It's Not Just Obamacare: Gruber Says Abortion Is a Social Good
CNS News ^ | 11/25/2014 | Dustin Siggins

Posted on 11/25/2014 10:01:35 AM PST by Rusty0604

Over the last three weeks, MIT professor and Affordable Care Act (ACA) architect Jon Gruber has gone from being an academic, known mostly in policy circles, to the face of political dishonesty and manipulation. Gruber, who helped create and sell the ACA to the American people, has been caught on tape admitting – on multiple occasions – that the law was written to mislead the public.

But that's not all that he's done. As originally reported by Jerome Corsi, Gruber is the author of at least two separate reports arguing that legalized abortion has tremendous social benefit. His work also provided some of the foundation for the 2005 book, Freakonomics, which promoted the idea of abortion as a means of improving society's children.

In a 1997 working paper, Gruber and two co-authors argued that "children born immediately after" the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision saw "improved" lives.

Gruber's work wasn't just seen by academics. The 2005 book Freakonomics – co-authored by another supporter of abortion as a social good, Steven Levitt – took its abortion section from Levitt's 2001 paper, "The Impact of Abortion on Crime," which argued that legalized abortion was responsible for a lower crime rate in the 1990s. And Gruber's work greatly influenced that paper.

Yeah. We know. It's the liberals way of keeping the black population in check. All they need is enough of them to win an election.

abortion as a means of improving society's children.

Blond hair and blue eyed children only? History DOES repeat itself.

His support of legalized abortion is based on the idea that the "right" people would get aborted. He doesn't figure himself to be in the wrong people class. It's like the socialists who want to distribute OTHER people's money. We know how Gruber is on charginf what the socialist market will bear.

“No need for more proof that Gruber is of the devil.”

It isn’t proof of that, unfortunately.

It IS dispositive proof that Gruber thinks that blacks are human weeds. Most of the children aborted in the US are black. As an economist, he knows this, and this was his published conclusion on the matter.

Moreover, this paper suggests that more abortion makes even better communities. The more ‘wanted’ children there are in a community, the more likely crime will be down, grades will be up, and spending on social programs will be down.

More abortion means more black babies dead.

That the GOP doesn’t shove this grenade up the donkey’s keester is beyond me. What’s it going to take? Lincoln freest them, Democrats did their level best to kill the Civil Rights bill, then LBJ sets them up on the free government cheese and entire generations of black people wiped off the earth.

What’s it going to take for the GOP to hire someone that knows how to speak to people through the media?

He’s a Nazi. Just like all the dems. All vote for abortion every time they vote.

Many years ago, on The Mark Belling Late Afternoon Show (Milwaukee radio 1130am WISN, Mark subs for Rush),,,anyway Mark said that when dealing with Dems, one must realize that at their core they support killing helpless infants in the mother’s womb. So no lesser crime against humanity bothers them in the least. Vote fraud? Ha! It’s a fun game for them. Looting, burning, murder, rape, robbing old ladies(85 year old was robbed in broad daylight in a grocery parking lot last week 20 miles from here), stealing(Mike Brown stealing cigars and roughing up the store owner), battery (Mike Brown assaulting Officer Wilson while Wilson was in his squad car),,,etc.

Nothing bothers them.

They love abortion. That is the most evil thing there is.

Gruber.

Would have made an excellent servant of Hitler. He is serving the regime of his time, the Obama Regime, in true Nazi fashion.

Wonder how he’d feel about being retroactively aborted?

One of the marks of the devil is to make you not notice him.

Alinsky got all his agitators to "look like" regular people so as not to gain attention to the true motive.

Why? Because they can get a lot more done when know one is noticing.

That my friends is the essence of the Mystery of Iniquity.

‘Social Justice’ is just the ‘Politically Correct’ way to ‘promote’ anti-Americanism.

From the article:

Newsbusters found a strong link tying Gruber to the current effort to provide ACA health benefits to illegal immigrants – analysis and data provided by Gruber that could lead to Joe Wilson’s “You lie” cry in 2009 being totally and completely justified.

How is this relevant to Gruber’s pro-abortion argument? Nearly half of illegal immigrants have not graduated from high school, and their median income is 28% lower than that of native-born Americans, according to this brief from 2012.

In other words, it seems that Gruber – and President Obama, and HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell, who previously headed worldwide population control efforts for the Gates Foundation – think that babies born to poor American mothers aren’t worth the alleged “cost” because they tend to be less educated and poorer. But if you’re born somewhere else, come on in!
