HLI Denounces Eugenicist Professor's Call to Sterilize the "Unfit"
Press Release

FRONT ROYAL, VA – Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro-Carambula, Interim President of Human Life International (HLI), today denounced comments made recently by British Professor David Marsland in which Marsland called for certain "unfit" members of society to be forcibly sterilized

"Professor Marsland's comments only go to show that no evil is ever fully buried in the past," said Monsignor Barreiro. "Every time we think we've seen the last of the Sangerian calls to forcibly sterilize and otherwise do away with the disabled, we are aghast at their return." Here Monsignor Barreiro was referring to Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, and a noted racist eugenicist who, with the support of Adolf Hitler and many progressive intellectuals, openly called for such programs to be used against racial minorities and other "unfit" persons in the early 20th century.

"Our elites have established a society of contraception and abortion, wherein life itself is just another factor to be controlled at our whim. This society in turn creates more and more people who are depersonalized and marginalized, and they think that the answer to this is to simply get rid of the people whose situations we have helped to create? This is insanity," said Monsignor Barreiro.

"What many people may not realize is how mainstream Prof. Marsland's comments are in the 'progressive' academy. These so-called 'philosophers' are not lovers of wisdom, but destroyers of wisdom and of life itself. Only a corrupt person could make this barbarity sound so 'reasonable'," said Monsignor Barreiro. "We are not fooled. We must all denounce this evil and stop it in its tracks."

Monsignor Barreiro called in particular on Christians and all those of good will who serve in academia to reject Marsland's murderous reasoning: "This is an opportunity to show that although we have disagreements, at least we can agree that Marsland and those like him have again gone too far. We must tell them that we reject the notion that human beings are mere animals that must be controlled by those who think they know better."

I wonder how we can get the message around that abortion is often eugenics?

I always feel like it doesn't register with people, as if the word itself is too complicated, too remote.

Possibly, however relating it to historical people's actions, while being sure to name the way it is connected should (idealistically?) start to make an impression.

Yes, Hitler after all, was one of the main proponents of eugenics...

That always registers, despite being over used..

And has real historical ties to Planned Parenthood.

What of Cromwell and the Catholics or some Americans during the 19th century and the Indians/Native Americans ("the only good Indian is a dead Indian")?

Cromwell?

Was that racial too?

[Brigid]

Not as far as I know - oops.

I am thinking suddenly of all the evil Spanish mustaches that fill entertainment in English..

Catholic Spain.. Protestant England..

Perhaps you are on to something!

Well, if I am on to something, it certainly wasn't on purpose. 

That does make me think tho' of Snidely Whiplash's mustache, of the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show". Hmm ...

[Shin]

Twirling an evil mustache..

Hmm. I wonder..

I was reading about this and it came as no surprise that when Hitlers eugenics plan failed and was forever derided as inhuman, rather than abolish the whole plan, the promoters of eugenics found a different, and more acceptible way of continuing.
They abolished the word "Eugenics" and substituted more benign words such as, Family planning, birth control, population control and a host of others but all with the same goal in mind.

[Shin]

Hmm yes.. and if one doesn't learn the lessons of history.. especially the World Wars..

Doomed to repeat..

I wonder how many other things are actually something different, more sinister, only other different, seemingly benign names...

[martin]

There are lots of undesirable things promoted under the banner of the word "Education"

And the now uncovered devious plan associated with the words, "Free Choice"

Other benign words which hide their real intent: Tolerance, Anti discrimination, Marginalized and so on.

[Shin]

Umph, how could I forget?

I have let my political attentions slide.

eugenics:  Hitler also used that to justify killing people with disabilities.

It is also a statement about euthanasia, which I think is also a pro-life issue and an important one, just as destructive, legal in some state, favored in some countries.  Had to add this...........
