The 1916 Project: The Lyin’, The Witch and the War We’re In

by Seth Gruber

Do you look around at our country, our culture, and

"HOW DID WE GET HERE?"

The 1916 Project unearths the how and why of our "progressive" culture shift. In 1916, the founder of Planned Parenthood opened her first clinic that launched America into a moral revolution that would have far-reaching consequences worldwide. Seth traces a direct path from Planned Parenthood to the Nazis to the current Democratic Party. Along the way, he makes stops in unexpected places, like the offices of Playboy magazine, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and an ancient altar dedicated to the god Molech. The connections will shock you-perhaps even anger you-but you will not be the same after learning the truth. And if you've ever struggled to articulate your pro-life convictions against the onslaught of woke propaganda, this book will help you shatter every liberal lie you've ever been told. Fair once you understand what's really happening, there's no turning back.

"Seth Gruber is the leading voice of the pro-life movement. The 1916 Project is shaking the foundations of hell. I believe the battle for the lives of the unborn will define the future of the United States of America. And, in these Last Days, this book may very well be the thing God uses to awaken His church from her slumber and finally end the genocide of babies.
If there's one pro-life book you read, make sure it's this one!"
-Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

"The 1916 Project is everything the church needs to know about how this evil and sinister culture of death was created. I wish someone like Seth had written this book in the 1970s and discovered all of the dirty little secrets about the sexual revolution we're dealing with today. This book is the wake-up call we need as a sleeping church! Read it now and join us in the fight!"
-Kirk Cameron, Actor and Television Host

"Seth Gruber is one of the most important pro-life voices in America. This book lays out the path toward abolishing abortion. Read it to find out how."
-Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point USA

Astounding, and disturbing. I raced through this and felt like I'd gotten massively "red-pilled," as they say in the Matrix. I had absolutely no idea the depth and intricacy of the connections between Sanger, the Third Reich, eugenics, Darwinism, and cultural Marxism, nor how such disparate ideas could all be interconnected... but they are, in astonishing ways. What these all have in common, as Gruber points out, is that they all stem from man's attempt to get back to the Garden of Eden on his own terms, to create a utopia without redemption.

Thomas Sowell pointed out in "A Conflict of Visions" that what truly separates conservatives from liberals is the concept of original sin. If you believe that mankind is inherently sinful, you'll create a system designed to keep that sin nature in check. If you believe that mankind is inherently good, then man should be able to create heaven on earth, through legislation, social justice, redistribution of wealth, etc. Or maybe through taking "survival of the fittest" to its logical conclusion (if you believe there is no God, why not?). The original "follow the science" (to its logical end) was the foundation of the eugenics that inspired the Third Reich... and they borrowed it from America, from Sanger and her compatriots.

This is a tough book to read, and I wouldn't recommend it right before bed, I'll tell you that much. But it's important, and it explains a lot.

A truly horrifying pulling back of the curtain regarding the origin, ongoing mantra, and ungodly agenda of Planned Parenthood and the subsequent radical movements that followed. I recommend this digestible overview to anyone looking to understand where the spiritual battle lines are drawn. Of note is the unashamedly eugenics-based foundation to Planned Parenthood specifically, and the sexual revolution more broadly. Eye opening.

Gruber is arguably and justifiably angered by the reality of abortion in America. He exposes the realities of where abortion started and its roots to racism, the eugenics movement, and connection to the Natzis. Not to mention PP’s push to provide pornographic sex education in schools.

Gruber encourages the church to wake up and not shy away from politics. And what a conviction that was for me, even as someone who works in the pro-life world.

Going into this book I was a little hesitant. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Seth Gruber speak, and while he 100% speaks truth, his shock value can greatly offend people…which is justifiably why he can be controversial in the pro-life world. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this book.

If you are a Christian, I encourage you to read this book and be encouraged as to why remaining silence isn’t the answer anymore. (Just please don’t hold up signs of dead babies and tell women they will go to hell and think this will ever change anyone’s mind about abortion. It just pushes them closer to PP).

If you aren’t a Christian, this book is a great tool to at least understand the roots of abortion and build a deeper understanding of why you believe what you do - whether pro-choice or pro-life.

How does one begin to wade through a book like this? As a pastor, and someone who is unashamedly pro-life, this book is really a tough one for me to rate. I'll attempt to do my best by offering a Good, Bad, and Ugly section of review.

