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

Maggie Sanger and the Human Weeds

WASHINGTON -- After a lengthy incubation, the sick dreams of Margaret Sanger are finally hatching. Against the excuses of her modern defenders, it should be remembered that the founder of Planned Parenthood's main interest in the legalization of abortion was not that women should be freed from the bonds of childbearing, but that unsavory types should be cleansed from the larger population.
In fact, Sanger only turned to abortion when her original plan to "apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation" to those with "objectionable traits" -- sometimes derided as the stronger epithet "human weeds" -- found little support. Turned out folks felt a bit queasy about sending those of certain ethnic backgrounds and with disabilities and mental illnesses off to "farm lands and homesteads" to be "taught to work under competent instructors for the period of their entire lives."
Sounds a bit like a concentration camp, no? Then again, she was a great admirer of the Nazi eugenics movement. Like Hitler, she had a long list of folks she wanted to eliminate from society, including "illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope fiends."

The "false evidence appearing real" is only being proffered by the socialist-fascists in our midst.
The fact that I believe is indeed, of course, irrelevant. But what I believe happens to correspond rather closely with the available statistical information.
the most important factor in the drop in crime was the increased number of prisons and longer prison terms.
Perhaps. In any case, that was the first factor I mentioned so I don't see why you are being irrationally beligerent.
There is zero evidence that an increase in the number of people owning weapons lowered crime rates. That is pure conjecture on your part.
Not true; that is pretty much an established fact. Read Dr. Lott's book "More guns, Less crime" which demonstrates it. Dr. Kleck's earlier work also shows the dramatic effect of gun ownership in reducing violence.
There are some questionable statistics that seem to indicate that states which allowed abortion earlier than RvW actually saw a drop in crime earlier than nationally
Very questionable statistics, unlike the solid ones that show that an increase in gun ownership reduces crime. If the "abortion reduces crime" assertion were really true, it would hold in other places (Europe or Canada, for example) where no such correlation exists.
Your comment about higher abortion rates leading to a greater drop in crime has no basis in logic
Good thing that wasn't my comment; I said the exact opposite.
I don't feel "popped off" at.
There are simply evil people in the world with evil thoughts and actions. There really is no comprehending it.
I do wonder if people that have lived through other dark times feel like we are entering one now. And if so how it compares to previous ones.
To me it feels like numerous dark forces are coalescing together against our country. There's a big chunk of the world that wants to put us in our place - even if it means worse for themselves. Then there's Islam on the march and no real willingness to call it for what it is. Add to that Iran, Russia and China... And here at home we have illegals protesting in our streets demanding their "rights" with high government officials wanting to grant them what is not theirs to give. Massive public and private debt. We have a "Republican" government that doesn't represent us and if we throw them out it only gets worse. Basically a choice between death by fire or death by drowning...
So to me it seems like one of those turning points in history. Where the future is very unclear.
California is now wanting to raise my taxes for the good of the children... I can't easily leave because my business is here, my family is here and I've spent the last three years building my new home here...
So no, I'm not feeling real optimistic these days...
Or I'm simply feeling paranoid - which many here would likely agree...
And I'm just plain tired...
1.Who will eventurally become a criminal and
2.Which human life is worthy to be lived and which is not.
It always amazes me that man, even after thousands of years of history of other fallen men taking on the role of God with disasterous, horrific consequences, still arrogantly considers himself to be the center of the universe and therefore wholly qualified to make proclamations and decisions that God has reserved for Himself.
Incredible.

I guess the estimated 100 million - 200 million islamofascists spread throughout 60 countries and communists or fascist dictators in saudi arabia, venezuela, boliva, and mexico controlling our energy lifeline, don't constitute us being "surrounded by enemies." Okay, I feel safe, no reason to be fruitful and multiply anymore. Idiot.
Who would that be? You. Or is that just your adhom way of saying you stopped being conservative when you didn't let us get away with whatever we wanted...
I say use abortion to eliminate liberals.
The bit of Freakonomics "theory" has been completely debunked. Abortion is not the cause of the crime drop.
'Freakonomics' Abortion Research Is Faulted by a Pair of Economists
Chilling. It reveals the true mindset of our opponents.
Amazingly frank on his part. They want to kill a good portion of their base.
We have to fight this mindset at every turn, it is so evil and destructive it will destroy the idea of America. I can't believe this country has allowed it to persist without shunning these people out of societies eyes.
It's certainly well-documented that the purpose of much of the eugenics and birth control movements in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century were expressly intended to reduce and/or eliminate (over time) the 'inferior stock' in our population, whether native born poor whites (think "Five generations of idiots is enough!") and blacks, or Eastern/Southern European immigrants. (Recall at that time Asians were forbidden from immigrating)
