They used it FALSELY. Blaming evolution for man-made eugenics is trying too hard. Darwin's theory had to do with selection happening naturally. Eugenics is taking it to a separate level... and if you think that eugenics started with Darwin's theory... then I don't know what to tell you.

Really? So planned parenthood doesnt abort babies due simply to race anymore?
Planned Parenthood doesn't make any decisions about who aborts and who does not. The people involved make the decisions. Your statement makes it sound as if people from Planned Parenthood go around taking women from their homes and making them have abortions.

The fact of the matter is that poor people are a LOT less likely to be educated on sexual matters. Poor people are a LOT more likely to be minorities. Poor people are a LOT more likely to resort to abortion (hint: because they are poor and usually already have one or more children to take care of). Planned Parenthood does not "abort babies simply due to race".

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.
What are you even talking about? Poor people can't afford birth control more than half the time! And recently the price of birth control went up an insane amount because of a "clerical error" in the writing of a recent bill. You think poor people are out there taking birth control more than middle class or rich people? You've got to be kidding me.

Let's try this again.

Poor people are less likely to have sexual education.
Poor people are less likely to use contraception.
Poor people are less likely to be able to afford contraception.
Poor people are MORE likely to have an unplanned/unwanted pregnancy.
Poor people are MORE likely to be of a minority race.

See how that works? It has nothing to do with the service providers. It's a societal problem that begins with education. The people providing birth control are not the bad ones in this little conspiracy theory here. It's those who refuse to provide adequate education on how to protect yourself from pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections to poor people who are the "bad guys".

It does not matter either way. They used Darwin as a stepping stone and the foundation of their movement. Again, this is undeniable.
They incorrectly skewed natural selection into unnatural selection so they could hide behind something while they did what they had been trying to find a way to do all along. Darwin is not to blame for the Holocaust (Jews had been facing persecution for nearly 1900 years before that and Mein Kampf has a lot more references to doing "the Lord's work" by exterminating the Jews than to evolutionary theory). Darwin is not to blame for eugenics. And evolution is not to blame for eugenics.

But again... what this has to do with "intelligent" design being taught in classrooms (which is what the movie was supposed to be about, right?) I have no idea.