Good:
Gruber is clearly all-in and fully understands not just the task at hand in America when it comes to the number of babies murdered every year, but its foundational roots as well. I walked away with a better understanding of the roots of many of the philosophies and world views that contribute to the current modern day secular humanist view of abortion.
I was also deeply encouraged by the stories that Gruber retold of faithful men and women through the last several hundred years who stood for the right to life for the unborn.

Bad:
This is tough for me, because Gruber is clearly writing with a goal to stir emotions and to give a call to action. While I am sympathetic to this, and even think that there is a place for this, this led to multiple moments where his point was missed or clouded because he was being overly sensational, or simply trying to hit a zinger. It led me to feel like I was watching a Charlie Kirk debate video on YouTube that was clearly edited to make one side the victor and another intellectually inferior. Again, this may even have a place in this fight, but it felt overdone and self-serving throughout the book. This detracted from a lot of the information that Gruber was attempting to serve the reader.

Ugly:
This is the part where I would be unable to recommend this book to anyone and am honestly seriously frustrated by this book in general. Chapter Six, "Woke as Wolves," is some of the most uncharitable, unkind, and unchristian behavior by a professed follower of Christ that I have ever seen in a written format. Specifically, Gruber attacks two people: the late Tim Keller, and former NIH director and professed Christian, Francis Collins. I will address his handling of each person individually, but clearly Gruber has some type of personal vendetta against these two men that I find to be distasteful and unbecoming of a professing follower of Jesus.
*Francis Collins - Gruber spends a large amount of time blaming Collins for the NIH and all of its connections to research with fetal tissue and organs. This is an easy accusation to lob, but anyone that understands the inner workings of government organizations and research knows that this issue is far more complex than the way in which it was presented by Gruber. I am not sure whether Collins is implicitly responsible for some of the accusations Gruber lodges (strangely he goes on a tirade connecting Collins to the COVID-19 pandemic), but I do know that there wasn't nearly enough research or information given so that the readers can come to an informed conclusion. Then, Gruber does something that I find to be egregious. On page 118 Gruber states: "Francis Collins is not a Christian." Gruber makes the grave error of ignoring Jesus Himself in Matthew 7:1-5, which warns disciples of Christ to be careful in their making of judgments, as they will be judged in the same way. With Gruber's line of thinking, I could easily make the same claim of him because of his uncharitable spirit and blatant misrepresentation of of others (specifically Keller who I will get to in a minute). Either way, Gruber is well within his rights to question Collins and even call for a deeper investigation into some of these issues, but to call Collins an unbeliever for his actions is uncalled for and damages his credibility when it comes to other matters in the book.
*Tim Keller - Gruber goes on a tirade against Keller for 7 pages for being a "hypocrite and coward" (pg. 105). His "smoking gun" argument against Keller stems from an article Keller wrote in 1999 for Christianity Today. In the article, Keller recalls the story of a woman in his church who came to faith and later approached him about his views on abortion. He tells her he thought abortion was wrong, and she states that she now agrees, but would not have when she first visited Redeemer. She states that she is thankful that the church did not blatantly push this worldview, because it would have pushed her away, but now that she has come to know Christ she agrees. Now, setting aside whether you agree with Keller's view on dealing with cultural issues, Keller's point in the article is that it is more important to push people to the Gospel, not morality, because the Gospel leads to true change, while morality enslaves.
Gruber responds to Keller's article with some of the most uncharitable and blatant misrepresentation of Keller's position possible. On page 102 Gruber states: "But Keller is saying we should not address moral behaviors at all." Not only is this not true, Keller does in fact take positions, and his track record shows this. Keller does not say that Pastors/Churches should not take moral Biblical positions, but that it should not be their primary purpose, and that instead they should boldly proclaim the Gospel, and allow the Spirit to do the work of changing hearts not just legislation and proclaiming morality. Whether you agree with Keller's position or not does not matter. What matters is that Gruber intentionally misrepresents Keller here. How do I know? The very story that Gruber shares states that when the woman came to talk to Keller she asked him "Do you think abortion is wrong?" Keller responds that he did. THAT IS TAKING A MORAL STAND. It may not be the type of moral stand or action that you want, but it is still standing for the truth.
To intentionally slander and misrepresent someone else to prove some point you believe that too many pastors are woke and capitulating to culture is not only gross but a violation of 9th commandment to not bear false witness against another. I am fine with Gruber believing that Keller's way of engaging in cultural issues is insufficient, but that argument should be made honestly, and Gruber does not. Instead, he personally attacks a deceased man and lies about his position and record.

