Friends, I’m on vacation on a mountain top in rural Georgia. Cell phone service is non-existent. Internet is hit, but mostly miss.
I have come down off the mountain today for one reason and one reason only:
To make sure you read this.
It is the one and only thing you need to read today and it pleases me greatly a friend wrote it. Someone needed to write it. Someone needed to say it.
Sometimes, when it comes to an issue like abortion, people slip up and say what they mean. It’s seldom a point deemed appropriate for public discussion, but on occasion someone will point out that a hugely disproportionate number of abortions are executed upon black and Hispanic children. Occasionally, a pro-life person will even go so far as to wonder whether, for many supporters of legalized abortions, this fact is a feature of the system, not a bug. Supporters of legalized abortion at this point, offended by the idea, will typically recoil in horror at the suggestion, insisting that no responsible supporter of legalized abortion feels that way. Most abortion proponents will then insist that the disproportionate numbers of minority abortions is an unintended (and surely undesirable!) consequence of this nonetheless important social policy.
Thankfully, we have people like Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg around to remind us what an insidious lie this is, as she does in this weekend’s New York Times.
The money quote from Ginsburg’s own monstrous mouth? This: “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. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.”
no ...
kyle8 Thursday, July 9th at 4:32PM EDT (link)The greatest thing written about Ginsburg will be her obituary. And I don’t feel any qualms about saying that about a person who celebrates the death of “undesirable ” babies.

WOW!
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Interesting extrapolation
comrade_boris Thursday, July 9th at 5:00PM EDT (link)It seems unfounded to assume, based on racial abortion statistics, that this is what she meant, was thinking, or was implied. “Populations that we don’t want to have too many of” could easily include those with severe birth defects or children born to women that did not want them.
I don't know what's more appalling...

Joe_Cor Thursday, July 9th at 7:28PM EDT (link)Gerald Ford was part of an effort to impeach Earl Warren. Perhaps some Republican Congresspeople should revive the idea for Ginsberg. It seems a gross violation of jurisprudence to view the Supreme Court as an instrument for furthering the cause of eugenics. At the very least, perhaps such an effort could help enlighten the public on the mentality of the American left.
That would be a good strategy

Liberals Say Obama Should "Disobey" SCOTUS
BillM Thursday, July 9th at 9:21PM EDT (link)Ginsburg’s interviewer, Emily Bazelon (granddaughter iirc of David Bazelon, a 60’s DCC judge who ruled that a man pounding on the door of a closed business at night with a gun in his hand can’t be presumed to be a robber & that mentally patients have the rights to refuse medication and sleep on the streets) also recently reviewed the following book: http://www.slate.com/id/2222028/
“At the end of his uncompromisingly critical appraisal of the Supreme Court, James MacGregor Burns issues a challenge to the high bench that could make the justices fall right off it. In Packing the Court, Burns imagines a president—he hopes this president—leading Congress to pass progressive legislation that amounts to a new New Deal. If a “hostile” Supreme Court then struck down such a compact, the president, Burns proposes, should refuse to obey the court. The president “would flatly announce that he or she would not accept the Supreme Court’s verdicts because the power of judicial emasculation of legislation was not—and never has been—in the Constitution.” ”
Mindboggling. So it would’ve been fine for Nixon not to “accept” Roe, Bush I not to “accept” Casey, W not to “accept” Lawrence, etc. I guess Clinton not “accepting” Bush v Gore would’ve been fine though.
One thing you have to give the libs credit for, they’re being very honest with their plans.

A blow for Margaret Sanger
Menlo Thursday, July 9th at 9:39PM EDT (link)As you recall, she didn’t want word to get out on the true motives and agenda of Planned Parenthood. The Roe court complied with a big pack of lies built on lies.
Ginsburg’s statement seems to correlate well with the recent release of Richard Nixon’s response to the Roe ruling when it was handed down. The eugenics motive is undeniable.

Excellent comment
Jack_Savage Thursday, July 9th at 10:00PM EDT (link)I could not help but think of Sanger when I read this - her evil philosphy permeates the pro-abortionists.
The reasoning behind Roe v Wade is on par with forced sterilization and other atrocities condoned by our government. It is a relic of an era when those considered beneath the elitists were sterilized or their babies aborted for “their own good”. They even did it to their own at times - Joseph Kennedy had the daughter that didn’t quite measure up lobotomized to calm her down, and she recently died where she lived her life after that moment - being cared for in a nursing home, far outside the reach of her family.
Exactly same thing came to my mind as soon as I saw this...
