Margaret Sanger agreed with Malthus. She believed that true philanthropy was misguided.
She condemned those charities that sought to aid the “unfit” members of society.
Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying... demonstrates our
foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism... [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier
and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and
indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree,
a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks
that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them
to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates
of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should
have been born at all.

Charity," pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore College Library edition]
The pride and conceit of Satan always leads to a despising of mankind. The saints of God
need to be wise as serpents as they walk through this world. There are many, who like Satan
presenting the forbidden fruit to Eve, pretend to be concerned for mankind’s welfare. Yet
death is in their hands.
