Is abortion still about eugenics?

When did the rationale about abortion change from eugenics to a woman's right to choose? Is the Negro Project really over or did it just morph into something more palatable? Abortion is abortion. Does its status as right or wrong depend unpon the rationale justifying its use? Is it right for China to fine tune its population through abortion? What can be done about the surplus of Chinese men due to preference among Chinese to abort baby girls?

Should a man have any rights in the abortion decision?

Just curious about these issues.

Margaret Sanger set the bar for reducing the number of undesirables. Abortion is still about this. Among blacks the most dangerous place for a black person is in his mother's womb.

There is a middle position that is pragmatic. I support that women do get pregnant when they were really trying not to, and I oppose the government's hand in forcing her to carry it to term. I also accept that there is a point where the baby can live outside the womb and there is a difference between ending a pregnancy and ending a life. There is that middle ground where we can help women that don't want to become mothers yet, but also protect the unborn.

So, does my stance piss you off, or does it make sense?

@IronHamster So the same people who get to decide what "hate speech" is and what gender pronouns are appropriate also get to decide when a fetus is able to be treated as a piece of lunchmeat and when it is a precious human being? The same people who decide when a teenager can mutilate himself or herself to change into the gender they were "really ment to be"?

Do they get to decide the exact second when that happens? Amazing!

Sounds like a plan. Please let me know who these magical people are so I can bow down in admiration.

@irishmolly72 I understand. They pass laws about the "life and health of the mother" then "health" gets redefined as "wants". Abuse like this in the past is good reason to not trust them now.

I like the law requiring an ultrasound prior to abortion. Any woman looking at her baby and feeling nothing should probably remove herself from the gene pool anyway.

@IronHamster Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

@IronHamster A certain kind of irony exists in your comment as you are not allowing them to remove themselves, but continue your nonsense.

@IronHamster We deplorables have to stick up for the "undesirables". Nobody else will.
