“When we realize that each feeble-minded person is a potential source of endless progeny of defect, we prefer the policy of immediate sterilization, of making sure that parenthood is absolutely prohibited to the feeble-minded.”
Margaret Sanger
“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, in order 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. . . . Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Supreme Court Justice — US Supreme Court
Buck vs. these united States
Holmes’ Opinion that Buck should be forcefully sterilized
This is what the person outside of Christ calls compassion. Compassion to the non-Christian who is consistent with their Christ-hating presuppositions is tyranny and control. Sanger and Holmes Jr. would have been very comfortable with the tyranny we are seeing today. This class of people always believes themselves to be the enlightened benighted. They believe that they know what is best for the hoi-polloi. They will take it upon themselves to rule those who they deem are not able to rule themselves. They completely ignore other jurisdictions like family and/or church that God has ordained to have jurisdiction over areas they may not touch. For people like Sanger and Holmes Jr. a top-down federal bureaucracy is to be in charge over all and is to decide all questions and all must bow to their infinite wisdom.
