Whoa........

Okay, I'm not normally one to involve myself in the whole abortion debate, but this was today's number one e-mailed article on the Washington Post website and all I have to say is "whoa....."

Money quote:

"And here's one more piece of un-discussable baggage: This question is a small but nonetheless significant part of what's driving the abortion discussion in this country. I have to think that there are many pro-choicers who, while paying obeisance to the rights of people with disabilities, want at the same time to preserve their right to ensure that no one with disabilities will be born into their own families. The abortion debate is not just about a woman's right to choose whether to have a baby; it's also about a woman's right to choose which baby she wants to have."

They had a word for this back in the early 20th century......it was called eugenics.
