Clandestine Collaboration: Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey & Dr. Mary S. Calderone

The Kinsey Reports and the Conspiracy behind Roe v. Wade

By Eunice Ray

This preliminary draft memo confirms a covert collaboration between Alfred Kinsey and Mary Steichen Calderone, M.D.  Two “medical” books published in 1958 are the fruit of this collaboration and Roe v. Wade 410 U.S. 113 (1973) was based in significant part upon this pre-Roe collaboration between Kinsey and Calderone to “scientifically” establish the great “prevalence” of abortion and the lack of “serious health threat”[1] to therapeutic abortion, but the fatalities associated with unregulated abortions.  The two books are:

The proceedings of a seminal clandestine conference in April 1955, on the criminal and unspeakable procedure of induced abortion at Arden House sponsored by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., and the New York Academy of Medicine, entitled Abortion in the United States and published by Hoeber-Harper Books in 1958 well after the conference.  Kinsey, “the father of American Sexual Science,”[2] testified at the conference based on his unreliable[3] Female data and is the only “scientific” authority at the conference and in Roe v. Wade for the proposition that illegal induced abortion is prevalent in the US. 

·         The other “medical” book is the “Third Volume” of The Kinsey Reports, based on Kinsey’s unreliable Female data, published by the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University, entitled Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion (1958) and produced by Kinsey’s co-authors Paul H. Gebhart, Wardell B. Pomeroy, Clyde E. Martin, Cornelia B. Christenson, who is not an original coauthor, but later a biographer of Kinsey, published by Harper & Brothers Publishers and Paul B. Hoeber, Inc., a Medical Text Book Publisher.  Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion was dedicated to Alfred Charles Kinsey, who died in 1956.  (A copy of the flyleaf and the cover of that book are also enclosed.) 

The 1958 Planned Parenthood Conference Report edited by Dr. Mary Calderone and the Kinsey Institute’s “Third Volume,” Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion, were cited in the ALI’s 1959 draft of the Model Penal Code[4] which was cited as a footnote by the U.S. supreme Court in the infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade opinion.  The footnote citation to Draft No. 9 (May 8, 1959) of the ALI MPC in turn states:

Major sources of information on abortion include two sources: Calderone, Abortion in the United States (1958); Gebhard, and others, Pregancy, Birth and Abortion, chap. 8, (1958). 

As mentioned previously, Alfred Kinsey’s Female data, (by the way there is no footnote to “abortion” in Kinsey’s Female Volume) presented at the Planned Parenthood Conference makes up a significant part of Planned Parenthood’s Report.  The only other data about the “prevalence” of illegal abortion was the anecdotal testimony of a retired Baltimore Doctor claiming his own performance of 5,000 illegal abortions, which is not legal or scientific authority for the “prevalence” of illegal abortion in the US prior to 1955. 

The scientific fraud which supports these books and Planned Parenthood’s position has never been fully exploited by the pro-life movement to overturn Roe v. Wade.  Given the significance of Kinsey’s Female data in the 1959 ALI MPC cited in Roe, it is stunning to discover the Pulitzer Prize winning author’s, David J. Garrow, definitive history of Roe v. Wade contains only ONE reference to Dr. Kinsey in his nearly one thousand page tome entitled Liberty & Sexuality: The Right to Privacy and the Making of Roe v. Wade, (1994).  Significantly neither of the above two books on abortion, nor the conference, is mentioned in the index or bibliography of Garrow’s seminal work.  Why would a serious scholar in a comprehensive work omit such a pillar in the “making of Roe?”  Kinsey’s participation in the conference and his abortion data are not cited in Garrow’s book.  Remember CIA Director Allen A. Dulles’ off the record remark, “we only reveal in order to conceal.” 

The 80^th anniversary of the establishment of the ALI and their first tax-exempt foundation sponsored project to deconstruct the Biblically-based common law state penal law protecting marriage, women and children; the 50^th anniversary of Kinsey’s Female Volume; and the 30^th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, that dark Monday January 22, in American history will all occur in 2003.  There is a significant opportunity next year to use this information along with some of the revelations in other recent research about birth control, abortion and the covert revolution carried out through the Courts in our federal government and to remake modern America. 

Sodomy as Marriage: Mom and Dad R.I.P.

The act of uniting a man and woman for life ; wedlock ; the legal union of a man and woman for life. Marriage is a contract both civil and religious, by which the parties engage to live together in mutual affection and fidelity, till death shall separate them.  Marriage was instituted by God himself for the purpose of preventing the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, for promoting domestic felicity, and for securing the maintenance and education of children.

                                                            Marriage Webster 1828

Move over mom and dad you are officially being rendered obsolete.  According to the New York Times, December 5, 2002, the American Law Institute “has wielded an extraordinary influence over American legal practices, since its founding in 1923.”  That is putting it mildly.  In 1955, the led a nationwide penal law revolution with its model penal code recommendations.  This May, the ALI published yet another a guide book for lawyers and courts, after spending 10 years evaluating Family Law.  According to the NYT report on the ALI Recommendations:

·       A person’s sexual orientation should not be considered by courts in custody matters.

