Eugenic sterilization laws promoted by the upper echelon of society in the 1920s and 30s were adopted in many states in the US. The most famous case found expression in the 1927 U.S. Supreme Court Case of Buck v. Bell. In that case the Court upheld the Virginia sterilization law. Justice O.W. Holmes, Jr., a Progressive jurist who held that the law should be used for social engineering, upheld the statute stating, “Three generations of imbeciles is enough.”
It was common to think in terms of a Eugenics Certificate for those who met society’s standards of breeding. Margaret Sanger was a notorious eugenicist and that was the purpose of her Birth Control League, known today as Planned Parenthood.
Are we moving toward similar practices in regard to the vaccination issue?
