Mike Wallace Interviews Margaret Sanger 9/21/57 www.hrc.utexas.edu/multim...lace/sanger_margaret.html
Poster Comment:
In this interesting 1957 interview, population control and abortion advocate Margaret Sanger says her "opposition is mainly from the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church". Wallace reads a reference to Sanger about her background about how Sanger and her siblings were referred 'children of the devil' in their town growing up, because of their athiest father. Wallace asks if her motivation was not based on opposition to the church. Sangers mother was Catholic from Ireland, and had 11 children.
Wallace: "Now you certainly can take no issue with the natural law as the Church regards it"
Sanger: "Well I certainly do and I think it's unnatural".
They discuss the Catholic position on artificial birth control, in a very interesting interview the likes of which would never be aired on secular TV today. Highly recommended. As Wallace confronts Sanger on her past statements, she gets fidgety, blinking and darting out her tongue. Below, I will post excerpts from George H. W. Bush while he was a congressman in Texas in the 1960's, Bush's attacks on the Pope, Bush's glowing praise for Margaret Sanger, and his insistant advocacy of coercive population control enacted by governments worldwide.
As Wallace continues to reads Sangers quotes back to her, and how they are at variance with her current replies, she pleads, "Where these strange things come from that I said??! ... They then go on to discuss sin, if sin exists, divorce, etc.
