I never doubted that was the reason behind Roe v. Wade.
In conversations with both Democrats and "progressive" Republicans, because I'm white, they've felt comfortable telling me that even though they consider abortion a sin, it's necessary because "those people" reproduce so much.
It's something a lot of us knew, but Ginsburg just put it out on the table, assuming this article is accurate.

perhaps i am odd but i got the impression she meant parasites. the ones who live on govt aid, welfare, medicaid. the ones who wind up in prison being supported by tax payers. i did not think it was about a particular race.

Once upon a time, and I was a blond, green-eyed kid. Wonder if the green eyes would have done me in? Naa, it worked fine.
I didn’t know where your Ginsberg gif was or would have posted it. She is sick, perhaps all her inner feelings are coming out now!

I can’t believe she would say that; but she is a product of affirmative action; so I believe she would say it.

Except that Ginsburg will be gone before long and there will be another Sotomayor type in the makeup. Perhaps evil as the next one may be - they will like blonds, lol.

The WND quotes are rather misleading. She goes on to say she realized her perception(about Roe v Wade) was wrong.Not misleading at all. The excerpts above clearly state this.
The point is she had this perception and still supported abortion prior to the 1980 Harris ruling.

She was ascribing to the authors of the Roe decision such a view but realized by 1980 when they sustained the Hyde amendment blocking use of Medicare funds for abortion that she had been wrong in ascribing such motives to them. Your interpretation is technically correct.
At the same time, from her quote, it is evident that she didn't have a problem the Roe decision being eugenically driven. But she did have a problem with McRae, which countered that perception.
She wasn't troubled, in the least, by her initial interpretation.

I considered that too but Ginsburg could have said the following, so many different ways:
Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.
Not growth in populations that, say, segments of society don't want too many of, she said "populations WE don't want to have too many of.

I think she’s saying something quite different than what this article makes out. If you read the NYT interview, it is more clear that she thought that abortion would be covered under Medicaid because the prevailing thinking at the time was that our culture wanted fewer of certain people.
She was basically pleasantly surprised that the court didn’t cater to that supposed cultural sentiment.
