Margaret Sanger's Version of "I have a dream" Coming true?

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was demonstrably a racist eugenicist:
The aim of the program was to restrict—many believe exterminate—the black population. Under the pretense of “better health” and “family planning,” Sanger cleverly implemented her plan. What's more shocking is Sanger's beguilement of black America's crème de la crème—those prominent, well educated and well-to-do—into executing her scheme. Some within the black elite saw birth control as a means to attain economic empowerment, elevate the race and garner the respect of whites.
Margaret Sanger, one of the founders of the Malthusian Eugenics movement, thought it a wonderful idea to "do away" with the "undesirables" of society. Unlike Dr. Martin Luther King, who dreamt of the day when little black children and little white children could walk hand in hand, Margaret Sanger (did I mention she was the founder of Planned Parenthood?) dreamed of the day when little white children would be walking hand in hand with each other--with no black children to be found.

And the story in today's AP looks like Margaret Sanger's "dream" (to others, a nightmare) is coming ever closer to fruition:
LONDON (AP) - Giving contraceptives to people in developing countries could help fight climate change by slowing population growth, experts said Friday.

More than 200 million women worldwide want contraceptives, but don't have access to them, according to an editorial published in the British medical journal, Lancet. That results in 76 million unintended pregnancies every year.

If those women had access to free condoms or other birth control methods, that could slow rates of population growth, possibly easing the pressure on the environment, the editors say.

Sounds eerily like...
(Magaret Sanger and fellow eugenicists)... espoused racial supremacy and “purity,” particularly of the “Aryan” race. Eugenicists hoped to purify the bloodlines and improve the race by encouraging the “fit” to reproduce and the “unfit” to restrict their reproduction.
Which, when you think of it, is the liberal elitists position on everything. In their mind, their status of being the "enlightened" ones makes them uniquely entitled to the spoils of the world, while the unwashed masses should be happy to live in squalor. While Nancy Pelosi and Algore can have their jetliners to jet themselves and their families to points unknown, the rest of the plebian masses can take public transportation. While Rosie O'Donnell can travel with an armed body guard, she seeks to deny 2nd amendment rights to the plebiscite. While Margaret Sanger and her ideological descendents think that they, the enlightened, are entitled to live, the great 'unwashed masses' beneath them are a waste of resources and thus are not only expendible, but actually have a duty to curb their numbers.

At any rate, you get the picture.

And the more you look at it, the more the picture begins to look like Dorian Gray.
