Source of members names: From 1930 until 1990 members' names were published in the Society journal as they joined or became fellows. These sources are shown as a journal abbreviation followed by the year in which the person entered the Society, e.g., ER 1942. (ER = Eugenics Review; Bulletin of the Eugenics Society; B&S = Biology and Society). The Eugenics Review at times listed all the officers and members of the council. These sources are also shown as a journal abbreviation followed by a date. The Society is a corporation and its directors are listed in its annual reports deposited in Company House (CH). In 1937 the Society published a list of members in its Annual Report (ESAR 1937). In 1957 the Society published a list of members in the Eugenics Review (ER 1957). A list of members compiled in 1977 was deposited in the Welcome Archives (1977 list). Deaths of members were sometimes noted in obituaries in the Society journals (Obit + journal abbreviation and date). Other sources are as specified.

Quotes:
"Whenever the law tries to suppress both abortion and contraception, the effect appears to be to swell the abortion rate. Thus in France, with about the same population as Britain, the minimum estimate of the number of abortions is 250,000 a year, against our figure of just over 100,000 (IPPF Medical Bulletin 6, 4, Aug 1972) ... Italy is estimated to have as many abortions as births (The Guardian, 7 Oct 1971); ... most Latin American countries one abortion for every two to five pregnancies. ("Abortion: a World Survey" IPPF News 216, March 1972)", from Family Planning January 1973 (by 1990 the British rate of abortion had reached this "Latin American" rate)
"Charity" begins abroad:
Claimed that "Increasingly the commercial sector is having to make its money by attracting foreign women, like the 30,000 who came last year." p 81, Family Planning 1973 (the BPAS was receiving clients from the Ulster Pregnancy Advisory Association and from France at the time this statement was made.)
Sterilisation:
" BPAS charged 105 British pounds for a man and 300 British pounds for a woman in Feb. 1992 (from Parents, Feb. 1992)
Lafitte's Dream:
Hunting Down the English "for eugenicists ... our broad strategy must be, by general measures to encourage healthy parenthood in all classes, and by specific measures, to hunt out individuals who are undesirable as parents ... (by) ... personal casework ... (The job of hunting out to be done by) ... social workers and doctors ... trained in ... human heredity ... when more is known", from "Family Allowances and Eugenics" by Lafitte in ER July 1941, p. 69-70
Good Germans Needed in 1941:
When German aliens were interned at the start of World War II, Lafitte complained that "2,000 people (from some of whom the Eugenics Review would have welcomed contributions) were herded into a derelict rat-infested ... factory ... we shall have need of good Germans" (from a review of The Internment of Aliens. 1940 by Richard Titmuss q.v., ER Jan. 1941, p. 136)
Background: Lafitte's Dream Come True
from Diane Munday, BPAS PR person: "I emphasize the stupidity of the suggestion that BPAS should provide the full range of alternatives to abortion. BPAS is unashamedly an Abortion and Fertility Control providing service." (quoted by Jill Knight in Hansard 13 Dec. 1979 according to ALDU Newsletter No. 6, 1980. Lafitte was BPAS chairman at this time.)
