American Greatness: How the Eugenics Movement Made Race-Based Abortions Normal

If abortion is culling the black population and leading to a more racially homogeneous and eugenically fit America, it sure doesn’t seem to be working out that way.

American Greatness:

“This is evident in how today’s white supremacists embrace abortion, cheering that it eliminates non-white children at a disproportionate rate, thus limiting the growth of the nonwhite population. White supremacist Richard Spencer has argued that abortion is essential in bringing about his ideal, racially homogenous American people. He supports abortion because, as he puts it, “the people who are having abortions are generally very often black or Hispanic or from very poor circumstances.” White women, Spencer notes, avail themselves of abortion “when you have a situation like Down Syndrome”— an acceptable use of abortion, in his view. Meanwhile, Spencer says, “the unintelligent and blacks and Hispanics . . . use abortion as birth control,” something that in his view ought to be celebrated.

In the view of modern-day racists, the pro-life position is “dysgenic,” by which they mean that protecting babies from the lethal violence of abortion will harm later generations by allowing supposedly undesirable characteristics to continue to be passed on. In Spencer’s white-supremacist Radix Journal, Aylmer Fisher wrote: “The only ones who can’t [avoid unwanted pregnancy] are the least intelligent and responsible members of society: women who are disproportionately Black, Hispanic, and poor.” Spencer and his racist ilk make this hateful argument because non-white and low-income women are indeed the ones who most often have abortions today. …”

When abortion was illegal in the vast majority of the United States before the Roe v. Wade decision, most states were de facto White ethnostates. White Nationalists would do pretty much anything (except convert to Christianity) to return to those pre-Roe v. Wade demographics.

What does the country look like today in 2022 after nearly 50 years of legal abortion?
