Last week I wrote about some comments by Bill Maher that included this progressive gem: My motto is let’s kill the right people. Sure Bill, you and the rest of the Progressive Democrats for more than 100 years…
This is a party descended from eugenicists whose support for abortion and “end of life decisions” is based on a desire to “people” their inevitable man-made utopia with only the best the human race has to offer (as defined by them), and to use the power of the state to reduce the burden of any life that could be or has come to be inconvenient to that end
Margret Sanger was not giving away contraception because women had a right to it, she did it to prevent the birth of burdensome people she viewed as genetically inferior. She didn’t want them polluting her gene pool.
So today I am catching up on my reading and I discover a post by John Sexton in which he writes of an interview with the pro abortion Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg…
In her interview with Ginsburg three years, ago Emily Bazelon published this exchange on abortion rights:
Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong. [emphasis added]
Progressives love to talk about population control, Maher toes the same line, sometimes couching it with wit or humor, or redefining it to mask the true intent. But the bottom line is that progressives want to make sure that government has signed off on society killing the right people. They are concerned about “populations that we don’t want too many of.” They are the intellectual descendents of Margret Sanger and a progressive movement whose obsession about population growth was never about the actual number of people on the planet but the numbers of the wrong kind of people. (With the exception of the left-wing, pro-death, environmentalists who might not mind if we all died.)
Spend a few minutes in the eugenics section of the average progressives reading list (Plato, More, Hobbes, Marx/Engels and so on) and managed genocide is a pre-requisite to the perfect government run society. It only works if you have the right people. But before you can have only the right people, you need to manage away the wrong people. That was Sanger’s progressive doctrine, it is what Ginsburg meant no matter what she wants to claim now, and Bill Maher encapsulated it and sold it with a smirk, complete with a marketing slogan you can fit on a bumper sticker. My motto is lets kill the right people.
“I do believe in more DNA testing. My motto is let’s kill the right people. I’m pro-choice, I’m for assisted suicide, I’m for regular suicide, I’m for whatever gets the freeway moving – that’s what I’m for. It’s too crowded – the planet is too crowded – and we need to promote death.”
Sanger was talking about minorities and the generational poor. These people were not just not contributing, they were a drag on the nations resources. With the right approach they might only be a generation or two from self extinction. Ginsburg is speaking of the same thing when she references Roe in regard to the confounding Hyde amendment. Why wasn’t Medicaid going to be used for state financed control of the populations we don’t want to have too many of? That was the entire point of imagining state mandated abortion ‘Rights’ in the first place. Controlling certain populations.
This is a supreme court justice, to whom every word has some bearing on every other. She did not misspeak. Roe v. Wade was a stepping stone to manage killing the right people. Assisted suicide is another stepping stone to manage killing the right people. The Democrats recent contraception mandate is no different than Sangers.
To Progressives, claiming the world isn’t filled with too many people is just cover for thinking it is filled with too many of the wrong sort. And they would ask the state to do something about it.
