Right wingers are up in arms about this quote from Ruth Bader 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 Roe was 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.
The wingnutteria is trying to claim that Ginsburg was actually trying to advocate for this, or in Limbaugh’s case, that this is rock solid proof that feminists invented abortion because they are Nazis and that even though Sanger was pro-abortion (actually, she pushed for birth control in part because the heavy use of abortion to control fertility bothered her) because she was trying to wipe out black people (thoroughly discredited claim based on a misreading of history), he’s actually willing to imply now that Ginsburg and Sotomayor in cahoots to use abortion to wipe out white men. No, I’m not kidding.