When taken in sum, there are many people who do wonderful work for the unborn and helping protect the most vulnerable. I would encourage people in that direction, and away from Gruber and his organization as his use of rhetoric and sensationalism is not becoming of a follower of Jesus.

Very informative. Very hard read.

[Chadrick Lind · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seth does an amazing job showing how the culture has been influenced by the insane ideas of Margaret Sanger and her leftist cult that produced planned parenthood and even influenced Hitler and the Nazi party. He reveals the lefts ideological system is intricately tied together, void of God and rooted in death. He also shows biblically how all of these things aren’t anything new but that there have been ways in which Satan has deceived and controlled people all throughout history and that the church is at it’s best when it fights against these satanic ideals. This book, as well as the documentary, was a wake up call for me and should be a wake up call to any Christian that silence is not an option. Anyone who reads this book will come away convinced that the leftist agenda is a battle that the church (especially pastors and leaders) must engage.

Before writing my review, I decided to check out the one-star reviews on Amazon. Well, I have to tell you, they are biased and plain wrong. This book is NOT right-wing propaganda. It is well researched, well written, and right on point. It clearly unveils the truth behind the collapse we see within our society today. An excellent read. If you are pro-life, you should read this book. If you are pro-choice you need to read this book. Highly recommended. If you only read one book this year, make it this book.

Gave some really good insight on abortion. I learned a lot and let’s just say my mortification has doubled. Seth Gruber has done a lot of research and I feel so bad he read all of those disgusting books to research this topic, literally just describing what some of these books are about made me want to puke.

There’s a far greater correlation between abortion and Margaret Sanger, Baal and Molech, etc, Alfred Kinsey, and the sexual revolution than I realized. If you want to learn more about abortion and how to combat it in your own community then I recommend reading this

[Andres Morales · Rating 5 out of 5]

To understand the present, we must first understand the past.
This book was a true eye-opener, tracing the historical roots of Planned Parenthood and connecting them to modern perspectives on abortion. It offers a thought-provoking look at how past ideologies continue to shape current debates.

While there’s a clear Christian undertone throughout, it primarily serves to emphasize a moral call to action: when evil goes unchecked, speaking out isn’t enough. The author encourages readers to move beyond words—to stand firm in their convictions and engage in meaningful activism against injustice.

[Ginger Davenport · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this book no matter what side of the abortion argument you fall on. The connections between Margaret Sanger and the Third Reich, Marxism and eugenics will shock you. The author provides direct quotes from Sanger expressing her desire to eliminate the “inferior people of the world”. It’s absolutely disgusting and disturbing. Everyone needs to be aware of this history especially Christians.

[Jacob · Rating 1 out of 5]

⭐️ 0.5 stars

If your goal is to fight America’s cultural and spiritual decline primarily through political means, this book will resonate with you. But if you believe true change begins in the heart—through the gospel—then this book falls short, and sometimes dangerously so.

The most troubling moment comes when Gruber blatantly misrepresents a pastor immediately after quoting him. For example, he quotes Tim Keller saying that the gospel must come before moral transformation—then turns around and accuses Keller of punting on morality. How does that contradiction go unnoticed by the author?

This isn’t just a one-off issue. It reflects the book’s broader pattern: using shock value and political fervor to stir action, rather than presenting a biblically rooted vision of cultural change. The gospel—the only true source of heart-level transformation—is mostly absent. In its place is a call to political revolution dressed in Christian language.

To be clear, I agree with many of Gruber’s moral conclusions: abortion is evil, Hitler was evil, Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood have a deeply troubling history and are evil, and Darwin’s legacy has had damaging effects. But I strongly disagree with the approach. Changing laws may be necessary, but without the gospel, it will never be enough.

This book left me saddened—not just because I disagreed, but because it missed the one thing that could actually bring about the change it longs for.

[Steve · Rating 4 out of 5]

If it had not been for a very long-term friend sending me a copy of this eye-opening expose, I would have never heard of either Seth Gruber or the 1916 Project.

