In unearthed letter urged President-elect Clinton to 'reform' country
A letter to Bill Clinton written by the co-counsel who successfully argued the Roe v. Wade decision urged the then-president-elect to "eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country" by liberalizing abortion laws. Ron Weddington, who with his wife Sarah Weddington represented "Jane Roe," sent the four-page letter to President Clinton's transition team before Clinton took office in January 1993.
The missive turned up in an exhibit put together by the watchdog legal group Judicial Watch, which has been researching the Clinton administration's policy on the abortion drug RU-486, notes James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal's Best of the Web.
Weddington qualified his statement, saying, "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.
"There, I've said it. It's what we all know is true, but we only whisper it, because as liberals who believe in individual rights, we view any program which might treat the disadvantaged differently as discriminatory, mean-spirited and ... well ... Republican

Innocent babies should never be treated with the least bit of disrespect...that they are casually butchered by these people is the moral crisis of the last 1000 years, perhaps ever. And, before God, there is a stiff price to be paid for it, the smallest part I do not believe we have witnessed yet.
Don't worry, Felos and the Euthanasia folks have a spot for them too. Then maybe they'll see the writing on the wall.
Thanks Rob.
From an analytical standpoint, it's interesting what abortion has done to the demographics. I'm not sure of the numbers, but it's around 40 million of them since Roe.
Black women get abortions at a rate about four times that of whites.
I've never seen a breakdown by political affiliation, but I'd guess abortions by Republican women make up about 5% or less of the total. Probably the majority of them come from politically non-active women.
But 40 million is huge. That's bigger than the population of all of California.
Today's political, racial, and demographic picture would look a lot different if these abortions had not been performed.
Before I'm misunderstood, I'm in no way suggesting that these abortions were a good thing. Unwanted births should be prevented before conception.
I'm commenting on the fact that abortion has greatly changed our country in ways that some people may not have considered.
Hmm...killing any people they find "inferior"...
How can we keep calling these people communists when they act so much like nazis? Maybe they're both.
You are really talking through your hat. This is unworthy of serious response. Grow up.
"I'd guess abortions by Republican women make up about 5% or less of the total."
That may be more "wishful thinking" than "guessing".
Speechless..
How is this going to hurt *him*, sometimes someone might be smart enough to be a lawyer and evil enough not to see what they are saying is horrifying.. Mao was a college student..
Considering the current unemployment rate
Its not possible to know how many people are working by the unemployment rate the rate is for people collecting benefits not people who have expired benefits are are no longer even trying to find a job
They are also spending a lot of money - cars, houses, etc.
With record debt and decreasing savings rates in the US most of the houses, cars, etc. are not being bought with cash but credit. Spending plastic does not mean a healthy economy.
He would say he revoked the gag rule of Reagan and Bush on abortion counseling; He permitted abortion in the military; started the Mexico City policy re: abortion and started the gateway entry of RU-486.
I hear ya Abortion is the *only* thing that even keeps me thinking republican (though sometimes I will just vote for a different pro life candidate for other reasons)
With a republican controlled house, senate, whitehouse, and a court appointed mostly by republicans the fact abortion is an issue getting only political lip service in this election year makes me wonder if they (the republicans) do want to fix it and see it go away as an issue..
One more election cycle, I am rapidly losing patients..
Planned Parenthood is the brood sow of the baby killing industry and one of the biggest supporters of child molesters in the nation.
Between 1965 and 1990 murder skyrocketed in the US during this time abortion was legalized the steady decline began only after capital punishment was reinstated..
Not too far from the truth!
"What the KKK could only dream about, the abortion industry is accomplishing."
