Madison Grant, named for 2 presidents, was an American progressive, lawyer and author. His special interest was eugenics and his book was Hitler's "bible." He promoted killing disabled infants so they wouldn't be a burden to society and sterilizing "bad girls" and "defectives." How far have we come? Now we're more subtle, but it's still for the good of the state. The HHS Mandate will force religious groups that help the poor, tend the sick, and educate the children to insure birth control and sterilization, and "morning after" pills. Still going after the "bad girls," the poor, and the disabled. The penalty is $100/day per employee if they don't, a plan intended to put them out of business. The President promoting this believes in abortion for any reason, even sex selection. Mr. Grant would be proud of our progress.
During the Reich's early years, eugenicists across America welcomed Hitler's plans as the logical fulfillment of their own decades of research and effort. California eugenicists republished Nazi propaganda for American consumption. They also arranged for Nazi scientific exhibits, such as an August 1934 display at the L.A. County Museum, for the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association.
In 1934, as Germany's sterilizations were accelerating beyond 5,000 per month, the California eugenics leader C. M. Goethe upon returning from Germany ebulliently bragged to a key colleague, "You will be interested to know, that your work has played a powerful part in shaping the opinions of the group of intellectuals who are behind Hitler in this epoch-making program. Everywhere I sensed that their opinions have been tremendously stimulated by American thought.…I want you, my dear friend, to carry this thought with you for the rest of your life, that you have really jolted into action a great government of 60 million people."
