Massachusetts Democrat: the disabled cost too much to let them be born; Best to be sure to kill them before they have a budgetary impact.

Michael Hugo, the chair of the Framingham Democratic Committee, argued in a city council meeting that crisis pregnancy centers are a danger to the community because their screening might not catch a birth defect, the result of which would be the live birth of an expensive-to-care-for disabled child.

Best to be sure to kill them before they have a budgetary impact.

Hugo is not just the chair of the Democrats in this one town in Massachusetts, but the director of policy and government affairs for the Massachusetts Association of Health Boards.

Nice to know. If you are planning on getting medical care in the state, be aware that the medical boards are lobbying the government to kill off the disabled.

There are calls for his resignation from disability groups, and if they succeed in getting him to leave his party position or even his job as a policy director, he can always move to Canada where killing off the unwanted and expensive is official government policy already.

A local Democrat official in Massachusetts is facing calls to step down after complaining about the cost of special education for children with disabilities who are not aborted.

Michael Hugo, the chair of the Framingham Democratic Committee, made the remarks during a city council meeting when discussing a proclamation about access to abortion and crisis pregnancy centers in the city. He said crisis pregnancy centers could misdiagnose a defect in a baby in the womb, leading to them being born and becoming a strain on a school budget. He issued a public apology after 10 days of backlash from members of his own party and parents of special needs children.

Misdiagnoses go both ways, of course. Planned Parenthood is so anxious to kill off babies that they have been known to recommend abortions for babies who turn out to be perfectly healthy. But killing babies is no big deal, so best to be sure.

Hugo has made the obligatory non-apology apology, ensuring the community that he meant no offense. He just wanted to be sure that everybody knew that letting babies live could be expensive, and the ROI might be negative.

Good to know.

In his public apology letter, Hugo called his comments “offensive and hurtful.”

“I am writing to offer my most sincere and humble apology to members of the Framingham Democratic Committee, but more especially my fellow members of Framingham’s disability family community, for comments that I made at the last City Council meeting which were offensive and hurtful,” he wrote.

He said members of the committee did not “see or review” his remarks despite being sent out the night before the meeting.

“Our fear is that if an unqualified sonographer misdiagnoses a heart defect, an organ defect, spina bifida or an encephalopathic defect that becomes a very local issue because our school budget will have to absorb the cost of a child in special education, supplying lots and lots of special services to children, who were born with the defect,” Hugo said at the Feb. 7 meeting.

Laura Green, a disability advocate in Framingham told Fox News that she does not accept his apology.

“I feel that it was generic and lackluster. I feel like after a statement like that is made, you can’t just pretend that it didn’t happen or take it back because it’s damaging to a community of people,” she said. “The disability community is the only minority group that you can become a part of at any time.”

Notice that the entire Democrat committee had been sent his remarks before he made them? He claims that nobody actually read them, and that is plausible as Democrats are like that. They probably just skimmed them to ensure he was all for killing kids. Who cares which ones, as long as enough die?

This is what happens once you abandon the belief that all human beings are made in the image of God and are uniquely valuable. The murder of the innocent is a natural consequence of the belief that one’s value as a human being is dependent upon being “wanted.”

Once you accept that human beings have no soul and no inherent value it is difficult to see how you don’t arrive at Hugo’s conclusion.

It would be comforting if Hugo were uniquely evil, but sadly he is not. He is probably just a normal, rational guy who believes that babies have to justify their existence by providing a good ROI. It’s the ideology that leads to this evil conclusion, not some defect in the soul.

At least I think that is the case.

Baldness - great example! I use being born with a club foot (me) as an example. I’m sure if it could have been diagnosed in the womb (perhaps today it can be), lots of parents would have aborted me.

Lots of work by my parents, operations, and I guess I didn’t like all of that as a baby - but it turned out (literally!) okay. Even excelled in a High School sport.

Awesome, so do black people born into welfare. Both in direct welfare associated costs and cost burden of our justice system... do we really want to go down the eugenics road?

Sounds like it could be applied in a ray-ciss fashion as well.

Maybe Hugo should be put down immediately since he is a danger to society with homocidel tendencies.

We are living in Hitlerian times. Another reason not to vote for Democrats, not that we need one.

Let the OUTRAGE!! begin!


This country has managed to kill off over 63,000,000 humans in the last 50 years that would have been perfectly healthy.


'Tis a wee bit late to bitch about this Democrat.

When the economy finally does collapse, a lot of these ‘problems’ will somehow take care of themselves.

There is no fear of God in the eyes of these godless reprobate Democrats.

But that can change in a heartbeat when God gives them what they mock.

Life can change in a heartbeat.

I’ve been up and down in life. Still down.

I’ve learned that when you’re down, there’s no shortage of people who want to get a kick or two in.

They consider not that their own time will come; one way or another.

This is EXACTLY what happens when history is no longer taught in schools.
