Colluther has not been right the entire time and as I implied was most likely oblivious to the history of this “quote”. I stand behind every statement I’ve made and your shrieking triggered replies are totally based on your own inference. You can keep shrieking and inferring or just ask me my opinion on this history of this and RBG’s views?Sure. Let's give it a go.
You've claimed in this thread that "it's been hanging in the air for 10 years" - which is WRONG.
Then when confronted with the Slate article from 2012 you backtracked that statement and said you had in fact read it. Which is DISHONEST when compared to the above quote..
You further quoted, out of context yet again, this time saying there was no follow-up whether she supported eugenics. Implying what exactly?
Throughout the entire thread you continually held to the wrong side of this thing and attacking Luther, who in fact, was right the entire time:
Why not just fess up that you jumped the gun on this and attached yourself to a talking point instead of finding out real truth?

Yawn...
That's some mighty fine wiggling.. Not really.
You are asserting that her quote supports what Neocon is claiming: That RBG is on record in her own words claiming that SHE PASSED Rowe vs Wade to keep the unwanted minority population down.
If that's not what you are asserting, then my claim that she said no such thing would be correct.
It has to be one or the other, does her quote mean what Neocon claims, or am I correct in stating that she said no such thing?
Sorry to all of the posters having to skim through all of this nonsense.
Btw Genuis here’s a hint. Let’s parse that Slate article written by the same author as the original interview. There’s a huge bigly amount of information including a “mea culpa”, the words used by the author describing her own interview process. It pretty much fits exactly what I have stated in this thread.This is what I think of this entire exchange:
To imagine that Justice Ginsburg would endorse eugenics as a motivation for supporting legal abortion, you have to be out to get her. I say that because this notion is so entirely at odds with her life’s work advocating for equal rights for women, especially poor women. That’s why it didn’t occur to me at the time. It’s a gotcha, and nothing more. And for the record, I’d be just as loath to impute support for eugenics to Scalia, because he’s also never done anything to suggest that he thinks that way.
“Emily, you know that that line, which you quoted accurately, was vastly misinterpreted,” she said. “I was surprised that the court went as far as it did in Roe v. Wade...
How many of them have a primary color as their hair color?I think most females are more than abortion issue voters. Sure you have your loud mouth loons like Milano, Harris and Warren but they are in the minority. I don't know a single woman who is pro abortion, every woman I associate with is 100% pro life.
She’s an incredible intellect and very accomplished. I think if she had hugely subversive views she’s smart enough to keep them hidden.She did make it very clear she is a racist though.

Again, absolutely cannot stand her politics and hope she gets off the court soon. But I have nothing but respect for her and hope her health issues resolve and she has time left to enjoy with her family... just get off the damn court or show up for work!
Her comments, when made, did cause quite the commotion. So much so, that when the interviewer got to sit down with RBG again, she asked RBG to clarify her statement. At that time, RBG said the quote was accurate but misinterpreted. And maybe it was. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. But I also know if a Republican said the same thing there would be unending cries of "racism" from the left.FACT CHECK: Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cite 'Population Growth' Concerns When Roe v. Wade Was Decided?
Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the Court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] 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 Roewas 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.
It is amazing what can be learned by including context.
I’m ok with that man it’s cool. Besides you teed me up 8 pages of funWe disagree.

In some ways though, supporting Planned Parenthood is a bit racist. It was founded by Margaret Sanger who was a proponent of Eugenics. I'm curious at what point an organization overcomes the reasons it was founded.
I've seen both sides of the argument, and truthfully, it's not a minefield I really want to wade into. I know my personal feelings, but I'm loathe to let my personal feelings be the standard others should follow.Abortion doesn’t exist it forces you to make sure the poor get educated and out of poverty or you go under as a nation.
With abortion you can break up the nuclear family and make sure you keep them poor and scared with just enough votes to sway elections but not enough votes to assume power.
It’s evil.

Justice Ginsburg Sets the Record Straight on Abortion and Population Control
The Slate story in fact validates what I’ve put forth. And this is a great quote from it.
Here’s more validation on the debate from Justice Ginsburg herself.
Nope. I was very clear on the fact that the interviewer issued no immediate follow up allowing Ginsburg to expand her answer and the interviewer even said that. I even said I read that specific article when I searched to grab the quote. You’re trying to split hairs on “follow up”. No immediate follow up was done. Fact. And I said the three year later “follow up” was moot, that horse had long ago escaped the barn and been beaten to death as a result. Justice Ginsburg in her own words acknowledged that in the quote from the article.Lol, who’s screeching now? Your posts suggest you didn’t even know about this article until I posted it. You thought she had been silent for 10 years!!! Even more evident by the fact that you are just now commenting on the article itself.
I’m not quoting, yet again, inferences you’ve made about eugenics, claims she’s been silent on this for 10 years, or any other inaccuracy that is proven flat wrong by this article you now thinks “validates you”. You must be a troll at this point. This is just silly at this point.

The fact is Slick I was playing the long game when I dropped that reply to colluther and you jumped the shark with your own inference. These last 8 or so pages are a small microcosm example of the last 10 years of the statement parsing. Pro lifers using the rallying cry that Justice Ginsburg indeed served up to them and the pro choice screeching and answering foul. Thanks for playing![]()
You never let me have any fun Percy.Well this has been a cringe-worthy exchange. Let us get back to discussing how much liberals enjoy murdering infants, drinking their blood and selling the parts to Hillary Clinton.
