Another Liberal Atrocity

As you recall, some weeks ago Bill Bennet remarked on his radio show that we could reduce the crime rate by aborting all black babies. He was not advocating it, he was just illustrating the absurdity of attempting to predict the long-range effects of abortion on society. Suddenly all the geniuses on the left became total morons, taking the statement out of context and becoming purposely obtuse so they could express their phony moral outrage at the mere THOUGHT of aborting an entire class of people. (Liberals are never more comical than when they try to moralize.) But wait a minute. That's exactly what liberals in this country are doing. They are attempting to abort an entire class of people -- the imperfect. This powerful article should cause the bile to rise in your throat. As much as liberals love to invoke the name of Hitler, it is they who are dragging us back to the Nazis' practice of eugenics.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- If it's unacceptable for William Bennett to link abortion even conversationally with a whole class of people (and, of course, it is), why then do we as a society view abortion as justified and unremarkable in the case of another class of people: children with disabilities?

I have struggled with this question almost since our daughter Margaret was born, since she opened her big blue eyes and we got our first inkling that there was a full-fledged person behind them.

Whenever I am out with Margaret, I'm conscious that she represents a group whose ranks are shrinking because of the wide availability of prenatal testing and abortion. I don't know how many pregnancies are terminated because of prenatal diagnoses of Down syndrome, but some studies estimate 80 to 90 percent.

Margaret Sanger, the virulent racist who started the abortion movement in this country, founded Planned Parenthood with the express purpose of eliminating the imperfect and controlling the population of races that she held in contempt. Let's never forget the secret vision of Margaret Sanger, who once said, ""We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…" If there are any liberals who have read this far, shame on you. Shame.
