Obamacare Architect Jonathan Gruber: Abortion of 'Marginal Children' a 'Social Good'
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | December 7, 2014 | Austin Ruse

Embattled MIT professor Jonathan Gruber has not only gotten in trouble for bragging about helping President Obama put one over on the American people with Obamacare, he’s also been uncovered as an abortion advocate—but not a run-of-the-mill advocate of “women’s rights.”

No, Gruber’s abortion advocacy is of a particularly pungent eugenics variety. He’s on record repeatedly making the case from social science that abortion is a “social good” because it reduces the number of “marginal children,” by which he means urban poor—those he says can be counted on to commit crimes if they were ever born.

Every generation seems to have their evil lot that believe their somehow more advanced and progressive and they talk and act as if their the first to ever think of such things as being some form of collective good, and that its a new thought in the universe they’ve authored, what ignorance,

This gruber creature cant seem to keep its mouth shut, its arrogance coupled with a demonic evil,

This clown is one hell of a little goose stepper when you come right down to it.

Would have fit right in with the WWII Nazi bunch.

As a marginal child, gruber can be aborted at any age, under advanced obamacare, when he is inevitably deemed no longer useful to the liberal-progressive party.

“legal abortion had saved the U.S. taxpayer upwards of $14 billion in welfare benefits and that it also lowered crime..”

Bill Clinton came out a few years back and started making these same claims, he appeared to immediately realize how racist it sounded to anyone outside of their koolaid drinking cabal and quickly shut up,

Didn't that same assertion come out in the first Freakonomics book? The point being that Guiliani's focus on squeegee men and broken windows didn't have as big an effect on crime as the Roe v Wade decision and the abortion of millions of potential criminals?

compared to this guy, Joe Biden is 99.99% perfectly on-message. The only thing that would be funnier is to have Gruber out there shooting his mouth off like he does and a PR flack like Bagdad Bob telling everyone to pay no attention, nothing to see here.

I wonder if they also pondered that with a population of (57 million) and asked how many inventors, doctors, theologians, soldiers, scientists etc., and how many of their children could have been alive in the world,

When you kill someone, you also kill everyone that would have ever come from them,

These things never end well for people. Now we need people in the USA—We can’t depend on foreigners to work our jobs for us. The day will come when people with lots of kids will be given medals!

The elites are a by product of socialism and they reveal themselves brazenly under Obama, the King of elites.
