      A delicious piece of propaganda. I only gave it 1 ½ stars, but that was based on my abhorrence of the subject matter. Why listen to filtered quotations from people that are the cornerstones of modern movements, when you can read their own words in their entirety. Sanger is considered the founder of Planned Parenthood and she should be judged by her words, not others interpretations of her words. To be clear, this is not a book about abortion, although that is a part of it. This book is about eugenics as it pertains to the early stages of the progressive movement. There is a foreword by Oscar Wilde that is also worth reading. Short book that is at least worth a glance. Give it a look, if you can find it. My public library searched diligently for it and eventually got me a copy, inter-library loan. My favorite quote is “superfluous population”. If you think that’s just a piece of propaganda, read the book; or don’t, the ideas are akin to “1984” and “A Brave New World”--but nonfiction.
