This special, historical edition is dedicated to the largest abortion center in the United States being opened in Houston on January 18th. This quote is from Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood (who sponsored the new center).
"As an advocate of Birth Control, I wish to take advantage of the present opportunity to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the "unfit" and the "fit", admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation to the mentally and physically fit though less fertile parents of the educated and well-to-do classes. On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective."
What a mission statement! Ms. Sanger, of course, saw herself as fit to procreate.

How is it possible that the largest abortion center in the US is opening in Texas, the cradle of conservativism?!?! How are cowboy-booted people not stomping around the grounds in protest?
A funny side-note is that I'm guessing that place is FULL of feeble minded people coming in to destroy proof of their fertility. So in a weird light, Ms. Sanger got her way.
