Seth Gruber, the founder of The White Rose Resistance, a pro-life nonprofit, refers to abortion as “the linchpin upon which the liberal establishment swings.” Therefore, he decided to prick the conscience of the church — particularly the American church — and galvanize it into action vis-à-vis the genocide of preborn babies. His new documentary with The Daily Wire, “The 1916 Project” (paywalled), is meant to do just that.
“The 1916 Project” does a deep dive into the historical context of the secular humanist revolution that led to the great Woke Revolution. The documentary centers on eugenicist Margaret Sanger and her opening of the first birth control clinic in 1916. He asks some salient questions, namely: How did we get to this “culture of death” that leftists have propped up as their way of life? How did we talk ourselves into the dehumanization of preborn babies? And just who is Margaret Sanger?
In order to understand where Sanger’s ideas originated, we need to go all the way back to Thomas Malthus, a preacher who believed that humanity was on the verge of a population bomb. Sound familiar?
Malthus’s ideas were heavily influential to Charles Darwin, who took the population bomb idea and minimized humans to animals in his theories of evolution. This led to the next step: If humans are animals, then like any other animal, they depend on the survival of the fittest.
It was a distant cousin of Darwin, Francis Galton, who took Darwin’s survival-of-the-fittest idea and transformed it into the fittest killing off the weak and deformed among us. Thus, modern eugenics was born.
This theory led to Havelock Ellis positing that if people were just animals and procreation should be controlled, then the purpose of sex must be for something else. That something else, he proposed, was exploration of the soul. His ideas heavily influenced both Sanger, who was a student and lover of his, and Alfred Kinsey, the materialistic sadist known as the father of the sexual revolution. From Kinsey’s ideas we get all of the Left’s justifications for various sexual perversions, ranging from pedophilia to transgenderism, as well as its notions of feminism, free love, abortion, gender ideology, critical race theory, and climate alarmism. These notions all make up the culture of death.
The ideas that we are fighting against today were borne of eugenics and materialistic gnosticism. And, more importantly, they were borne of the minds of those who wanted no God except themselves. To do that, they had to reduce human beings to animals and preborn babies to not yet a person.
Sanger was, until 2021, considered the patron saint of feminism. She believed that if women were to have “No Gods and No Masters,” their libido needed to be freed (like men’s), and the babies conceived from that freed libido needed to be done away with. (Hello, feminism.) It advanced two agendas — feminism and eugenics — which Sanger’s Planned Parenthood acolytes have always tried to downplay.
Sanger was driven by the idea of creating a “race of Thoroughbreds.” She viewed the existence of ill, insane, disabled, or mentally deficient people as a crime against humanity. She had a particular agenda against black Americans. She also viewed poverty and non-white status as being subhuman. In fact, she opened the first abortion clinic in Brownsville, New York. Why? Because that part of New York City had the highest population of the poor and immigrants (i.e., non-white people). Sanger’s clinic was only open for a few days before she was arrested, but it was long enough for her and her sister to administer hundreds of abortions.
As a devout eugenicist, Sanger actually shared office space with Madison Grant, whose The Passing of the Great Race was about how the white race was being overcome and blocked from glory by other races. Adolf Hitler called this book his “bible.”
Sanger had other connections to the Nazi movement. One of the founding board members of her American Birth Control League — which would one day become Planned Parenthood — wrote several books, including The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy and The Revolt Against Civilization: The Menace of the Under Man. This second title is where Heinrich Himmler got the idea for the untermensch (subhuman). Sanger’s great friend and adviser, Ernst Rüdin, helped shape the Nazi ideas about genetic cleansing — i.e., mass murder of undesirables.

They were the same in their thinking. I don’t know why Blacks don’t completely revolt against the liberals over this woman, their de facto patron saint
