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…""Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock [people of color].""Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems."Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives.""The unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' [is] the greatest present menace to civilization… the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.""The campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the final aims of eugenics.""Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying… a dead weight of human waste… an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.""The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind.""The procreation of [the diseased, the feeble-minded and paupers] should be stopped.""The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social order...""[Our objective is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children...""[Mandatory] sterilization for [the insane and feeble-minded] is the answer.""Give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."Yeah, a real piece of work.
