Five years ago, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the most fascinating thing in a candid interview with Sunday New York Times Magazine reporter Emily Bazelon:
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we dont want to have too many of."
People who arent as gung-ho about the snuffing out of young life as your typical mainstream media journalist noted this interview and discussed the deep ties of abortion and birth control to the progressive eugenics movement.
In 1992, Ron Weddington, co-counsel in the Roe v. Wade case, wrote a letter to President-elect Clinton, imploring him to rush RU-486 a.k.a. the abortion pill to market as quickly as possible. (Y)ou can start immediately to eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country, Weddington insisted. All the president had to do was make abortion cheap and easy for the populations we dont want.
I thought of all this when I read through another interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. You know how you have friends who complain about a super-old relative who just starts spouting racist stuff and cant be quieted down?
Anyway, in an interview with Elle, she says her kid and grandkid dont get how awful it would be to not have legal approval for snuffing out ones growing baby in the womb. And then when shes trying to say that protections for unborn children hurt poor women more than wealthy women since wealthy women can just pay the baby away, she lets that old eugenics thing slip again:
"It makes no sense as a national policy to promote birth only among poor people."

The Left squeals any other time someone says that poor people should live within their means, but not here apparently.
I’ve been married a ling time. Might have been seen as attractive at one point. Now I’m just an old curmudgeon.
I think there’s more white folks on welfare than black, IIRC.
Best wishes!
Racist!
I suppose this makes me a racist by pointing this out, but though the actual numbers of blacks on welfare is only about 1 percent more than whites, since whites are 72 percent of the population, blacks are over-represented in the welfare rolls.

Don’t know if you’re racist or not. Not enough information.
However I would say illogical.
If you cruised all the welfare offices for chicks you would have more white than black chicks to choose from. The % of the race on welfare does not compare to the total population of the pool.
So your anecdotal evidence trumps the “illogical” data from the US Census, the US Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the CATO Institute.
Got it. Carry on with the morphing.
Ginsburg has a high opinion of herself...she says she cant resign because (paraphrasing) with a Republican senate looming, and the fact there is nobody of her caliber around in the Democrats she can be replaced with by Obummer, shell just have to stay in office ...

I hope that’s true! I’d really hate to see her retire or die before the Pubs control the Senate!
