Margaret Sanger On The Topic Of Infidelity / Television Interview Video. A Fair Use segment of a 1957 interview between Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger and Mike Wallace is presented. The transcript of the complete interview, as well as the original video, is available at the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas.

WALLACE: But sin in the ordinary sense that we regard it -- do you believe or do you not believe.

SANGER: What-what would they be?

WALLACE: Do you believe infidelity -- is a sin?

SANGER: Well, I'm not going to specify what I think is a sin. I stated what I think is the worst sin.

WALLACE: Yes, but then you asked me to say what--and I said what and ah--you refuse to answer me?

SANGER: I don't know about infidelity, that has many personalities to it--and what a person's own belief is--you can't, I couldn't generalize on any of those things as being sins.

Margaret Sanger believed that a woman's physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage vow. Birth Control in America, p. 11. After a failed trial marriage at 18, she married William Sanger in 1902 and soon engaged in extramarital affairs while encouraging her husband to do the same. After divorcing William Sanger, Margaret married J. Noah Slee, president of the Three-in-One Oil Company and a millionaire. Before the wedding ceremony she had Slee sign a prenuptial agreement. It stipulated that Margaret would be free to come and go as she pleased with no questions asked. She was to have her own apartment and servants within her husband's home, where she could entertain 'friends' of her own choosing, behind closed doors. Furthermore, Slee would have to telephone her from the other end of the house even to ask for a dinner date. Margaret told her lovers that with that document, the marriage would make little or no difference in her life—apart from the convenience of the money, of course. And she went out of her way to prove it; she flaunted her promiscuity and infidelity every chance she could get. Margaret Sanger was not content to keep her lascivious and concupiscent behavior to herself. She was a zealous evangelist for free love. Even in her old age, she persisted in proselytizing her sixteen-year old granddaughter, telling her that kissing, petting, and even intercourse was fine as long as she was sincere.

  • The whole interview is worth watching for 2 reasons:

    1. Mike Wallace doesn't pull any punches like the media would today.

    2. You get to see how Sanger lied, denied & changed her story to suit her purposes.

  • al007italia, I agree with your comments. I was surprised how easily Sanger contradicted herself. Mike Wallace was polite, but did ask solid questions. This is the only live interview with Sanger that I know of...

  • Well, this is called a literal interpretation of scripture. I've found as I've lived life I'm a lot more tolerant.

  • She said there are different belief systems, so she could not pinpoint what is a sin. Christianity is not the only religion, so why quote exodus?

  • @lionhasalreadybe I vote Satanic.

  • Their should be a place in hell for this bride of satan. Because of her 5 thousand die each day. Burn in the 7th layre of hell Margaret Sanger

  • @2xtream Right on!!  Their blood is CRYING out!!! I think that our Lord's return is LONG!!! overdue! and I can;'t wait till he comes. I think the birth pangs are starting and getting closer and closer. Look up he is coming!!!

  • @RioGirl16 AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @modonaut When it is all over with and we are all gone from this horrible cold world we will be on one of two sides the saved or the damned. Which is it? we will all come face to face with the second coming or dealth. I choose to be with the saved. Look at the legacy she left. Think really hard,,, which side did she choose??? Which side do you want to choose.. being ruled by mere humans?? or the Christ?? I choose the ONLY devine power over any human!!!

  • Always its the religious, scripture quoting zealots who want to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of us, while demanding that everyone else follow their religious dictates. Ahh, the blindness of hypocrisy. So rampant among the overtly religious. So inherently stupid in the blindness to their own hypocrisy and their continued efforts to impose their beliefs on an ever-changing world.

  • margaret is a wicked old hag

  • And because of this woman, million upon millions of babies and families have suffered. Because she made her practice so convenient to where having children was of no priority compared to pursuit of wealth, power, and self-satisfaction. I know large families that had nothing yet the children grew to become the most influencial people in society. Poverty doesn't excuse what Sanger has done to the modern woman and family. She is perpetually evil.
