President Nixon said that "abortions are sometimes necessary because you might have a black and a white or a rape". I am sure many Republican harbour this view as well and probably wish that Nixon would have been right concerning the President we now have.
How do you feel about Nixon's comments?

I see where that quote is attributed to Nixon, but what evidence do you have that that sentiment applies to all Republicans?

I'm a Republican and am ashamed. I do not share this view.

So it seems that Richard Nixon was paranoid about more than just the 1972 election!

Well ... Your assumptions are wrong yet again. I voted republican but I am against abortion and racism. Bi-racial children are just as beautiful as the children who are mono-racial.

Well, being that I don't define my belief on that of a party and measure each topic and position individually, I view Nixon as just another person with a mixed up set of principals.

Amazing isn't it?...You can be sure many of today's Republicans think that way as well, though few will come right out and admit it.

Racism has always been a mainstay of the GOP

Bashing blacks and Mexicans certainly don't hurt them. Especially in the south!
