This is big problem if we going to continue to have a civilization in the future. Intelligent women not having kids = the population gets less intelligent. The only eugenic factor today is the availability of cheap abortion to low-intelligence single mothers. Any yet most conservatives want to do a way with abortion altogeter. Go figure.
Yes abort the babies we think are going to be stupid eh?
Our society needs to allow/encourage intelligent women to be more fertile. Europe is a demographic nightmare are the educated women simply have no/few children, far less than is necessary to keep the population stable. The USA is slightly better, but still very disturbed in the message we give young, intelligent women.
What makes you think conservatives are into eugenics? That's a socialist position par excellence: in a managed society, there will be no "imperfect" people.
Hope you're perfect, or maybe you won't have a chance when Hillary takes over. On the other hand, most of us conservatives would let you hang around.
I cannot condemn any innocent baby to death. The ends don't justify the means.
Abortion is wrong no matter what socio economic class opts for it.
Its not that men don't want to marry smart women.Its that they don't want to marry smart ASSED women who try to transfer their aggression in the world of work to the domicile.
No, it's a matter of intelligent kids being more expensive to raise. As soon as kids go from "asset" to "liability" the birthrates drop. Welfare queens have lots of kids because the kids are still assets... more government money.
I guarantee that if you repeal child labor laws, you'll see the birthrate rise quite a bit.
More than offset, many times over in fact, by the sheer quantity of doomed kids those same dim single moms and their thuggee boyfriends keep generating.
Trying to improve the dysgenic tendency of the underclass with abortion is not only morally repulsive, it's also practically infeasible. Like trying to bail out a boat with a thimble without plugging the hole in the bilges first.

Wow. Made it all the way to post #8 before abortion was brought up.
Must be a new record. Usually it is post #2.
Abortion also strikes heavily among affluent intelligent women
who do not wish to interrupt their carêrs or abstain from trivial fun-sex stuff.
I think it is the Farelly Brothers or Mike Judge who were developing a comedy script (it was titled, "3001") about a guy who is preserved via some sort of futuristic scientific technology and he is reawakened in the year 3001.
Well, IFRC, what has happened in the intervening years is that the population has been dumbed down. This is because the more responsible, educated, career oriented couples have been careful to only have the kids that they can afford to raise. They wait longer and bear fewer. The only ones who have been reproducing in volume are the irresponsible dumbasses, basically.
Our hero was considered to be expendable when he is put in his deep freeze (or whatever it is they did to him) because he was a big dodo. Unfortunately, in 3001, this guy is intelligent by comparison to the rest of the population, that's how far things went downhill. I only read a little of it and relied upon my coworker's explanation of the premise because I don't like to read this stuff in advance. I want to be surprised when I see the film.
