Eugenics

[Yourshoesareuntied]

Was watching a video on Nazi Medicine and learned something interesting.

Pre-WWII the USA lead the world in Forced Sterilization also known as eugenics. Many states had mandatory Sterilization for the "feebleminded" in 1947 Oklahoma even attempted to use this program for certain criminals but was struck down by a supreme court ruling (Skinner vs Oklahoma) the Nazi party admired the work the USA had started and then took it to a whole new level...

Euginics is in widespread use today. In every aspect of our life, from the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the medicine we take.

But don't try to explain that to this group.

They still think Diet Coke will not make you fat.

non-consented medical experiments are still going strong in the usa.1990 More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.1995 Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.

Oh and welcome to the club yourshoesareunited. People here are generally not receptive to history of this type of stuff and proof that the government is not always looking out for our best interests.

Eugenics was a favorite program of early twentieth-century progressives. Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927) was the seminal case on the issue, with Justice Holmes writing for the majority that

We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.

and that "Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States is a good primer on the topic. Yes, Wikipedia, but it cites its sources, which are quite instructive. Note carefully the dates; at the risk of Godwinning my own post, Buck v. Bell significantly predates Hitler's rise to power. Yes, he got the idea from us.

After you've done the research (don't just take my word for it), it's fun to go blow leftist minds by pointing out one of their champion causes, and especially detailing the racism and classism inherent in it.

Yes, planned parenthood IS euginics

Notice how all the planned parenthood centers are in or close to the "bad" parts of every town?
