No Mixed Babies Please

"Black Butterfly" by Deniece Williams

...you've survived, now your moment has arrived / now your dream has finally been born...

I don't know why, but I decided to look up some information about the Roe v. Wade case. I read a about it as I have several times, and can't understand why it is such an issue in this country. If you think abortions are wrong, don't have one. But I will save my opinion for another entry.

Anyway, the thing that struck me in the article was about the opinions of presidents since Nixon. Nixon was president during the court case and didn't say anything publicly. However, records of private conversations reveal that Nixon thought there were times in which abortion was necessary. He is heard saying to an aide that "There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white or a rape."

By that he mean interracial babies should be aborted. All I could say was Wow. But it is Richard Nixon. Should I be surprised?
George H. W. Bush supported abortion rights
Presidents Henry Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush opposed abortion. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and , although Bush in his early political career before he was elected president (still can't believe that happened). But it is remarkable nonetheless.

Ronald Reagan legalized abortion in California in 1967, six years before the Supreme Court decision. What a useless man.

Amazing. Abortion is immoral and wrong, except if the baby is mixed with Black. White people are funny.
