In 1992, Roe v. Wade co-counsel Ron Weddington urged the new president-elect to rush RU-486 to market. He wrote:
"You can start immediately to eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country. No, I'm not advocating some sort of mass extinction of these unfortunate people. Crime, drugs and disease are already doing that. The problem is that their numbers are not only replaced but increased by the birth of millions of babies to people who can't afford to have babies. There, I've said it. It's what we all know is true, but we only whisper it, because as liberals who believe in individual rights, we view any program which might treat the disadvantaged as discriminatory, mean-spirited and ....well....so Republican."
He continues:
"Government is also going to have to provide vasectomies, tubal ligations and abortions....There have been about 30 million abortions in this country since Roe v. Wade. Think of all the poverty, crime and misery...and then add 30 million unwanted babies to the scenario. We lost a lot of ground during the Reagan-Bush religious orgy. We don't have a lot of time left."
Here we have the morning after pill and abortion as liberal social policies against the 'disadvantaged' and 'unfortunate'. This is discrimination in the form of unjustified homicide, at least with respect to the abortion aspect. But here we do not have Jim Crow laws, but Roe v. Wade and RU-486. It is a type of discrimination that kills, at least with respect to abortion. The logic is plain and we have it from the Roe v. Wade co-counsel himself.
