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.

Gruber co-authored a paper during the Clinton years which argued that legal abortion had saved the U.S. taxpayer upwards of $14 billion in welfare benefits and that it also lowered crime....

By ‘marginal’ does Gruber mean all the stupid people who bought into the lies about 0bamaCare?

But Jonathon, if all the "marginal children" are aborted, who would actually vote for your policies? I mean, to get your policies into law, you've got to have a majority of the population who are unable to understand the simplest economic principals, and are, as you label them, "stupid."

But how many people here will support WIC and other nutrition programs that have been shown to improved the health and intelligence of children born to poorer mothers?

Mr Gruber, and all abortion proponents, are obviously racist.

From OperationRescue.org:
• Blacks comprise only 13% of the population of America but account for 37% of all abortions.
• Black women are five times more likely to abort than white women.
• 69% of pregnancies among Blacks are unintended, while that number is 54% among Hispanics and 40% of pregnancies among Whites.
• Planned Parenthood, the largest seller of abortions in the United States, has located 80% of its abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods, disproportionally targeting minorities for abortion.

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

That's exactly what I thought when I read that quote.

These people are sick!

They could have an illness, or accident, and become disabled, too. Would they want the same to be done to them?!

“Marginal” children — like Albert Einstein, who didn’t speak until he was 6 years old?

It’s amazing how much cognitive dissonance a leftist abortion supporter will simply ignore when discussing Sanger and her motives for founding planned parenthood.

“Oh, that’s not its purpose today”

yeah? Where are the majority of PP offices located?
