That doesnt mean a thing. The scientists involved with Eugenics used Darwin's theory as a foundation and took it a step further. This is undeniable.

The American Birth Control League was founded in the 1920s. Forced sterilization of mentally handicapped people and minorities was rampant during that time and has since become HIGHLY illegal. Things have changed.

Really? So planned parenthood doesnt abort babies due simply to race anymore?

And the original goal of Planned Parenthood (not formally established until 1942) was not only to sterilize "undesirables". There were many other important things that they have continued to do (birth control, cancer screening, sti tests, nutrition, etc.).

Birth control is eugenics....lol. The idea is to contol the population of certain groups (undesirables). Ever heard people say "poor people cant afford a baby"? "Why should they be made to suffer"? Same thing. Nice of you to throw in cancer screening, nutrition, etc to offset the eugenics side of it...lol.

And again, forcing people to undergo sterilization is UNNATURAL selection and not at all linked to the NATURAL selection that Darwin was talking about.

It does not matter either way. They used Darwin as a stepping stone and the foundation of their movement. Again, this is undeniable.
