\"Here's what Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg said in [last] Sunday's New York Times
Magazine: 'Frankly I had thought that at the time
(Roe v. Wade) was decided,' Ginsburg told her interviewer,
Emily Bazelon, 'there was concern about
population growth and particularly growth in populations
that we don't want to have too many of.' The
comment, which bizarrely elicited no follow-up
from Bazelon or any further coverage from the New
York Times — or any other major news outlet — was
in the context of Medicaid funding for abortion.
Ginsburg was surprised when the Supreme Court in
1980 barred taxpayer support for abortions for poor
women. After all, if poverty partly described the
population you had 'too many of,' you would want
to subsidize it in order to expedite the reduction of
unwanted populations. Left unclear is whether
Ginsburg endorses the eugenic motivation she ascribed
to the passage of Roe v. Wade or whether she
was merely objectively describing it. … In 1992,
Ron Weddington, co-counsel in the Roe v. Wade
case, wrote a letter to President-elect Clinton, imploring
him to rush RU-486 — a.k.a. 'the abortion
pill' — to market as quickly as possible. '[Y]ou can
start immediately to eliminate the barely educated,
unhealthy and poor segment of our country,' Weddington
insisted. All the president had to do was
make abortion cheap and easy for the populations
we don't want. 'It's what we all know is true, but we
only whisper it. … Think of all the poverty, crime
and misery … and then add 30 million unwanted
babies to the scenario. We lost a lot of ground during
the Reagan-Bush religious orgy. We don't have a
lot of time left.' Weddington offered a clue about
who, in particular, he had in mind: 'For every Jesse
Jackson who has fought his way out of the poverty
of a large family, there are millions mired in poverty,
drugs and crime.' Ah, right. Jesse Jackson. Got
it. Unlike Bazelon, I for one would like to know
whether Ginsburg believes there were — or are –
some populations in need of shrinking through abortion
and whether she thinks such considerations
have any place at the Supreme Court. And while
we're at it, it would be interesting to know what
Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor thinks
about such things.\" –National Review editor Jonah

First let me say I am vehemently opposed to abortion. It is a sin against God & all I believe but here is my opinion concerning the current situation. We have to fight the correct fight at the correct time or we will lose the whole war and war is indeed what we are engaged.
My point is if we mobilze the citizens to take back our country from a fiscal, moral standpoint that up holds personal responsibility then the issue of abortiion will be a moot point. It will be a battle we won't have to fight because we will have elected right thinking people to congress as well as president.
That is our initial battle and one from which we can not waver. We must take the fight to these people in their own back yards (states) and get freedom loving & God loving people elected to office then and only then will we restore this country to its heritage. We need to force the liberals into exile through the ballot box.
As important an issue as abortion is we can't fight the good fight in splinter groups. We must focus on the main enemy to our country and defeat it or we will never be able to win the abortion battle.
The liberal agenda is expanded by electing liberals who then appoint & support liberal justices and it must end now. We can do this but it will take a sense of urgnecy and a laser like focus in order to acheive the success we all want. Abortion is a battle and we want to win the over all war…..don't we?

I agree, this though appears to me to be an accidental glimpse into the heart of a Prog, an ugly glimpse mind you, but let it serve as a galvanizing statement, to illustrate just how moraly banlrupt the Progs can be, this is only the tip of the iceberg, Progs support reducing the world population by 2/3rds, this is scary. We are being attacked on many fronts.

I agree with both of you, but I have to say that Ginsberg's revelation did not come as a surprise to me. What may be a surprise to both of you is that Eugenics was taught in American schools as early as the 1920's. It was only after the horror of World War II that Americans turned their back on the concept. That did not mean that the concept died and in fact among elites the idea of reducing population to prevent \"stress\" to the planet became the replacement for the uncomfortable teachings of eugenics.
The issue that faces all of us is how do we educate those who are being used as pawns in this game so that their eyes are opened and grow ready to throw off their chains of bondage. It is my belief and it dovetails with PrintDawg that our mission is to identify easily defined set of goals, focus on those goals and then win the day by education and activism. The goals of MeridianTeaParty.com are as follows:
1) Constitutional Fidelity
2) Fiscal Resposibility
3) Personal Responsibility
Recent polls show that most people live their lives according to conservative values, so that puts us ahead in the fight since many already agree with our beliefs. By starting on common ground, we ultimately pave the way for understanding and set up the opportunity to educate.
