Abortion is the murder of a baby in its mother's womb. Unfortunately many women have to undergo it for economic or health reasons, although abortion is also undergone due to loose sexual mores. Traditionally illegal and highly frowned upon in Russia, it was legalized in the USSR in 1920 (see the page Family for the reasoning), criminalized in 1936, but was re-legalized under the revisionist Nikita Khrushchev due to pressure from the West and a seething hatred of any policy enacted under Stalin, which led to a decline in women's health and demographic problems. It was nonetheless still strongly discouraged and recognized as an evil, just as it was before.
In the US, the push for legalizing abortion has its roots in eugenics, Malthusianism, and racism, the idea being that the "lower classes" and "lower races" were outbreeding the "genetically superior" sections of society. Liberal heroine Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself admitted this:
"The ruling [Harris v. McRae] about that surprised me. 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."
The founder of Planned Parenthood, who also invented the term "birth control" and founded the first abortion clinic in the U.S, Margaret Sanger, was an open eugenicist, being a member of the American and English Eugenics Societies, and genocidal racist. She was quoted saying:
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities…We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.[1]
The campaign for Birth Control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of Eugenics.
She founded clinics mostly in lower-income and black neighborhoods, and this legacy was continued by PP, which still has clinics mostly in the same types of neighborhoods. The Rockefellers began to push heavily for abortion and contraception in the early 20th century, funding organizations like the American Birth Control League and Bureau for Social Hygiene, and ramped it up in the '50s, funding more Malthusian eugenicist organizations like Planned Parenthood, the Population Council and the Birth Control League, and funneling money into various Christian groups to change their stance on contraception and abortion. It was primarily pushed as part of a plot to commit genocide on black people and Puerto Ricans (although "ethnic" Catholics - Poles, Italians, etc. - were a concern for the Malthusians earlier on and poor whites in general always remained a concern). The Rockefeller Commission Report on Population Growth, which was in large part responsible for RvW, saw black birth rates as the largest "problem":
If there is one demographic segment of the population that the Rockefeller Commission believed was a problem, it was African Americans.
The Report said that “if blacks could have the number of children they want and no more, their fertility and that of the majority white population would be very similar.” The goal could not be more plain: get blacks to stop reproducing. What they need, the Report said, was greater access to “the various means of fertility control.”[2]
Even as late as 1992 this was openly admitted:
In 1992, Ron Weddington, co-counsel in the Roe vs. Wade case, wrote a letter to President-elect Clinton, imploring him to rush RU-486 — a.k.a. “the abortion pill” — to market as quickly as possible. “[Y]ou can start immediately to eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country,” Weddington insisted. All the president had to do was make abortion cheap and easy for the populations we don’t want.
Weddington offered a clue about who, in particular, he had in mind: “For every Jesse Jackson who has fought his way out of the poverty of a large family, there are millions mired in poverty, drugs and crime.”[3]
Hitler supported abortion in the Slavic lands occupied by Germany, in order to commit genocide on the native population.
In view of the large families of the native [Slavic] population, it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible.[4]
It has also become for profit by this point, meaning there's a whole industry interested in killing as many babies as possible, the biggest abortion provider being Planned Parenthood.
