Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Interview - Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Abortion - Elle

"It makes no sense as a national policy to promote birth only among poor people."

'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.' - United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, quoted in Emily Bazelon, 'The Place of Women on the Court'Adobe Acrobat file, The New York Times Magazine, July 7, 2009

“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.” – United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, quoted in Emily Bazelon, “The Place of Women on the Court”, The New York Times Magazine, July 7, 2009


Elle: Fifty years from now, which decisions in your tenure do you think will be the most significant?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Well, I think 50 years from now, people will not be able to understand Hobby Lobby. Oh, and I think on the issue of choice, one of the reasons, to be frank, that there’s not so much pro-choice activity is that young women, including my daughter and my granddaughter, have grown up in a world where they know if they need an abortion, they can get it. Not that either one of them has had one, but it’s comforting to know if they need it, they can get it.

The impact of all these restrictions is on poor women, because women who have means, if their state doesn’t provide access, another state does. I think that the country will wake up and see that it can never go back to [abortions just] for women who can afford to travel to a neighboring state…

Elle: When people realize that poor women are being disproportionately affected, that’s when everyone will wake up? That seems very optimistic to me.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Yes, I think so…. It makes no sense as a national policy to promote birth only among poor people.


Racial Prejudice and Population Control

           
Mrs. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

"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."

- United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, quoted in Emily Bazelon, "The Place of Women on the Court"Adobe Acrobat file, The New York Times Magazine, July 7, 2009


           

"In particular, we are able to demonstrate that family planning services in the United States were provided more frequently whenever there were black Americans in the population. In other words, there is a strong inferential case to be made that reactions to the racial composition of the population have influenced decisions to provide family planning services. … This fact [, that contraception dispensaries tend to be located in predominantly minority areas, not in poor white ones,] gives apparent substance to charges that such programs are designed not simply to assist the poor, but to control the growth of the black population. "

- Kammeyer, Yetman et al, "Family Planning Services and Distribution of Black Americans," in Population Studies: Selected Essays and Research (Chicago: Rand McNally, 1975.) p. 475. 

Population Studies Selected Essays 1975

Margaret Sanger

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

- Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, December 10, 1939 (Smith College, Sanger Collection)


"Population control is too important to entrust to some right-wing, pro-life types. Take the recent influx of Hispanic immigrants: Their lack of respect for democracy and social order is frightening. I hope I can do something to stem that tide. I'd set up a[n abortion] clinic in Mexico for free if I could. Maybe one in Calexico would help. The survival of our society could be at stake.…The Aid to Families With Dependent Children program is the worst boondoggle ever created. When a sullen black woman can decide to have a baby and get welfare and food stamps and become a burden to all of us it's time to stop. In parts of South Los Angeles having babies for welfare is the only industry the people have."

- Dr. Edward Allred (multi-millionaire, former owner of Family Planning Associates, once upon a time the largest independent abortion clinic chain), quoted in "Doctor's Abortion Practice Lucrative," The San Diego Union, 10/12/80, pp. A-3, 17.

Nuremberg Rally

"In view of the large families of the Slav native population, it could only suit us if girls and women there [Poland and Russia] had as many abortions as possible. Active trade in contraceptives ought to actually be encouraged in the Eastern territories, as we could not possibly have the slightest interest in increasing the non-German population.  …  We must use every means to instill in the population the idea that it is harmful to have several children, the expenses that they cause and the dangerous effect on woman's health.  …  It will be necessary to open special institutions for abortions ['clinics'] and doctors must be able to help out there in case there is any question of this being a breach of their professional ethics."

- Adolf Hitler, Tischgesprache im Fuhrerhauptquartier, 1941-42.

George Grant, "Grand Illusions: The Legacy of Planned Parenthood":

When confidential Planned Parenthood SW Texas (Houston) records were recovered via dumpster diving in the late 1980s, analysis of the documents showed that middle-class white people use abortion "services" at a higher rate than targeted poor & minority populations.

This probably bothers Guttmacher Institute insiders to no end.

Evil sometimes manifests itself in the face. Ginsberg is a hideous babykiller, her soul reflected in her countenance. Enjoy the fiery depths, eugenicist scum!

This woman’s constant liberal political commentary is not appropriate for a judge.

Many of those poor have more children in order to get more welfare and food stamps (EBT) and housing allocations. That is partly why their levels of abortions are lower than the numbers for middle-class white people.

Eventually blacks will come to understand why the liberals situate their abortion clinics in their neighborhoods and pay off their leaders.

My first thought was “witchcraft”, but then that would be redundant.

This person should recuse herself on any case that comes before her that has anything to do with morality.

It doesn’t make any sense to me the Barry and the ‘RATS are importing children who can’t speak English to replace those children that the people living in this country refuse to have.

I may not like seeing the ranks of the underprivileged swell, but I’ll be damned if I’ll sign on to genocide as a remedy.

I have spoken out a number of times here lamenting the disproportionate representation of blacks in the ranks of those who have had an abortion.

It is a national disgrace, even if blacks are the ones who decide to participate in this tragedy.
