What are they thinking???

I was sitting in traffic last night going home when the started looking at the bumper stickers covering the back of the SUV in front of me. As I read them I thought just another typical lib... an Obama 08 sticker, a 1.20.09 sticker, a few PETA stickers, and finally a sticker that I'm sure the driver thought was about woman's rights.

The license plate had a frame that said "Adopt puppies, don't kill them". And directly below it on the rear hatch, centered between the plate and the bumper, was a bumper sticker that said:

No woman can call herself free who does not own
and control her body
~Margaret Sanger

WTH???

The driver had every liberal bumper sticker imaginable on her car and centered in a place of "honor" is her salute to a woman who was a racist and supported abortion for the purpose of eugenics. She had slogans telling people to adopt dogs, but to kill humans.

Now Sanger did do a lot to get people to give up their reservations about birth control. But her views on abortion on demand and eugenics are ghastly. How this confused (some would say evil) woman is becoming a hero of woman's rights calls for both a revision of history and total disconnect from reality.

Celebrating Margret Sanger as a hero for one thing she did good, while ignoring all the the wrong aspects of her public life is like celebrating Hitler for his motivational skills while ignoring everything else he did.

Now whether this disconnect is due to ignorance or defective logic I don't know. But it shows the driver clearly favors the issues she espouses over the results. The driver was telling you to adopt a dog instead of having it euthanized was quoting a woman who was for abortion and sterilization of "weak" races. In my world, the one I call reality, forcing abortions or sterilizations is counter to woman's rights

I'll note she didn't have another famous Sanger quote on her car though:

“The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its
infant members is to kill it.”
