Eugenics: Three Generations, No Imbeciles: Virginia …

It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind Three generations of imbeciles are enough. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Writing for the majority in the Supreme Courts affirmative decision of this landmark case, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. described Charlottesville native Carrie Buck as the probable potential parent of socially inadequate offspring, likewise afflicted stating that her welfare and that of society will be promoted by her sterilization.

Current scholarship shows that Carrie Bucks sterilization relied on a false diagnosis premised on the now discredited science of eugenics. It is likely that Carries mother, Emma Buck, was committed to a state institution because she was considered sexually promiscuous, that the same diagnosis was made about Carrie when she became an unwed mother at the age of 17 due to being raped, and that her daughter Vivian was diagnosed as not quite normal at the age of six months largely in support of the legal effort to sterilize Carrie.

Liddick: Population, progeny and politics

[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring. Margaret Sanger, Birth Control Review, April 1932

Anyone finding the above disturbing is in good company. Anyone not recognizing the author as one of the founders of Planned Parenthood needs to brush up on their American history.

The branch of medicine carrying the anodyne title Reproductive Health Services has a long and sordid past which may help to explain why it attracts partisans willing to mask its most repugnant practices with the name of freedom. Why this segment of society believes that the legal ability of a doctor to dismember an unborn child in its mothers womb, because she wishes it, is an indispensable cornerstone of that mothers freedom as an individual may be incomprehensible, but they believe it. Further, it seems to be a doctrine of faith with the ascendant Progressive wing of the Democrat party.

Witness the recent Colorado Senate Bill 175, the grotesquely-titled Reproductive Health Freedom Act, which proposes a number of entitlements, including the right to make decisions free from discrimination, coercion or violence. This seems unobjectionable until one asks the innocent question would the inability to pay for an abortion constitute discrimination? Do not doubt, the answer is yes, which creates serious problems.

Section one of the bill posits entitlements to make reproductive health care decisions without interference from the state, and to have access to information based on current evidence-based scientific data and medical consensus. This is an attempt to remove those pesky emotional and religious objections to any reproductive health care decision, including abortion of any type, but again in their enthusiasm, the authors have forgotten their history. Not too long ago eugenics, represented by the sentiment at the top of the column, was a widely-accepted example of evidence-based scientific data and medical consensus.

Section two of the bill opines that action is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety. Possibly because of the rampaging, torch-and-pitchfork-bearing mobs destroying clinics across our fair state.

Despite the manifest threat to public safety, the bills sponsors spiked it last Wednesday. Perhaps they realized that, when the Catholic Archbishop and Greek Orthodox Metropolitan appear together on the Capitol steps to oppose your bill, you are in very deep, indeed.

The real safety issue is that of Democrat control of the state legislature. The party of Obama obviously thinks it can continue to rule Colorado through fear, ginning up the shopworn bogeyman of a Republican war on women. Coming from the party whose immediate past president was a serial sex offender and whose present leader pays his female employees 87 percent of what males receive, the accusation is both pathetic and hilarious.

Transparent hypocrisy aside, SB 175 does offer opportunity. Id like to see the government out of this contentious area, and I think many Coloradoans would agree. But if there is to be no interference, so there should be no subsidy. Not one thin dime of government money should go to support any aspect of reproductive health services, ever, anywhere.

By the same logic that sees government controls on abortion services and abortifacients as violating a womans right to choose, governments forcing those with moral or religious objections to pay for these services through taxes violates the right of this group to follow its beliefs, so that must go as well. Remember, as it is unconstitutional for Congress to establish a religion, so it is impermissible to prohibit the free exercise thereof. Said free exercise not being confined solely to churchgoing, despite the fevered argument of the Left.
