11 years ago, July 7, 2009 the NY Times printed an interview of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Emily Bazelon captioned "The Place of Women on the Court". In that lengthy interview Ginsburg made this statement about a 1980 SCOTUS case concerning the Hyde Amendment:
Ginsburg: "[Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] 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. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them." [Emphasis mine]
That statement was a small window into the thinking of Ginsburg. To her abortion was just one perfectly acceptable way to ensure that we don't have growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. Think about that. We the living apparently find certain 'populations' lacking in worth, so we are at liberty to deny those populations their very existence. Could the heroine of the eugenics movement, Margaret Sanger, beloved by Adolf Hitler, have said it any more succinctly?
