“Eugenics seems to me to be valuable in its critical and diagnostic aspects, in emphasizing the danger of irresponsible and uncontrolled fertility of the ‘unfit’ and the feeble-minded establishing a progressive unbalance in human society and lowering the birth-rate among the ‘it.’ But in its so-called ‘constructive’ aspect, in seeking to reestablish the dominance of healthy strain over the unhealthy, by urging an increased birth-rate among the fit, the Eugenists really offer nothing more farsighted than a ‘cradle competition’ between the fit and the unfit. They suggest in very truth, that all intelligent and respectable parents should take as their example in this grave matter of child-bearing the most irresponsible elements in the community.”
There is every indication that feeble-mindedness in its protean forms is on the increase, that it has leaped the barriers, and that there is truly, as some of the scientific eugenists have pointed out, a feeble-minded peril to future generations—unless the feeble-minded are prevented from reproducing their kind.”
Last I checked sterilization and abortion are the same.
Sterilization to prevent reproduction for eugenic purposes is considered a form of genocide. Taking the step before abortion with the same intent of outcome is the same.
How many of who you listed is considered the patron of Planned Parenthood? How many started the national league of birth control (sterilization)? You listed feminists not abortionists, while the two interlap the work done was completely different.

I assumed he was being sarcastic, otherwise I didn't get the point either.

I should have started with forced sterilization to clarify over self sterilization which is the more common form today.