Not to be confused with the 1916 Project, as Gruber explains in his opening chapter, the 1619 Project was meant to “reframe American history by considering what it would mean to regard 1619 as our nation’s birth year.” Gruber goes on to describe a social engineering and history revision plan that “praises abortion, socialism, defunding the police, revoking the right to bear arms and reparations. Conservatives are blamed for pushing racism into every facet of American culture.” In short, Gruber’s purpose in publishing this provocative wake-up call is to “uncover the hidden history and agenda of the progressive perversion sweeping across the United States and the world.” (Incidentally, Gruber’s title refers to the date the first abortion clinic was opened which “launched America into a moral revolution that would have far-reaching consequences worldwide.”)

Early on in his printed documentary, Gruber cites Planned Parenthood and BLM, Inc. among the “network of unaffiliated yet fundamentally aligned institutions and associations hell-bent on remaking America into a secular, humanist, and socialist state.” Gruber explains that network includes this nation’s legacy media, its schools, its Wall Street banks, and Fortune 500 companies. Those wishing to infiltrate the U.S. schools and bureaucracies to transform them into Marxist entities are using a so-called “strategy of the robes” to capture our courts, our clergy, the academies, and scientific institutions. In moving the USA toward universal egalitarianism, author Gruber reports the “robe strategy” has worked.

Gruber uses his second chapter as “an evidence board with pins and strings” to connect Margaret Sanger “to all manner of foul creatures.” Gruber demonstrates how Sanger, Charles Darwin, and Adolf Hitler “form something of an unholy trinity, a united front of depravity and death.” Gruber suggests that “there is a straight line from Darwin’s evolutionary theory to Sanger’s eugenics-laden assault on families and communities.” In addition, Gruber notes, there is another straight line from Sanger and other American progressives to the horrors of Auschwitz. In short, Gruber writes, “The modern progressive movement would not exist if it were not for the unholy trinity of Darwin, Sanger and Hitler.” The author explains that Darwin “made it fashionable to treat one’s neighbor as an animal,” while Hitler “showed what that looks like in its most extreme form.” Between Darwin and Hitler, Sanger “made the twisted gospel of freedom from God” so palatable, that even self-identified Christians are now wiling to slaughter their own children.

Citing God’s instructions to Gideon as recorded in the sixth chapter of Judges, to tear down an altar to Baal and the Asherah pole next to it, author Gruber suggests that the altar and the pole were symbols of child sacrifice and sexual perversion. Seeing the culture of Judges 6 as the same as today, Gruber writes that “the two pagan sacraments of our society in 21st Century America are also child sacrifice and sexual perversion. The author suggests that “it should come as no surprise that the number one provider of child sacrifice services in America today, (Planned Parenthood), is also the number one provider of the pornographic (curriculum), Comprehensive Sexuality Education in America’s public schools.”

In his sixth chapter, Gruber comes down hard on several evangelical Christian leaders who the author identifies as being “woke as wolves.” Focusing on the former director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, Gruber is not afraid to name names of those who supported Collins following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gruber notes that “several Christian leaders---all of the same ilk---lent their platforms to Collins.” He explains that those men of faith “vouched for Collins, celebrated his work, heralded him as a brother in Christ, and used their authority and credibility to push his health directives onto their unsuspecting followers.”

In their alleged effort to gain respectability in the right circles, Gruber charges that the late Pastor Tim Keller, Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Russell Moore, Ed Stetzer, David French, N.T. Wright and many more, “all partnered, praised, and platformed a man who should be referred to as the Josef Mengele of this generation.” The author boldly claims that “Francis Collns is not a Christian, not a man of integrity, not a national treasure and not committed to the human good.” In fact, Gruber charges, Collins “is a supervillain, a swindler, and one of the architects of our current culture of death.” The fact that Keller, Warren, Moore, Stetzer, French, Wright, and others “cannot or refuse to see (Collins in that way), should tell (us) everything (we) need to know about them.”

Why is Gruber’s book one you should read? As the founder of the White Rose Resistance, (a non-profit organization dedicated to combatting the pervasive poison of the American abortion industry), Gruber points out, “once a society decides some segment of the population is no longer fully human, the evil will only steamroll until more and more groups are added to the list of undesirables.” If you want a glimpse of what is wrong with the soul of America, indeed the soul of the world, Gruber’s call for action against the culture of death is a must read.

