June 1932 Edition, XVI No. 6 Birth Control Review A Negro Number

The question of birth control for Negroes has been confounded by several essentially unrelated issues. There has been an assumption, invoked by certain politico-racial considerations, that overpopulation means merely too many undesirable groups, thus ruling out the essential factor of intelligent discrimination and population selection within these groups. Most discussions of the question in America have contrasted the fertility of the native born White population with that of  the Negro and with certain elements of the foreign born, on some such basis as that upon which the present immigration legislation was promulgated. Not only do such views and policies obscure the important issues, but invariably they set up resentment among Negroes against the implications of the contrast. 
This assumption is little different from another which, equally indiscriminate, associates race, as such, with unfitness. Thus, any restricti…

June 1932 Edition: XVI, No 6 Birth Control Review A Negro Number
The American Negro has been going through a period of stress, not only in the present depression, but long before it. His income is reduced by ignorance and prejudice and his former tradition of marriage and large families have put grave strain on a budget on which he was seeking, not merely to maintain, but to improve his standard of living. 
As slaves, every incentive was furnished to raise the largest number of children possible. The chief surplus crop of Virginia and other border states consisted of this natural increase of slaves and it was realized in the consequent slave trade to feed the lower South and Southwest. Frederick Bancroft has recently shown us that this trade, in the decade 1850-60, involved average annual sales of nearly 80,000 human beings, representing $100,000,000 dollars of capital. 
Even then birth control was exercised by the more intelligent slaves, as we know from many reminiscences.
After em…

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

On Tuesday, Oklahoma Senator Ralph Shortey, R-Oklahoma City, introduced Senate Bill 1418, which prohibits “the sale or manufacture of food or products which contain aborted human fetuses,” or which “used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.” “There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors,” Shortey told local media. 
According to patents, Senomyx, a flavor research company th…

Chicago Authorities Obscuring Info in Planned Parenthood DeathAugust 16, 2012 by Peter Grady –
Chicago officials appear to be helping Planned Parenthood obscure the truth about a black woman who died at their offices while obtaining an abortion.
Last month it was revealed that Tonya Reaves died after being left for several hours after staff at the eugenicist founded organization’s Chicago facility tore a hole in her uterus. The facility eventually decided to call an ambulance for the woman, but she later died from extensive hemorrhaging, leaving behind a one year old son.
Following Reaves death, pro-life organizations have called for the abortion giant to be prosecuted for the death.
Walter Hoye of the Issues4Life Foundation said the company’s decision to have Reaves wait several hours before calling for medical assistance showed the “indifference” of the organization towards human life.
“At a minimum, Planned Parenthood was criminally negligent when they left Tonya bleeding in their facil…
