Much of the street fighting and legal wrangling over abortion revolves around its perception as both a woman’s right, and an issue of women’s reproductive healthcare. Of course, in a society lacking the ability to define what a woman is, these two issues are clearly problematic. If we cannot define what a woman is, how do we identify woman’s rights, and determine women’s healthcare needs?
Those questions require some deep reflection, but, as discussed in Parts Two and Three of this series, viewing abortion in the wider context of eugenics and population control, provides a far better backdrop and vantage point for our discussion. If the narrowly- focussed, contentious brawling continues, the population will remain divided, unable to perceive the danger we all face from the billionaire promoters of depopulation. In its highly politicized and commercialized form, abortion is an indispensable tool in the eugenicist’s toolbox.
The human population in already under attack from many directions. One recent study shows an alarming decrease in male sperm count, a harbinger of the pending demise of human kind:
This analysis is the first to report a decline in sperm count among unselected men from South/Central America–Asia–Africa, in contrast to our previous meta-analysis that was underpowered to examine those continents. Furthermore, data suggest that this world-wide decline is continuing in the 21st century at an accelerated pace. Research on the causes of this continuing decline and actions to prevent further disruption of male reproductive health are urgently needed.
“Female reproductive health” is but a euphemism for killing the not-yet-born, but it seems that, for the sake of our species, our focus should be on male reproductive health. Undeniably, the voluntary and passionate embrace of abortion, killing our future citizens, is not only homicidal, but also suicidal.
Roe was a boon to the eugenicists and de-populationists. It was the gift that kept on killing the unwanted. Blackmun had merely handed them a legal fig leaf for their population-control agenda, especially as it developed through one of their main organs, Sanger’s Planned Parenthood organization. For her part, Maggie was all merciful heart:
The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it. (Margaret Sanger—Women and the New Race, Ch 5: The Wickedness of Creating Large Families)
In the ominous shadow of that fateful Roe decision, a corporate, Government-supported, multi-billion dollar, commercial abortion industry was launched. Baby-killing went mainstream. How else could the Black community have been robbed of 20 million members (See Part One) in the years since Roe? Were they among the “human weeds” Sanger bewailed?
Birth Control is not contraception indiscriminately and thoughtlessly practiced. It means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks–those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization. (Emphasis added.)

Not one to mince words, she gave it to us unvarnished and un-sugar-coated, promising us “defective stocks” and “human weeds”, “gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation”. That’s what you do with weeds. Right? But when did those 20 million unborn Black-Americans become “human weeds”? For 200 years, until their emancipation in 1865, African chattel slaves were the driver of US economic growth, especially in the South.
...by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States. In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion (Ed: Approx. $125 billion in today’s inflation-adjusted dollars), making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined.” (David Blight, Yale historian)
Blacks, were, in fact, the “gold rush”, or the “black gold” (crude oil) of their day. They were tradable commodities. African enslavement attracted the enthusiastic participation of prominent US companies. Corporate behemoths like Lehman Brothers, (the now-defunct, but formerly multi-billion-dollar brokerage firm at the epicenter of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis), piled in. The names of slavery’s profiteers reads like a Who’s Who of the most prestigious players in American commerce. Among them are JPMorgan Chase (via its predecessor banks, Citizens Bank and Canal Bank in Louisiana); New York Life; Bank of America (via its predecessors, Boatman Savings Institution, Southern Bank of St. Louis, and Bank of Metropolis); Wachovia Corporation (via its affiliates, Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, and the Bank of Charleston), acquired by Wells Fargo in 2008, and Tiffany’s, purveyors of “luxury” fashion accessories favored by the “elite”.
Prestigious educational institutions, such as Harvard, Yale, Brown, Penn and Princeton, protected by their ivy covered walls, share an uncomfortable secret: They also funded and profited from slavery. When Elihu Yale, namesake of Yale University and Governor of Madras, India (1860s), was exposed as an owner and trader of slaves, Administrators found themselves under pressure to rename the institution. They opted to preserve Yale’s legacy of slavery.