·       Homosexual couples in long-term relationships should have to make alimony or child- support payments if they split up. 

·         Among other recommendations, the institute said judges should not consider marital conduct during divorce proceedings. {For decades, courts frequently punished cheating spouses by burdening them with higher alimony payments or denying them custody of their children.) 

·         The institute said judges should instead divide up property and decide alimony based on how long a couple had been married and how much each spouse was dependent on the other for financial support.

The NYT’s article goes on to say, proposals to repeal sodomy laws, give same-sex partners inheritance rights and extended health benefits to “partners” which have stalled in many states, but the ALI’s “findings may carry tremendous weight in U.S. courts.”  “Even before its formal publication, the report had been cited in more than 100 law review articles and two dozen court decisions.”  Despite some 35 state legislatures having passed laws to define and defend marriage as between a man and a woman, the ALI has hardwired “gay marriage” onto American life through the courts. 

The ALI’s principal author, Arizona State University, law professor Ira Mark Ellman, said the goal was to “close holes in family law that have left judges guessing as to how to deal with nontraditional families.”  That is interesting since the ALI created the non-traditional family in law.  It’s time for law to catch up with human progress.  Doesn’t law mean fixed in all languages?

In 1955, the ALI paved the way for “non-traditional families” by disparaging fathers.  Citing to Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948), legal elites parroted Kinsey claim that 95% of American males were sex offenders under the then current state penal laws and 52 laws protecting marriage needed to be changed to reflect “normal” human behavior.  The ALI recommended legalizing no-fault divorce and decriminalizing fornication, cohabitation, sodomy, etc. 

If you can’t pass the laws in the legislature, then the courts have to become a legislature.  In 1955, Columbia law professor Herbert Wechsler, the ALI’s principal author, boasted of the ALI’s work, as private entity, on a Model Penal Code; “we mean to act as if we were a legislative commission, charged with construction of an ideal penal code.”[5]  Misrepresented to state legislative bodies as simply “clarification” and “revision” of the common law based on objective “scientific pursuit,” the influential ALL model code served as a guide to legislatures as laws, many in place since statehood, were eliminated and/or penalties lighten thus removing protections for women and children from violence and poverty.

To mobilize the local legal rank and file in their advocacy for the new law code’s sex offense section, in 1948 ACLU lawyer Morris Ernst, called upon “every bar association in the country” to “establish a Committee on the Laws of Sexual Behavior and consider its own State’s legal system in this field…to adjust our laws to the growth of scientific knowledge and the changing needs of the people.[6]  Ernst comments further:  “[N]o bar association, law school journal, or lawyers’ committee can consider laws . . . on sexual matters without reference to the Kinsey study. Kinsey’s first volume ended an era…[7]”

At a time when sodomy was illegal and an “unnatural” act in all state penal codes, Kinsey was the ALI’s stellar authority to recommend that sodomy laws be eliminated because it was, he claimed, quite “normal.”  Section 207.5 of the Model Penal Code (1955) addresses “Sodomy and Related Offenses,” Kinsey is cited 9 times in the main text and in Apendix A to section 207.5 is entitled “Frequency of Sexual Deviation,” and consists of 21 quotations, 19 of which are taken from Kinsey’s book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.  In 1997 Kinsey was exposed as not the average married mid-western academic Indiana University represented him to be, but rather a sado-masochist sodomite with sexual appetites difficult for the University to conceal in order to protect propriety, prestige and the large Rockefeller grants and taxpayer support for the state’s premier university. 

Kinsey’s research was advocacy also.  At a presentation at the 5^th World Congress of Sexuality in 1981, Dr. Judith Reisman drew from Sexual Behavior in the Human Male to prove Kinsey’s use of pedophiles in gathering sexuality data on children, some as young as 2 months of age.  To add insult to injury, his data were cooked too: Of the 5,300 white males in Kinsey’s sample 2,446 were convicts, 946 homosexuals and the rest an assortment of people categorized as boys, transvestites, special homosexuals and mentally ill leaving a total of 4,628 who were not easily not “normal.”  This is the data upon which Kinsey declared 95% of American males sex offenders.  No surprise. 

Deconstruct the American family beginning in 1955 with the Model Penal Code, culminated within the past 12 months.  Courts have ruled that a gay person is entitled to adopt a partner's child, and that a homosexual who is not the biological parent of a child can be forced to pay child support after separating from a partner.  These are relations, but not in a family sort of way.  This latest ALI edict thwarts the legislative efforts to secure marriage, but don’t miss the planned obsolescence of Mothers and Fathers based on Alfred Kinsey’s tortured sado-masochistic view of the family.  Fade family into the background.  Gone the old notions of generations, “the act of begetting, a single succession in natural descent, as the children of the same parents; hence an age, a family, a race.”[8]  Enter Brave New World.
