| Justice Ginsberg Admits Hope That Roe Would Eradicate 'Unwanted Populations' |
| 2009-07-09 |
| 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 judge also praised the advent of earlier abortions with the wider distribution of the morning-after pill, saying "I think the side that wants to take the choice away from women and give it to the state, they're fighting a losing battle. Time is on the side of change." When the Supreme Court upheld the partial-birth abortion ban in 2007, Ginsburg wrote a scathing dissent, saying the court's reasoning "reflects ancient notions about women's place in the family and under the Constitution - ideas that have long since been discredited." |

| #11 and a refresher on when Juice were "population of groups 'that we don't want to have too many of.'", but then she's comfortably ensconced in a nation without immediate danger of religious cleansing, protected by security. What does she care about others? Her high moral ground precludes us from speculating she's a tool |

| #9 I like the way she just cavalierly tosses that out there, without even thinking about the implications of what she said, like she won't even get called on it. Of course, that's easy to when you know you won't... |

| #8 But, but, but, it's the logistics! No huge facilities or railways are needed and Rowe VS Wade is much cheaper than Zyclone B. "Choice" ist der Lebensborn! Get over it. [angry snark] |

| #6 How can the reporter hear that and not ask a followup question? You would think that would be quite a bombshell. Unless the reporter implicitly understood, and perhaps, agreed with the meaning. |

| #5 Conservatives catch a lot of crap when they try to equate Darwin and modern progressive liberalism. But one part of that connection is most assuredly true: that of 'social Darwinism', which led to eugenics, which the progressives of the early 1900s (and their successors, the socialists and the fascists) enthusiastically embraced. There's a strong history of people like Sanger, those in and out of our government, on the European side, and elsewhere who embraced birth control and abortion as ways of removing 'unwanted' or 'inferior' (pick your term) people. Progressives, socialists and fascists back then had the disturbing tendency to describe such unwanted and inferiors in terms of class and/or race and ethnicity. Those thoughts persist today. It's why all such intellectuals attack the Catholic Church which (correctly) rejects the notion of inferiority and class distinction and which makes clear that all humans are equal in the eyes of God. The progressive movement in the U.S. favored abortion and contraception PRECISELY because it would remove those individuals who were judged to impede the progress towards a perfect society. |

| #3 The problem is that it was the middle class that opted for full application rather than the Margret Sanger target of immigrants and blacks. |

| #2 And who, pray tell, makes the decisions about who gets the Hoover and who gets to be born? What is their authority, and where do they get it? And who is to prevent somebody from assuming authority and deciding who serves no more purpose and must be put to sleep, including SCOTUS justices? We see who these advocates truly are. |

| #1 She admitted to what legal abortion is all about. It's Politically Correct Ethnic Cleansing. |
