The comments made by this woman were not only out there but could be, for some, offensive.

Thoughts?

You can't make a blanket statement like that... but I'm sure some share that idea.

Increasingly, affluent white couples are having less kids or abstaining altogether. If I asked the board about this, there would be legions of stories of white people under 40 with no intention of having kids. This puts more pressure on the remaining white couples to procreate and not terminate pregnancies.

And, yes, I have listened to frightened right-wing elites decry the fact that the white, "gifted" among us simply aren't having kids. It goes without saying that they do not want white elites to abort.

You and every other nutjob who believes there is some sort of concerted effort for whites to curb abortion in an effort to preserve their racial majority, needs to be checked into an institution, medicated, and tossed into a padded room to live out the remainder of your lives without spreading this crap to anyone around you.

This came from a liberal. I cannot honestly believe that an Ivy League professor would come out with that.

That was the dumbest line of thinking I've heard from an obviously intelligent person. Just goes to show that dumb has nothing to do with IQ.

Stats say that whites are less likely to have abortions than minorities.

All human beings should be against late term abortions, because it is appalling. Make the decision earlier.

I made no assertion otherwise. For the xenophobic right-wingers, it is still essential to keep up white numbers as high as possible in this "invasion" of brown people.

If right wingers priority were to keep a white majority -- protecting abortion rights would be in their platform. You may be buying in a little too much into the MSNBC drivel.
