In Margaret Sanger's book ''The Pivot of Civilization'' she called for the elimination of "human weeds," for the segregation of "morons, misfits, and maladjusted," and for the sterilization of "genetically inferior races." <ref>http://www.ewtn.com/library/prolife/pp04a.txt</ref> Sanger also stated in this book that organized attempts to assist the poor were the "surest sign that our civilization has bred, is breeding, and is perpetuating. . . defectives, delinquents, and dependents." <ref>http://www.ewtn.com/library/prolife/pp04a.txt</ref>
"Organized charity is itself the symptom of a malignant social disease. Those vast complex, interrelated organizations aiming to control and to diminish the spread of misery and destitution and all the menacing evils that spring out of this sinisterly fertile soil, are the surest sign that our civilization has bred, is breeding and is perpetuating constantly increasing numbers of defectives, delinquents and dependents. My criticism therefore, is not directed at the ‘failure’ of philanthropy, but rather at its success" - Margaret Sanger, ''The Pivot of Civilization'' [NY: Brentano's, 1922], p. 108).<ref>http://www.angelafranks.com/margaret_sanger.htm</ref>
