Can’t you answer a simple question? We ALL know she supported abortion. But she said:

“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 for 7 years, 1973-80, she believed this. Did she or did she not support R.V.W for those 7 years until 1980, when “I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.”

The answer is yes, she supported the seemingy eugenics based decision.

She did NOT say she believed this ... she said "there was concern about ..." (regarding the population issue and the eugenics issue).

She later says "some people felt ..." (regarding the Medicaid issue)

Beware and be aware of the passive voice.
