Hot on the heels of our medical conference last Saturday, Therapeutic Advances in Poor Prenatal Diagnoses, comes this letter from Archbishop Chaput to the people of his archdiocese. Opposition to this new eugenics is swelling all over the nation. Here is a bishop who makes me proud of my Church. Earlier this week local media [...]

Eugenics: “As Long as it’s Healthy….”
Posted in Abortion, Eugenics, tagged Abortion, Eugenics, Thomas Jefferson on July 27, 2011 | 19 Comments »
When Regina was pregnant with our three children, people would ask if it was a boy or a girl. When I responded with, “We don’t know,” I was met with the ubiquitous, iniquitous, mindless, and moronic refrain: “As long as it’s healthy.” I would challenge this well-intentioned, ill-thought well-wish with: “If it isn’t, we’ll love [...]

Yahoo News recently carried a story that reports from the proceedings of the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) in Stockholm, where a recent study was discussed linking in vitro fertilization (IVF) with an increased incidence in Down Syndrome.

My column in today’s Headline Bistro Princeton University philosopher Peter Singer, who famously advocates the ethical right of parents to kill their newborn children for any reason, recently has written an article in The New York Times proposing a mass self-extinction of humanity through collective sterilization. (Read it here). Citing the increasingly discredited global warming/climate [...]
Aztec Revisited

Their shapes are familiar to us. Four-sided stepped pyramids rising up out of the jungles and plains of the ancient Aztec Empire, the sites of blood sacrifice meant to appease the angry gods who were nothing more than an externalized expression of humanity’s worst fears and most primal impulses. These are the sites where the [...]

Jill Stanek graciously and unselfishly introduced me to most of the Pro-Life Leadership in Washington DC this past week. One of those leaders is Dr. Johnny Hunter, D.D., National Director of LEARN (Life Education And Resource Network). Dr. Hunter’s organization has put together a breathtaking 2 hour documentary on the Eugenics movement entitled Maafa 21, [...]
Genetics: The Nature v. Nurture Argument

In light of our ongoing treatment of Sanger and the Eugenics Movement, it’s fair to ask if the eugenists have any merit to their argument. No, they don’t. From a Christian anthropological perspective, the least among us is made in the image and likeness of God. Jesus tells us in Matthew 25 that He will [...]
Margaret Sanger’s Malthusian Roots
Posted in Birth Control, Eugenics, Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, Right to Life, Sex Education, tagged Eugenics, Margaret Sanger, Thomas Malthus on January 4, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The most of Thomas Malthus that many of us ever hear is in connection with Charles Darwin’s formulation of his Evolutionary Theory. Malthus believed that populations double over time, while food and materials increase only arithmetically. This in turn creates shortages in food and goods, leading to famine and war, so the thinking went. Darwin [...]
Margaret Sanger on Charity and Philanthropy

This week continues with a series of posts examining the anthropological assumptions and philosophical underpinnings of Margaret Sanger’s world view. It is every bit as unrelenting and unsparing as her Planned Parenthood. One of the commenters in the comboxes challenged Sanger’s treatment here, suggesting that the scholarship being done at NYU ought to merit serious [...]

If it seems that Sanger is being pounded here, she is. And for good cause. Margaret Sanger is one of the chief architects of the Culture of Death. Dismantling that culture requires a thorough deconstruction of all that Sanger built, much in the name of science. Here, Margaret Sanger, architect of the Culture of Death: [...]

A commenter in the comboxes believes Margaret Sanger to be misunderstood, and that we would all do well to follow the lead of her disciples at New York University. Mike Wallace interviewed Margaret Sanger 9/21/57. Watch the video here. Sanger really starts fidgeting, ducking and weaving, telling lies and conveniently forgetting in the second half [...]
