Just Enough of Her, Way Too Many of Them

In this week’s “manufacturing consent” moment, the NY Times conducts an interview with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader and never stops for one second to pause over her open and naked eugenics enthusiasm:

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.

Q: When you say that reproductive rights need to be straightened out, what do you mean?

JUSTICE GINSBURG: The basic thing is that the government has no business making that choice for a woman.

Note how the reporter simply skips the eugenics remark about eliminating undesirables and re-directs the conversation right back to standard pro-choice boilerplate? This, children, is how the MSM works in manufacturing consent to the dominant paradigms of our elites and, of course, our Robed Masters.