This book left me speechless while also fueling multiple hours long conversations. I have been listening to Seth Gruber's podcast for a few months now and was so excited to finally read this book. One of the major takeaways was how much I was lied to and taught such evil things in school growing up. I would have vastly benefited from learning all of this in my history classes as a teenager. I bought into the abortion propaganda for so long, even if deep down I thought it was wrong I bent the knee to all that was shoved at my face. I remember sitting through sex-ed portions of school and now learning the history of Planned Parenthood funneling these teachings to create customers later in life, it’s so obvious. This book was much too short. I needed about 5 more chapters on Sanger and her wicked intertwining in culture today. The only comfort I have is she had to meet her maker and give an account to her disgusting views of sex and the life of the unborn. I read this on my kindle and had 354 highlights. I feel like I am still processing so much of the information but man did it light a fire in my heart to the injustice of abortion. I pray to see the abolition of this pagan practice in this country and pray that we are forgiven for having become much too comfortable and often approving of this practice as a way of modern life. The book also digs deep on the issues of the LGBTQ community and how Sanger also had a major role in that. Gruber discusses Alfred Kinsey who should be public enemy number one even in death. I also wish there were more chapters on that because it really connects to the culture war we face today. I highly recommend this book, most importantly to Christians, but to anyone wanting to ask questions and poke holes through the lies of progressive talking points on abortion.


I must say I highly disagree with Gruber’s view and opinion of Lot. It was even a bit comical I think? He says in chapter 9, “You can be saved but not salty. You can make it into the kingdom by the hair on your bum” in reference to Lot’s failure of protecting his family from the culture of Sodom and Gomorrah. While I do not disagree that Lot failed in some ways, the bible does call him a righteous man. Which Gruber does acknowledge in the same chapter stating, “He was a righteous man. Apparently, we’re going to meet him in heaven But what story is he going to tell at the marriage supper of the Lamb? I’ll tell you what it will be. He’ll say, “I gave my daughters to be raped by a mob, and God forgave me. By grace and grace alone”. Yeah… what? I think it;s a valid argument that Lot offerreing his daughters to a sick culture is like what many Christians are doing today. But just as Abraham was a liar, David an adulterer, and Paul a persecutor and murderer of Christians, they, as we, have all fallen short. Sometimes, extremely short. If our way into the kingdom is by our works, then, well, we wouldn’t enter it at all, not even by the hair on our bums. So yes, I fully agree that faith apart from works is dead (James 2:26). However, those works by no means are what makes us righteous since any righteousness we have is imputed. Another point I found controversial was Gruber naming Tim Keller as a wolf in sheep's clothing. I attended Redeemer Presbyterian for a few years as a teenager and so technically Keller was my pastor, though I never met him. So many of the recent admonitions of Keller I think are well founded. It was extremely disappointing to see how Keller engaged with cultural issues towards his final years. But I praise God that it is not by our hands that we gain our salvation, and not by our sins post redemption that we lose it. It is not a license to sin, nor an excuse for preachers to lead congregants astray. I feel as though we should hope that Keller repented and that Christ's work at the cross covered it all, even things Keller may not have realized were so wrong. We ought to also pray for the undoing of any error that Christians are holding on to today because of Keller's teachings or comments in the later years. On that glorious day when I enter into the next life into the arms of my savior, I do hope I will be able to rejoice with Lot and even possibly Tim Keller, and we will all rejoice in our savior and at the marriage supper of the Lamb all say “God forgave me, by grace and grace alone. Praise be to God”.

[Robert Koontz · Rating 1 out of 5]

The 1916 Project should be read as a call to action—a reality Gruber acknowledges in his introduction—designed to stir conservative American Christians' religious affections rather than contribute to a historiographic debate. Armed with a Christian worldview amid a backdrop of eschatological historiography, Gruber argues that accepted abortion practices in the United States represent a macabre culture of death and result from a planned, progressive revolution to erode America’s Christian founding that began with Margaret Sanger in 1916. Read in context, Seth Gruber does precisely what he intends. The 1916 Project instills a sense of incredulity and righteous anger that will undoubtedly recruit Christians to Gruber’s cause. However, as a work of scholarship, The 1916 Project lacks a unifying rational argument, instead relying on Biblical metaphors upon which not even all conservative evangelicals can agree. Rather than rebel against the spirit of the age with non-sequiturs, appeals to authority, and blatant ad hominem, future scholarship advocating for Gruber’s pro-life position would do well to pull the historical threads he offers more coherently while avoiding inciting prose that distracts from the argument. Only an intentional attempt to interact with and resolve grievances of works like “The 1619 Project” will effectively add to the historiographic debate on America’s abortion culture. Unfortunately, The 1916 Project detracts from rather than adds to this discussion.

