Judicial Watch has been researching the Clinton administration's policy on RU-486, the abortion drug, and the final exhibit--it begins on page 60 of the PDF document linked above--makes for fascinating reading. It was written by Ron Weddington, who served as co-counsel, along with his better half, Sarah, in successfully arguing Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that imposed abortion policies that remain among the world's most permissive.
The cover letter (p. 60) is dated Jan. 6, 1992, but the year seems to be an error, since the addressee, Betsey Wright, is identified as working for the transition team. In it, Weddington tells Wright of the four-page missive to the "President-to-Be" that follows that "I am going to try to get [it] published." Mission accomplished! Here are some excerpts:
I don't think you are going to go very far in reforming the country until we have a better educated, healthier, wealthier population. . . .
You can start immediately to eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country. No, I'm not advocating some sort of mass extinction of these unfortunate people. Crime, drugs and disease are already doing that. The problem is that their numbers are not only replaced but increased by the birth of millions of babies to people who can't afford to have babies.

Good grief...sounds like Margaret Sanger risen from the grave!
Alarming and very sick. Didn't the Nazi's try to do something along these lines??
