eng.pdf] -- and the Population Council [http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/population-control-advocates-plan-to-expand-abortion-through-midwives]. The Population Council works hard to provide 'safe abortions' around the globe [http://www.popcouncil.org/research/safe-abortion-and-postabortion-care].
The Gates Foundation has also long been involved in vaccines, pharmaceuticals, GMOs, reproductive control, weather manipulation, global warming, etc. Bill Gates, purchased 500,000 shares in Monsanto back in 2010 valued at more than $23 million, now has a direct interest in seeing Monsanto succeed in spreading GMOs around the world [http://www.naturalnews.com/035105_Bill_Gates_Monsanto_eugenics.html]. More recently Monsanto is partnering with various synthetic biology pharma organizations [http://www.marketwatch.com/story/cellectis-compact-talentm-the-next-generation-of-tal-effector-nucleases-2013-05-21 - DNI}
