Whenever someone like Hillary Clinton says something to the effect that she admires Margaret Sanger's vision, it always prompts me to remind people what exactly that vision is by quoting Sanger herself as to how she thought society should be operating. Tip of the hat to LEARN:
"Organized charity itself is the symptom of a malignant social disease. Those vast, complex, interrelated organizations aiming to control and to diminish the spread of misery and destitution and all the menacing evils that spring out of this sinisterly fertile soil, are the surest sign that our civilization has bred, is breeding and perpetuating constantly increasing numbers of defectives, delinquents and dependents...Vision, indeed. Let's all catch it today, and remind the disabled and dependent among us that they shouldn't be here and that they're dragging all us fit people down.
...It [charity] encourages the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant.
...The most serious charge that can be brought against modern "benevolence" is that is encourages the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents. These are the most dangerous elements in the world community, the most devastating curse on human progress and expression."
