CNSNews.com reports on an interview to be published in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she thought the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion was predicated on the Supreme Court majority’s desire to diminish “populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”

Huh?

Did she say that she thought the Roe decision was a prelude to ethnic cleansing? And as a liberal woman she supports the “right to choose”; presumably that can be interpreted to mean that she supported the liberal Burger Court’s 7 – 2 decision. And she opposed the Hyde Amendment that prohibited Medicaid funds from being used to pay for abortions because that would have prevented “poor women” from having ready access to them.

In 1973 – what ethnic groups in the United States were “poorest” and, at least as a percentage of their total population, were the largest segments of the welfare society? Jews? Nope. Italians? Nah. Irish? Not a chance. Asians? Yeah, particularly with the influx of Vietnamese refugees . Hispanics? They were becoming a significant demographic in some areas of the country. But there was one specific group that was perceived as a huge component of the bottom of the socioeconomic strata in the US. Can we say “blacks”? You betcha.

Okay – so let’s examine the logic here. The Roe v Wade decision was a liberal interpretation of the Constitution by the liberal majority of a generally acknowledged liberal Supreme Court, which was embraced by Justice Ginsburg, one of the most liberal judges in the country today. And she thought abortion was a means to control the size of certain “populations”, and was opposed to attempts to prevent funding for the poor.

Holy buckets, Batman. Does this mean that we’ve been bamboozled by all that PC doublespeak that sounded like the liberals were sooooooo concerned with the well-being of the downtrodden? The poor, the tired, the huddled masses. When in fact, the liberal intelligensia really was planning on funding their self-extinction? First by legalizing abortions – and now by promoting the “right to die” (euthanasia) and socialized healthcare, which inevitably will result in rationing – ala Dick Lamm’s “obligation to die” for the old and chronically infirm.

Think I’m being farfetched? Look at Europe – where the birthrate in many countries is below sustainable levels for certain groups – primarily the ones that bought into the liberal/socialist agenda.

Conclusion: Liberals have created a means to assure their own self-destruction, and conservatives are the only ones standing in the way. Because, at the end of the day, liberals hate everybody.
