A few thoughts on abortion

Here at Summit we learn a lot about current events and social issues, and today I've decided to share a few stats concerning abortion.  Perhaps a blog isn't the best place to do this but I figure that it's better than Facebook and some of you may be interested, so what the hey.  Did you know that Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood has a direct link to Adolph Hitler?  Now before you discredit me and call me crazy hear me out.  The story actually starts with Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin.  In 1883 Galton became the father of an idea called "eugenics" which is the perfection of the human race by getting rid of it's "undesirables" and multiplying its "desirables."  Margaret Sanger was a huge fan of this idea and became a eugenicist herself, publishing many articles on the matter but most importantly setting up most of her Planned Parenthoods in black neighborhoods.  Adolph Hitler was then influenced by Sanger's and Galton's ideas concerning eugenics and initiated the Holocaust.  Here are a few interesting numbers: 1.1 million American soldier have been killed in all American wars, 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust, 50 million American babies have been killed from abortion since it was legalized in 1973.  Sanger was a very important person with a past that no one ever talks about.  Even today 514 of every 1,000 black pregnancies end in abortion.  She has been extremely successful in attacking what she considered a "less desirable" race, and her work continues without issue.  The good thing is that for the first time since Gallop began taking polls on the issue in 1995 51% of the U.S. population is pro-life.  For the other 49% consider this: when watching an abortion through an ultrasound you can actually see the baby recoil from the doctor's instrument and try to swat it away.  Just something to think about.
