There are still, in this country, situations where some individuals are owned by others -- where the power of life and death -- even the power to determine humanity -- is vested in another person. If that other person decides you are not worthy, or you don't deserve to live, they are legally entitled to terminate your life. Here's a clip where two black men (who really should know better) defend that regime:



Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was in favor of eugenics (racial improvement) programs, and was intensely interested in controlling the populations of people she considered to be undesirables (including blacks and the poor).

That these two men should say what they say, on behalf of Margaret Sanger's progeny, is amazing in this day and age.

Agreed. Find it troubling when one human has the power to set the value of another human (at the beginning of life) as less than priceless. In my opinion, by letting this value be set, all of life, no matter the stage, eventually obtains this same value.

Not amazed. Sad and disappointed, yes. This happens far too often.