Sadly, this book is a really quick read. By Sadly, it's due to the content. It's well written, fast-paced and doesn't leave you bored. It's just sad because it's sickening too. In case you don't know what this book is about, it's about abortion. But it's not just about abortion. It's also about the corruption of the minds of people and the depravity that society has descended into bit-by-bit. It's also a call to action by its author, Seth Gruber.

After Roe v. Wade sent the abortion decision back to the states, Seth Gruber, champion of the pre-born, launched the White Rose Resistance, an activist group with the intention to outlaw abortion. Yes, it is a book written by a Christian conservative, who if you give him a chance will lay down the history of Planned Parenthood in the US, its Eugenicist roots, the influence Margaret Sanger had on Hitler and his ilk, and also digs into the transgender ideology and how all the taboo topics, once forbidden, now unleashed in the world, are all tied together.

Get this book. Read this book. Buy this book for someone else. Get angry when you read this and use that anger to inspire you to commit to change. I wasn't a hardline anti-abortionist until I read this. There's no more convincing left to do. I'm either wicked, or I'm on the side of righteousness. There's no middle ground here.

I would label this as farce if I didn't know the author is completely serious. If you squint, there are some hints at facts, but they are completely obscured by hyperbole, extremist rhetoric, false equivalences, and outright lies. This is nothing more than propaganda from someone who has been brainwashed into an utterly frightening brand of Christofascism intended to rile up fellow Christian nationalists to be more and more unlike Christ by the day in the name of "saving the babies". (FYI, the Bible states clearly that life begins at birth and despite abortions being done during his time, we have no documentation that Jesus ever spoke on the subject.) The fact that someone could become so radicalized as to write this unapologetically is one of the truly scary aspects of what is going on in this country right now. What you won't find here, even if you squint, is anything remotely Christian or Christlike from someone claiming to be a self-avowed Christian doing "God's work". When someone starts a book by saying "I've been a pro-life activist since I was a fetus," you know you're getting a propaganda-filled book written from an extremist perspective that should not be taken seriously.

Tagging this as historical fiction, as that's the only applicable tag...and that's even a stretch...

This was the book I threw in my bag for my flight to DC. I was about 50% complete when I visited the US Holocaust Memorial Museum & my ticket stub became my bookmark. How appropriate.

The timing wasn’t a coincidence and neither was this: the most harrowing quote of the exhibit, the one I photographed & bought the fridge magnet for was in the 2nd half of this book. (Look up Martin Niemöller.)

We are living in the 2nd holocaust & it’s more deadly: abortion & infanticide.

I watched the 1916 project documentary, but this book double clicks down into it all - especially the eugenic & racist ties of the founding members, publications, boards, and spin offs of Planned Parenthood DIRECTLY to the Nazis & KKK. It’s like a spider web of connections. The media and some voices today claim some conservatives (and political rallies) are Nazi-esque, but what’s more true is that the abortion industry has actual ties and origin points in the actual Nazi party, “final solution” and targeted population control of minority and POC populations.

This book is sobering, in many places horrifying, and, ultimately, catalyzing.

As someone who has been pro-life my entire life, reading this showed me I knew nothing.

Highly recommend.

As I was reading this I kept thinking of that scene from, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" where Dr. Strange was in the apple orchard with Wanda and there were rows and rows of beautiful apple trees and she looked like a nice innocent woman. But then she slipped up and said something she shouldn't, and Dr. Strange realized that she wasn't so innocent. All of a sudden the beautiful orchard turned into a wicked one and Wanda turned into the Scarlet Witch.

So, that's basically our culture with Planned Parenthood. I want more people to understand that it was an organization built with the wicked idea of eugenics and hidden behind the line "reproductive healthcare". It's not what it seems. Read this book to learn more because it's important to see where we were and where we are heading.

This was a well researched book and I learned a lot. People are gross and I hope this little book gets into more hands!

