Abortion and Eugenics

Abortion has long been promoted as a form of selective population control, a key component of the eugenics movement.

Efforts to legalize abortion became most prominent during the height of the "population explosion" panic (which was the new eugenics movement) and a time of national race riots. The social engineering context of legalized abortion was most recently confirmed by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who told the New York Times:

Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.[1]

You can learn more about abortion and black genocide in America by viewing the documentary Maafa 21.

Human Engineering

Given the rush to engage in embryo and stem cell research for the purpose of genetically modifying the human race, the Elliot Institute has proposed model legislation to create a preemptive ban on modifying the human genome.
