Roe attorney: Use abortion to 'eliminate poor'

Look at articles in the MSM before 1939 about Hitler-- he was a dapper sharp dresser, a cultured icon who loved classical music and an ardent non-smoker who promoted health issues ahead of his time.

He was also a teetotaler - he did not drink wine or other alcoholic beverages - he was a vegetarian, and an animal lover (he'd probably be a PETA member if he was alive today).

THE LIBERAL/LEFTIST/SOCIALIST view. Now, let them defend it. Oh, they will. He was "MISUNDERSTOOD!!!"

"We don't need more parishioners. We don't need more cheap labor. We don't need more poor babies."

Unless they're from Mexico...in which case the Catholic Church, U.S. corporations, the Democratic party and segments of the Republican party can't get enough of them.

If you read Weddington's book, you will see that what the guy said is really what those people believe.

[TheSpottedOwl]

In his postscript, Weddington said: "I was co-counsel in Roe v. Wade, [and] have sired zero children and one fetus, the abortion of which was recently recounted by my ex-wife in her book, "A Question of Choice" (Grosset/Putnam, 1992) I had a vasectomy in 1969 and have never had one moment of regret."

Thanks for pinging me to this article, 8mm. This guy doesn't have his lid screwed on too tight. How many poor people have gone on to achieve great things? Every life is precious, and abstinence does work in preventing pregnancy. This guy is a f*cktard and an idiot. Excuse the language....it's Mother's Day.

See my post in the Freakonomics thread.

Stephen P. Leavitt wrote an essay on a similar theme in Freakonomics (an excellent book). I've excerpted the part about abortions in the above post.

Have a look.

This monstrous goal has been there from the beginning.

Liberal elitists have, from the beginning of the Eugenics movement, wanted to eliminate the poor by killing their unborn babies.

THIS is perhaps the greatest reason to make sure that these evil people NEVER have power in this country again.

And if that means holding my nose and voting for DeWine rather than letting a leftist monster like Sherrod Brown throw the balance of power to the left, that is EXACTLY what I will do.

There are greater goals than 'punishing RINOS.'

THIS is one of, if not the greatest of them all!

[twippo]

"Its monstrous yet true. What kind of parents do you think would kill their child?"

Parents who should give the child up for adoption, of course. Why is that never factored in on the abortion debate? I think pro-aborts and eugenicists worry that women won't be able to give their children away if they go through full-term pregnancy.

My father grew up in a family of four in the era before the birth control pill, when large families were common, and no one in his neighborhood locked their doors.

"...urged the then-president-elect to "eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country" by liberalizing abortion laws."

One problem with his argument. We are importing poor, uneducated and unhealthy illegals at a rate that far exceeds the normal birth rate without abortion.

Where do they find these people????

[Navy Patriot]

We are murdering would be criminals before they are born.

That's a leap not supported by fact. Fact is that economic opportunity is the largest crime fighter that we produce, and we produce the most of it on the planet. That's why everybody wants to come here. (see tagline)

[sweetliberty]

"Satanic and evil to the core."

Yep. Eliminate all the unproductive and inconvenient, from babies in the womb to "useless eaters" on feeding tubes. Of course, if we truly eliminated the unproductive, that would be the end of the majority of the democrat voting base.

[Lurker]

I seriously doubt this 'attorney' has even connected the two in his monstrously warped little brain. Or if he has he figures that now that they're here they're just a bigger pool of prospective customers for the abatoirs.

It seems to me that the best way to stabilize a population is to make sure they live a comfortable middle class life style. Every study I'm aware of shows that as economic circumstances improve, populations level off and families become smaller.

This is the error the Chinese are making. Instead of seeing that the vast majority of their people are well fed, well educated, and profitably employed they pass draconian population control laws and engage in forced abortions. Granted there are other issues involved in China, but I think that's a pretty good analysis.

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Studies Find Abortions Have Long-Term Adverse Effects

Total Abortions since 1973

45,951,133

------------------------------------------------------------

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

Good point! In fact, if you were able to take all these liberals and put them together on an island somwhere in the south Pacific...with all the abortion, euthanasia, and gay marriage going on...I wonder how long it would be till none were left?

Or, I guess the elites in the democratic party would be left, Kennedy, Kerry, etc., since no one could argue against their 'quality of life'....

Oh, wait! I bet George Soros has the HIGHEST quality of life...so maybe even Kennedy and Kerry wouldn't make the cut!!

[Das Outsider]

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"

If this info is right, then Weddington is simply being honest. Margaret Sanger said the same thing back when eugenics was out in the open.

[Das Outsider]

And if that means holding my nose and voting for DeWine rather than letting a leftist monster like Sherrod Brown throw the balance of power to the left, that is EXACTLY what I will do. There are greater goals than 'punishing RINOS.'

So would you choose a pro-abortion (or "neutral") RINO over a pro-abortion Democrat?

[Petronski]

If this info is right, then Weddington is simply being honest.

How is he being dishonest?

"I see this as the work God sent me to do," said Bloom, 54, executive director of Aradia Women's Health Center on Seattle's First Hill.

Yes, God would want you to have a procedure that USA Today will not allow to be described (in medical terms) in its ad space.
