Progressives were a pretty clearly identifiable force in US politics for much of the early 20th century. And many of those same people were fundamental in the formation of the environmental movement including the anti-nuke, pro-eugenics crowd. Later went on an anti-GMO as well. Whenever somebody quotes population control quotes from people associated with that movement these facts should be pointed out. Specially if it is in the 'referent' ton that indicates a willingness to support the same kinds of polices. To be clear I'm not taking about everything that one means when saying the word 'Progressive' now. As that term is pretty watered down by now. In general when talking about broad political and social moments its hard to come up with who 'exactly' they are.
