Could you imagine the uproar if a Republican justice had made a comment like this?
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.
So, Madam Justice, would you care to explain which groups of people you don't want reproducing? Who don't you want having to many of? Certainly reminds me of the goals of Hitler's Nuremberg Laws, which were praised by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.
Seems to me that we need another vacancy on the Supreme Court immediately -- whether by resignation or impeachment doesn't particularly matter to me.
