In 1994, McCorvey became a pro-lifer, and petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Norma McCorvey never had the abortion.
The pro-abortion movement was an outgrowth of the eugenics movement of the early 20th century. After the Nazi holocaust and other crimes came to light, the eugenics movement went underground, only resurfacing after they had donned the new garments of "a woman's right to choose." As a white male, quite a few people feel comfortable sharing their true feelings with me. These feelings are: "Well, abortion's bad, but we have to do something to keep 'those people' from reproducing so much they ruin everything." "Those people" refers to blacks.
We are on the same side concerning abortion, but blaming an ignorant, uneducated woman who was used as a prop by the purveyors of eugenics does not advance our cause. Norma McCorvey is on our side, now. In any event, re the subject of this article, none of the movers and shakers on this were baby boomers.
Miss Norma chose to forgo the abortion.
What excuse do the boomers who chose to go through with their abortions have? Vietnam? Kissinger?
You are right that they weren’t the movers and shakers on Roe, but they still consented to the abortions. Now, they want to dump the fiscal state consequences on the ones that were allowed to survive.
And people act surprised when they are called out on it. I’m teaching. I’m trying very hard to undo some of this crap that has been shoved down.
Now, let me tell you something. I have grade 8 girls. 5 of them were able to rattle off why the world was overpopulated and that there were too many babies in it? Why? Invariably boomer folks shoving garbage and fears on the kids. Then I have to fight with boomers over teaching what the church teaches on abortion.
I thank God for my young friends whom I have worked with and fought with over the years. Because of them, I’m going to teach what needs to be taught and damn the consequences. The kids will thank me 10 years from now, even if the boomers never do.
