The Truth About Margaret Sanger is a blog dedicated to exposing the truth about the founder of Planned Parenthood. The blog carries items of general pro-life interest but focuses particularly on the eugenic thinking of this iconic figure in the anti-life promotion of abortion and birth-control.They are currently running the 3rd Annual Margaret Sanger at the Ku Klux Klan Rally Art Contest which invites various representations of Margaret Sanger's speech in 1926 to the Women's Branch of the Silver Lake Ku Klux Klan as mentioned in her own 1938 autobiography.
The contest will not accept photoshopped entries this year but will accept any of the following:
Drawings, cartoons, historical novels, haiku, dance, plays, videos, paintings, quilts, rap, puppetry, modern interpretations of Sanger speaking to the Klan, reenactments of the speech on YouTube, mime, audio recordings of actual Sanger quotes she may have reused when speaking to the Klan

Oh , yes. In the mould of the wonderful Marie Stopes:
"utopia could be reached in my life time had I the power to issue inviolable edicts... (I would legislate compulsory sterilization of the insane, feebleminded)... revolutionaries... half-castes."
The Control of Parenthood (1920)
Does it ever get pointed out by, say, the CRE, that a government-funded organisation is named after a racist? I can just about hear the Guardianistas choking on their lattes.
Or how about this gem of liberality:
[She called for the ]"sterilization of those totally unfit for parenthood (to) be made an immediate possibility, indeed made compulsory."
-Radiant Motherhood (1920)
Margaret Sanger and Marie Stopes - do you see a pattern developing?
There's also some interesting stuff about the early eugenicists here (scroll down to Chapter 6)