This should be required reading in schools

This book was astounding, filled from beginning to end with information I didn’t know but am glad to know now. The history of Margaret Sanger is as evil as Hitler and should be taught in schools. We have normalized abortions as “women’s rights” and because of this, abortions have become routine for many women. Wouldn’t it be better for women’s rights to actually educate women on how to avoid pregnancy and give them more information on the history of the “quick fix” of abortion? But then, that might be difficult because sex of any kind has been normalized for our children at young ages.

I am going to recommend this book to a male family member that staunchly defends abortion but doesn’t know any of the history (as I didn’t) and doesn’t believe third trimester abortions are actually performed. Because he considers himself a Christian, I’m praying that his mind will be changed, or at the least, enlightened.

[Lauren Terwilliger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book unearths the tidal wave of momentous evil that began with Margaret Sanger back in 1916 and has catalyzed into the seemingly unstoppable Planned Parenthood behemoth it is today. I was shocked, disturbed, and disgusted by the truths shared in this book, especially the blatant ties American “progressive thought leaders” had to the Nazi party’s eugenics movement under Hitler as well as the circular revenue streams Planned Parenthood has through all of its perverse “programs”.

For too long, Christians in America have been silent on this horrific issue. It is time for believers to stand up for what is right and push back against the evil of abortion. Let us not say, “Then, they came for the unborn babies, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t [the mother or father of] an unborn baby…”

[Tammy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. I’ve watched the documentary but this is a must read too. So much information that is connected red in a way to see how evil abortion is and anything associated. Most low level minions believe their lies.

This has been all about turning a nation a way from God to justify their hedonistic lifestyles. There is never a need to abort a baby. NEVER. It’s time we start opening people’s eyes to how this is destroying the bedrock of our society.

May we all find our sea legs and stand firm righteousness and truth that the White Rose Resistance sacrifice will have been worth it,

Seth Gruber is a natural story teller and it is a book that is hard to read and hard to put down. So thankful for this book that makes the information so accessible!

The Author has done his homework. I found the book very informative. Especially about Margaret Sanger as the founder of Planned Parenthood. I knew she was a proponent of eugenics, but didn't realize many other things about her and her influence on Hitler. The only thing I didn't like were some of his snarky comments. I was hoping to find a well-written, persuasive book to maybe pass along to a few friends who watch mainstream news uncritically. But I think the author's smart-aleck comments would turn most of them off. Probably a more enjoyable read for people who are already politically conservative.

This book was difficult to absorb both for the descriptive brutality associated with the abortion industry and for the passivity and ignorance that positioned us to normalize such practices. Margaret Sanger is the founder of Planned Parenthood. As a eugenicist, her ties to Nazi exterminations are astounding. This book reveals horrifying details about viral experiments and vaccine development.

Seth writes in a way that is engaging. He doesn’t mince words and won’t allow you to easily slip back in to passivity on these issues. It’s a call to take action and “be salt”.

The 1916 Project is an important book for every pro-choice person to read in order to understand the other side. It’s an important book for progressive Christians to read when they don’t like abortion but don’t want to impose their beliefs on others.

If you are already a pro-life advocate, the background of the abortion movement and the physiology of an abortion will inform your discussions and, more importantly, give you a reason to take action and how to get involved.

The 1916 Project is a super informative, well-researched book. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would.

Every Christian needs to read this now. Or watch the documentary. Or listen to his podcast for about a month and most of these topics will be covered a bit. But it was so great to read instead of listen because it provides a better scope and sequence. He is a great writer. Not all podcasters can turn around and write a great book, but this book is fire just like his speeches. The American church needs to wake up and this was a fantastic call to do just that. All the receipts are here and the chart included was very helpful. Buy it, read it, pass it on.

I would give this 4 stars for the writing style, but my husband tells me that this is just the way most political books are written. So, there’s that.
As far as the content goes… HOLY COW THE ABORTION INDUSTRY HAS SOME DEEEEEEEP AND EEEEVIL ROOTS!
I mean, all the info and history packed into this book is just mind boggling. It makes you want to punch the people who think killing babies is ok in the mouth. Not really, but you wish they would read this and see where it all started and see how dang evil it all is.

A great book to read about what has and continues to go on in America. The beginning of Planned Parenthood since 1916 and the lies, witch and the war we face today. The book is about the pro life movement, Covid 19 and the experimental use of fetus parts to develop vaccines. The shift of good is bad and bad is good in our society. Standing up before it is too late. Also, quite an interesting eye-opening story about church and pastors of the past and current and their involvement in the lies and unwillingness to speak up.
