Wade decision on abortion was predicated on the Supreme Court majority&#8217;s desire to diminish \u00e2\u20ac\u0153populations that we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to have too many of.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p>Did she say that she thought the <em>Roe<\/em> decision was a prelude to ethnic cleansing?  And as a liberal woman she supports the &#8220;right to choose&#8221;; presumably that can be interpreted to mean that she supported the liberal Burger Court&#8217;s 7 &#8211; 2 decision.  And she opposed the Hyde Amendment that prohibited Medicaid funds from being used to pay for abortions because that would have prevented &#8220;poor women&#8221; from having ready access to them. <\/p>\n<p>In 1973 &#8211; what ethnic groups in the United States were &#8220;poorest&#8221; 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 &#8220;blacks&#8221;? You betcha.<\/p>\n<p>Okay &#8211; so let&#8217;s examine the logic here.  The <em>Roe v Wade<\/em> 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 &#8220;populations&#8221;, and was opposed to attempts to prevent funding for the poor.<\/p>\n<p>Holy buckets, Batman.  Does this mean that we&#8217;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 &#8211; and now by promoting the &#8220;right to die&#8221; (euthanasia) and socialized healthcare, which inevitably will result in rationing &#8211; ala Dick Lamm&#8217;s &#8220;obligation to die&#8221; for the old and chronically infirm.<\/p>\n<p>Think I&#8217;m being farfetched?  Look at Europe &#8211; where the birthrate in many countries is below sustainable levels for certain groups &#8211; primarily the ones that bought into the liberal\/socialist agenda.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>              <a href=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/linus.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/linus.png\" alt=\"linus\" title=\"linus\" width=\"267\" height=\"265\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-711\" srcset=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/linus.png 267w, http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/linus-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                 &#8220;I Love Humanity, It&#8217;s People I Can&#8217;t Stand&#8221; &#8211; Linus VanPelt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNSNews.com reports on an interview to be published in Sunday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s New York Times Magazine that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she thought the landmark Roe v.
