《文明樞軸》
瑪格麗特·桑格 1922年
上榜理由：宣揚(yáng)優(yōu)生學(xué)
瑪格麗特·桑格是當(dāng)代女性生育控制的先驅(qū)者和計(jì)劃生育的奠基人。在她1922年出版的《文明樞紐》中，她概述了優(yōu)生學(xué)理論，即通過選擇育種來控制人類種族；以及種族凈化論（比阿道夫·*早三年提出此言論）。她支持避孕，其原因完全出于她本人的信仰，即低等民族應(yīng)被消滅，高等民族應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)。桑格不僅僅對(duì)她那個(gè)時(shí)代的大眾觀念深刻思考，她還是優(yōu)生優(yōu)育事業(yè)的先驅(qū)者。在書中，她說到：“現(xiàn)在最緊要的問題就是如何限制和減少過度生育所造成的人類精神上和身體上的缺陷?！彼又f到：“如果美國社會(huì)沾沾自喜，繼續(xù)縱容無序混亂的生育，從而導(dǎo)致我們的人種變得愚蠢、兇殘、感情用事，那么猛烈的斯巴達(dá)式的解決方法將要在美國強(qiáng)制實(shí)行?！痹谒哪X海中，控制出生率就是“最偉大最真實(shí)的節(jié)育方法”。當(dāng)然，現(xiàn)在的計(jì)劃生育卻竭力與它的疏遠(yuǎn)。
The Pivot of Civilization
Margaret Sanger, 1922
On the list because: it preaches eugenics
Margaret Sanger is the mother of modern contraception and the founder of Planned Parenthood. In her 1922 book, The Pivot of Civilization, she outlined her theories of eugenics （control of the human race by selective breeding） and racial purity （3 years before Hitler did the same in Mein Kampf）. The basis of her support of contraception was entirely due to her belief that inferior humans should be killed to enable a superior race to appear over time. Sanger did not just entertain popular ideas of her time - she was the champion of the cause. In her book she says: “the most urgent problem of to-day is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.” She goes on to say: “possibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon American society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupid, cruel sentimentalism.” Birth control was, in her mind, “the greatest and most truly eugenic method.” Needless to say, Planned Parenthood today have tried very hard to distance themselves from their founder.
