Eugenics

As we see it, Sen. Ben Sasse's Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act presented Democrat lawmakers with a simple, moral choice: Protect the life of an infant born alive or guarantee a dead baby to any woman seeking an abortion. Senate Democrats opted to vote for the dead baby guarantee.

The networks demand visually compelling images to drive coverage, and the Northam – Fairfax – Herring scandal has no compelling images: No howling mobs outside the Governor’s residence, no dramatic impeachment hearings with graphic testimony about alleged assaults at the hands of Lt. Gov. Fairfax, no college friends describing the blackface rap routine A.G. Herring performed.

Warning: article includes some historical references that may be offensive to some readers. The racist behavior of Northam and Herring has exposed the deep vein of hypocrisy on race that runs through the Democrat Party. We believe both Northam and Herring should resign, because in addition to their racist pasts, they were elected through a fraud on the good people of Virginia who have worked hard to heal the Old Dominion’s racial divisions.

We applaud Senator McConnell and over forty other Republicans for co-sponsoring S.130 the “Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act”, but whether the bill ever gets a vote depends entirely upon which Mitch McConnell shows up – the somnolent one who caves to every Schumer threat of a filibuster or the aggressive one who is muscling through S.1 to limit the President’s options in Syria and Afghanistan.

By Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
The headline events of last week revealed Capitol Hill’s Republican leaders Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steve Scalise and the rest of the House GOP leadership team and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Assistant Republican Leader John Thune and Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso to be feckless, cowardly and unwilling to fight for the GOP’s principles.

In his support for “partial birth infanticide” and race baiting campaign ads Ralph Northam ran as the perfect Democratic candidate for Governor. Now that the real Ralph Northam and his racist background has been revealed, his willingness to lie his way through a crisis in the best tradition of Bill and Hillary Clinton is likely to save his tenure as Governor.

The Gillespie campaign's opposition research was pathetic, but the media, and Washington Post in particular, don’t look for evidence of racism on the part of Democrats because they are deeply invested in the narrative that Republicans are racists and they don’t have any interest in turning up evidence that would disrupt that narrative by showing real racism on the part of Democrats.

In their embrace of "partial birth infanticide" Democrats in Virginia and New York have entered a realm of depravity not seen since Adolf Hitler began a program of eugenics and euthanasia to “cleanse” German society of people the Nazi elite deemed undesirable.

The subtext of Marcus’s piece is that children are not gifts from God — that parents have a duty to respect regardless of their feelings — but property they can keep or destroy as they see fit. Woe to the child that is deemed “unwanted.” As defective as older parental cultures might have been, at least they didn’t involve that level of hubris and domination. In cases of hardship, those cultures turned to adoption, not abortion. Now adoption isn’t even mentioned and only the feelings of parents matter.

Pro-abortion advocates, such as Ruth Marcus, claim they are standing up for the rights of American women. The reality is what they are advocating is a new wave of eugenics through which those who can, through pre-natal genetic testing, be determined to have Down syndrome or who are otherwise deemed undesirable are hunted down and killed.

For every problem this macabre culture seeks to eliminate, it creates multiple new ones. It prides itself on lowering the number of diseases, even as it increases the number of deaths. But in a grim irony the “perfect” child to which it aims will turn out to be as unfortunate as the orphans of the past, reduced to confusion about the identity of his or her biological parents.

How a society treats its most vulnerable members, we’re told by Hillary, is the true test of its character. But by that standard she has none. She favors killing the weak in the womb. Look at her clamoring for the elimination of the Hyde Amendment. That policy is nothing more than Margaret Sanger’s vision of government-financed abortions for undesirables (which will lead ultimately to government-forced abortions).
