The quintessence of liberal/progressive compassion

And these motherfucking "progressives" have the unmitigated gall to call us racists and bigots!. Well, considering Margaret Sanger's philosophy, this should not come as a surprise. The Fuhrer would be so proud...

Question: 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?

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.

    Like Fidel said about Raul recently, s/he was misunderstood. It only SOUNDED racist and bigoted. I mean, we're not talking Clarence Thomas.
