WASHINGTON, D.C., July 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg seems to have made a stunning admission in favor of cleansing America of unwanted populations by aborting them. In an interview with the New York Times, the judge said that Medicaid should cover abortions, and that she had originally expected that Roe v. Wade would facilitate such coverage in order to control the population of groups "that we don't want to have too many of."

The statement was made in the context of a discussion about the fact that abortions are not covered by Medicaid, and therefore are less available to poor women. "Reproductive choice has to be straightened out," said Ginsburg, lamenting the fact that only women "of means" can easily access abortion.

"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," Ginsburg told Emily Bazelon of the New York Times.

Scary statement.

Good to see she’s on the same page as Margaret Sanger.

Well, someone else in the 1930s and 40s made a case pretty close to that. Did she agree with him too?

The true colors of the liberals.......racist eugenicists..

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Oh snap! Someone finally admitted the real purpose of federal abortion funding.

God help us! Did she really say this?

This is a very callous thing to say - especially about kids in their mothers’ wombs.

Unbelievable, or at least it would have been a few years ago, now nothing surprises me.

Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg inadvertently lets the true liberal agenda slip!

Does anybody have a link to the actual NYTimes article where she said this?

[wildbill]

Considering that the majority of abortions occur in the poor and black or brown population groups, this is an amazingly hypocritical statement from a far lefty.

OOOOOOH SISTAH GINSBURG, does that mean you’re really not down with black folks?

This is exactly the same comment made by Adolph Hitler. I read that in “Inside the Third Reich” by William Shirer.

“God help us! Did she really say this?”

Unfortunately, NO. Once again I got my hopes raised by a misleading headline. She didnt say SHE thought that way, only that some did at the time Roe was decided.

Notice that her biggest beef was with the fact that only the wealthy had “access”, ie, that the wealthy have more choices than the poor.

It’s simply reality.

But, lefties define “freedom” as everyone having the same amount of choice, which they usually do by taking choices away from people.

Yep...

That’s NOT what she meant to say. She meant to say,”I Thought Roe Would Help Eradicate Unwanted Populations”.

[I-ambush]

Where’s the “That’s racist” kid?

[ConservaTexan]

Considering that the majority of abortions occur in the poor and black or brown population groups, this is an amazingly hypocritical statement from a far lefty.

Liberal whites who preach tolerance and diversity are among the most bigoted people in the U.S.
