“…Eugenics: the skeleton that rattles loudest in the left’s closet…”

“…Socialism’s one-time interest in eugenics is dismissed as an accident of history.

But the truth is far more unpalatable…

That great pioneer of contraception, Marie Stopes – honoured with a postage stamp in 2008 – was a hardline eugenicist -

- determined that the “hordes of defectives” be reduced in number- thereby placing less of a burden on “the fit”.

Stopes later disinherited her son because he had married a short-sighted woman-

- thereby risking a less-than-perfect grandchild.”