The trade in African flesh was a free-for-all, and anyone who could, got involved:
By 1865, the heroic efforts of courageous abolitionists had finally derailed the slave labor gravy train. Unfortunately, President Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation created a problem for US, eugenics-minded leadership—the “Negro problem”: What to do with all those freed slaves? However, as former Black slave, abolitionist, and famed orator, Frederick Douglass, rightly pointed out, this “Negro problem", was the white man’s problem, or more correctly stated, a problem for White leadership. Indeed, this problem caused the nation’s leaders great angst. Take Benj. K. Hays, MD:
(The black man)...has never been a competitor, but has always been subservient to the white race. And just so long as he remains subservient his position is secure, and just so soon as he becomes a competitor his fate is sealed. (Natural Selection and the Race Problem, Benj. K. Hays, MD, Oxford, N. C. 1905)
The negro as a laborer is valuable, and if it were possible to preserve the race in purity with him in our midst, he would be a great asset. Because this cannot be done, and because the mixed breeds are a great menace and not an asset, we have them as the greatest problem and most destructive force which confronts the white race and American civilization. Shall America Remain White? W. A. Plecker MD, American Eugenics Society, 1925
An urgent plan was needed to handle these potentially troublesome “Negroes”, now freed from their shackles. Vitally important, was a propaganda campaign, orchestrated by these mis-leaders, to manipulate ordinary White Americans into fearing the Black man.
In pursuit of this goal, D.W. Griffiths wrote his famous, The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, published in 1905. This book provided the script for the silent film, Birth of a Nation, which featured robed and hooded knights of the KKK riding to defend Whites against imaginary, rampaging Black hordes.
Calculatingly, the small cadre of wealthy farmers, financiers and industrialists who had privately reaped the giant share of slavery’s profits, would now seek to socialize the “problem” of what to do with all these unwanted Negroes. They would seek to make it the nation’s problem, one to be solved at the Federal level.
Segregation, reinforced by so-called, Jim Crow laws, became official policy in many States, and tensions, often ending in bloodshed, would soon explode. Hanging a black man from a tree was one way of dealing with the ex-slave, along with burning down prosperous Black towns. Negroes could only ride in the back of the bus, and drinking from “Whites Only” water fountains was prohibited. In 1955, 14-year-old, Emmett Till allegedly flirted with a White woman, and his brutal torture and murder made national headlines, shocking the conscience of the nation. In the same year, a bold Rosa Parks, refusing to give up her seat on the bus, to a White passenger, struck a telling blow for the nascent Civil Rights Movement, launched a year earlier.
Along the way, however, the gains made by the former slaves, on their march to becoming full-fledged citizens in the land that had abused them, would be dealt several crippling blows. Some have claimed, for example, that, in an attempt to decapitate Black leadership, thus restraining the Civil Rights Movement, State actors would gun down Malcolm X (1965), and Rev. Martin Luther King (1968).
In fact, many Blacks were brought back onto the “plantation” (now called “the Inner City”), becoming literal wards of the State, dependent on government handouts. The results for Black communities have been devastating: high crime rates, poverty, a victimhood/ entitlement mentality, low scholastic achievement, fathers absent from the home, and single-parent families. The misery and suffering of the “underclass” are the things that excite the eugenicist. They justify his “human weeds” approach to these seemingly intractable problems.
As John Oliver Killens, writer and Civil Rights Activist, observed, in his Foreword to Samuel Yette’s 1971 book, The Choice: The Issue of Black Survival in America:
The American ruling class had made a hard decision: Americans of African descent would either accept their miserable lot or die...the venerable Saturday Evening Post issued what might be termed as a “White Paper” in which it warned Black America that they had better understand and accept the fact that absolute freedom and equality were not part of the game plan for them, and that the consequence of non-acceptance would be wholesale genocide.
The abortion solution to the “Negro problem”, appears to have been a stunning success:
Since 1973, legal abortion has killed more African-Americans than AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, and violent crime combined. Every week, more blacks die in American abortion clinics than were killed in the entire Vietnam war. And the largest chain of abortion clinics in the United States is operated by Planned Parenthood.
It is no wonder that eugenics, via abortion and sterilization, came into favor in the US. Its techniques would be streamlined here, adopted by the National Socialists of Germany’s Third Reich, and, later, refined to perfection in the hands of the world’s billionaire, depopulation Clubs, and most recently, the World Economic Forum. (see Part Three)
All poor and indigent peoples, including poor Whites, are among Sanger’s “human weeds”, eligible for a little “extirpation”. In their communities, we will find the highest concentration of PPA abortion clinics. Today, Planned Parenthood continues to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in US taxpayer subsidies, and additional millions from a Who’s Who of US mega-corporations, including: American Express, Amgen, Bank of America, Boeing, BP, Deutsche Bank, ExxonMobil, General Electric, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Nike, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Shell, United Airlines, US Bank, Verizon, and Wells Fargo.
