Clarence Thomas, apparently upset that the Court decided to dodge the abortion issue this week, has some words to say on the matter – noting the real basis of abortion:
Like many elites of her day, Sanger accepted that eugenics was “the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.” Sanger, The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda, Birth Control Rev., Oct. 1921, p. 5 (Propaganda). She agreed with eugenicists that “the unbalance between the birth rate of the ‘unfit’ and the ‘fit’” was “the greatest present menace to civilization.” Ibid. Particularly “in a democracy like that of the United States,” where “[e]quality of political power has . . . been bestowed upon the lowest elements of our population,” Sanger worried that “reckless spawning carries with it the seeds of destruction.” Pivot of Civilization 177–178.
Back in Sanger’s day, many African-Americans understood that “unfit” was another word for “black”. These days, thanks largely to very effective lies, this understanding is muted, and we actually have black people carrying on Sanger’s work of eliminating black people. Make no mistake about it: birth control isn’t remotely the control of birth. It is the prevention of birth. As Chesterton pointed out – only very slightly tongue-in-cheek – real birth control would be all babies being born, and then we killed those we don’t like. Birth control, as such, is probably doing more to prevent the fit than the unfit from being born – but abortion: that allows you to get right at the problem. You just put your abortion clinics in poor and/or heavily minority neighborhoods, and you’re right on your way to eliminating the “unfit”.
OTOH, there is grounds for hope:
The last abortion clinic in the state of Missouri may shut down this week and its closing may have nothing to do with the new pro-life law the state legislature passed to ban abortions.
Currently the only abortion facility doing abortions on unborn babies in the state of Missouri is located in St Louis and run by the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Planned Parenthood officials said Tuesday that the abortion center may have to close down because the state Health Department may refuse to issue a new license for the abortion business.

Democrats have “evolved” just in the last ten years re: the abortion debate from a position of “safe but rare” to actually celebrating the practice and taking the position “anytime, anywhere”. I think it’s highly disturbing and fortunately so do the majority of Americans.
I will go on record though fully supporting abortion for Democrats. This world will be a MUCH better place without whiny unpleasant Democrats. Although better yet, let’s impose mandatory adoptions for Democrat couples. That is if Democrat men can actually reproduce. After seeing a picture of “pajama boy” I have my doubts.
Although better yet, let’s impose mandatory adoptions for Democrat couples.
We could dust off the LARK Program from the early 2000’s.
LOL, honestly terrorists just want jobs according to Democrats, and maybe free healthcare.
MARIE HARF: Where there are places around the world where there’s a lack of governance, a lack of economic opportunity. President George W. Bush talked about poverty being one of the drivers leading people to extremism. Where they are lacking in these kinds of opportunities, we need to talk about how to make that different, how to help our partners around the world give young men in that vulnerable age group a different path in life. Show them that there’s a different chance for them than joining a terrorist organization. Again, it’s one part of it, Wolf, but this is really a comprehensive way of looking how to combat extremism and it’s not one that fits into a sound bite sometimes as I’ve seen over the last 24 hours but it’s a really important piece of this.
Kamala Harris is dangerously authoritarian:
Sen. Harris: “I am going to put in place and require that states that have a history of passing legislation that is designed to … limit a women’s access to reproductive health care, that those laws have to come before my Department of Justice for a review and approval.”
She has previously said that if Congress does not pass acceptable gun legislation in the first 100 days of her regime, she will do something about it. Kamala is a self obsessed, low IQ person with strong tyrannical tendencies. In other words, the perfect Democrat.
And yet here is another decree from the Harris Regime:
Harris would force private companies with 100 employees or more to prove that they pay men and women the same for the same work every two years through an “equal pay certification.” Employers could be fined 1 percent of their profits for every 1 percent difference in pay.
“Dangerously authoritarian” and increasingly more blatant in her contempt for the Constitution.
‘F a state has a history of passing laws inhibiting the constitutional second amendment rights of its citizens, those laws will have to go to Barr’s department of justice for pre clearance”
I like it
I agree; “F” any state that has a history of passing laws inhibiting the constitutional second amendment rights of its citizens.
NYC is somewhat of an outlier in terms of abortion, but in a number of recent years more black babies were aborted than born.
If we (Conservatives) were the racists Liberals accuse us of being, we’d be celebrating the black abortion rate in NYC instead of finding it abhorrent and akin to genocide. Margaret Sanger’s dream is coming true.
