I found an interesting quote from H.G. Wells in an introduction he wrote in Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's 1922 book, "The Pivot of Civilization":
"We want fewer and better children...and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us."
I enjoyed reading his books in school, but it turns out (and I did not discover this until recently) Wells, along with Sanger, was just another eugenics-loving progressive!
