Regardless what Gore might have had to say behind closed doors during his speech on "Population Reduction" for Gorby & Co., somehow I fail to see how it could be anymore sickeningly straightforward than the GOP's talk of "genetic/hereditary quality" and the "moral" need to undo the damage wrought by well-intentioned social programs which ended up causing "down breeding." The winner of the Republican primary for Congress in my district, James Hart, was a strong proponent of eugenics, and on his website he boasted that he wanted a eugenics revolution to replace Jesus Christ in terms of impact on society.
The Democrat incumbent (Tanner) had a less-than-satisfactory record, so I had to do some research online to find out. It took a several hours of digging and a couple of queries to FR, and I learned that his county Republican Party had repudiated him and encouraged people to write-in another Republican who was pro-life, Bertrand. I wrote Bertrand in; although he didn't get much of a showing and the incumbent (Tanner) was re-elected.
I'll credit the Shelby County GOP for speaking out in the end, but the prominence of abortion advocacy in GOP campaigns and policy is alarming.

This guys sounds like he's got a real future whether he hitches his star to the Old Guard or shares Whoreowitz's "Progressive Vision" for the Party.
I think last count at "The Pill" website was 46% of American women on abortifacient birth control ... for starters.
I strongly suspect most Christians rigorously contracept anyway. (Either that or even the Catholics are hardly ever having sex anymore.)
Done deal, really. It's just that they've yet to make the connection -- That Leap of Faith in Their Own Will over God's Will -- and take their Proper Planning of God's blessing "for the sake of the children" to its logical ends.
When I look at the number of women availing themselves of the Wichita abortionists' blessing ceremonies or the abortion Masses of WomynChurch, it doesn't seem a great leap to euthanize a kid who's suffering intensely and has no Hope.
(Hope's a Christian commission short in supply ... as opposed to Optimism, which is a totally different ballgame, of course.)
After all, we're not EXACTLY God yet though we're pretty sure we can spot His mistakes as easily as we can the suffering he doles out on anyone who crosses us.
