HELEN KELLER
GIVES REASONS
FOR CONTROLING BIRTH OF
DEFECTIVE BABIES WHICH
SHE FRANKLY APPROVES
Moss Helen Keller, the talented
and brilliant writer who has been
deprived of vision of things natural,
writing in the Kalamazoo Gazette
of recent date on the all impor
tant question that has taken hold
of mothers’ minds and doctors since
s defective child was not helped to
live, but rather allowed to die soon
after birth, gives splendid reasons
for ensouraging the work, with
which we may not all accept as
correct according to our views, yet
we must admit that her argument
is replete with facts that can
not be denied, therefore, well worth
considering. The article follows:
When Dr. If. J. Haiselden per
mitted the Bollinger baby to die in a
Chicago hospital, he performed a
service to society as well as to the
hopeless being he spared from a
life of misery.
No one cares about that pitiful,
Useless lump of flesh, but that
baby has lived not in vain because
its death brought us face to face
with the many questions of eugenics
and control of the birth rate —
questions we have been side-step
ping because we are afraid of them.
The hue and cry raised about the
“murder” of this poor, mindless,
crippled, half-dead little creature,
indicates a deep-rooted error In
American thinking.
It shows that we do not under
stand the meaning of life or Its
laws or its great beautiful purposes
—joy beauty and achievement. Our
.puny sentimentalism has caused us
to forget that a HUMAN LIFE IS
SACRED ONLY WHEN IT MAY
BE OF SOME USE TO ITSELF
AND TO THE WORLD.
We have refused to listen to the
Dr. Haiseldens when they have tried
to rub into us the fact that the
world is already flooded with un
happy, unhealthy, mentally unsound
persons that should never have
been bom.
Their declaration that we can
prevent the birth of more such un
fortunate persons, and must pre
vent it, has angered unwilling hear
ers to whom such wisdom is blas
phemy.
The sentimentalist’s ire has smol
dered long while thoughtful men
discussed whether the insane and
defective class should be per
vented from propagating them
selves. And now the life and death
of this baby is the match that has
set fire to all this combustible ma
terial.
Forms Birth Control League
The case of William Sanger,
whose wife formed the birth con
trol league, should open the eyes of
ell intelligent persons to the forces
at work against the spread of this
new idea. A short time ago San
ger was sent to prison in New York
fer giving away a phamplet, “Fam
ily Limitation,” that his wife had
written. It was her answer to many
appeals for information from men
and v-omen who could not support
the!, families, and who could <-not
pay a competent physician for the
information they wanted. Its pur
pose was to help distressed parents
to limit the number of their off
spring and give a better chance of
health and - happiness to the chil
dren they did have.
Now, most of those who have
large families are working people.
Why should not the idea of hav
ing fewer children be fostered a
mong them?
The imprisonment of Sanger re
veals the fact that there are per
sons who do not want this idea to
be disseminated among the work
ers. These persons, for the sake of
profits alone, deliberately encour
age the workers to have large fam
ilies, that their little ones may be
driven to labor—that the factories
shall have them—to the end that
there shall be no dearth of hands
and therefore plenty of people to
take such wages as is offered them.
New Knowledge Odious to Them
Incredible as it seems, employers
of other’s brains and bodies may,
and do, claim a right over the lives,
the frail limbs and tender souls of
other’s progeny—for profit. To such
persons the new knowledge about
birth control is odious.
The limiting of families is a mat
ter of the gravest necessity to the
workers. In spite of our boasts of
national prosperity, poverty Is
steadily increasing. The cost of liv
ing mounts higher and higher, and
v ages do not advance in proportion.
. .If the families of the workers are
left to the uncontrolled caprice of
nature, we shall have a larger per
centage of children that are forced
to toil in mills and factories—'who
are denied their birthright of edu
cation and play.
Already countless mothers are
obliged to work outside their hemes
and leave their little ones without
' proper care. Unwatched, exposed
to all the influences of evil, these
children of the poor grow or waste
away as they may, like plants In
sandy soil, among rocks, weeds and
rubbish, bereft of light arid sun
shine. Those that survive bring
into the world, in spite of them
selves, an even larger number of
deformed, sickly, feeble minded
children. And the incalculabh
mischief of an uncontrolled birth
rate sucks up the vitality of the hu
man race. This is the real race
suicide that we must combat.
The production of the poor is their
poverty, only by taking the re
sponsibility of birth control Into
their own hands can they roll back
the awful tide of misery that is
sweeping over them and their chil
dren.
Anyone who will take a peep into
life’s back yard will see a huge junk
heap that will set him thinking.
Once it was necessary that the
people should multiply and be fruit
ful if the race was to survive. But
now to preserve the race itisneces
F!:ry that people hold back the
power of propagation.
