― The right to privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment‘s concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment‘s reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a women‘s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.‖ Quoting Justice Harry Blackmun in his delivery of the Supreme Court‘s January 22, 1973 Roe v.

This was pointed out by dissenting Judge William Rehnquist when he gave his comments on the Supreme Court‘s January 22, 1973 Roe v.. Wade decision in Harrison and Gilbert, Abortion Decisions…The 1970s , p. 51. Even if ―liberty‖ could encompass privacy, he said, liberty itself was not guaranteed absolutely. Only that it would not be restricted without ―due process of law.‖ 1037

This study was commissioned by Hewlett and is discussed in her book, Creating a Life: Professional Women…, p. 86. We are not told how many ultra-achieving women originally wanted no children but we are told that 31% of them at age 41-55 are childless and still desire children.

What happened to the eugenics movement? Eugenics got a bad name after the Holocaust because, after all, that belief started it. In the United States, government officials resigned, eugenicists became unpopular and the American Eugenics Society changed its name. ( Roberts, Killing
the Black Body: Race…, p. 70). But it still operates. It‘s now called The Society for the Study of Social Biology – and today you can still subscribe to their journal , Social Biology. Nothing changes, does it? One of the Eugenic Society‘s founders, Frederick Osborne, co-founded The Population Council with the (in)famous billionaire John D. Rockefeller III (brother to David). In a letter to Rockefeller, Osborne explains his goals, ―The best hope of improving genetic qualities of the race lies in the universal extension of effective and easy means of birth control.‖ This work could be achieved best ―in the name of the Population Council than in the name of eugenics.‖ ( Quoting Frederick Osborn from an earlier text by Mary Meehan. Meehan obtained the quotations from the Frederick Osborn Papers and the American Eugenics Society Papers at the American Philosophical Society Library, Philadelphia, PA. Quoted in (
Killing the Black Body: Race…, pp. 58, 141) Same motives. ( Gordon, The Moral Property of Women…, p. 281.) Just a different name. It should not be a surprise that out of ten men on The Population Council‘s boards, six had been associated with eugenics. ( Gordon, The Moral Property of Women…, p. 281.) It‘s interesting that The Population Council has been very active in developing three new types of birth control: the Copper T IUD, Norplant, and Mirena. (― Wikipedia,‖ Population Council.‖) These they distribute to third world and impoverished nations as an act of charity – or was it eugenics? After all, they said themselves that eugenics was best achieved and accepted through birth control.

Need more evidence that eugenics and birth control are tied together? Take dual memberships and sponsorship. Take the Rockefeller Foundation, which, as well as supporting the eugenic- based Population Council, also provides very generous support to a powerful birth control organization we know as Planned Parenthood. ( Wikipedia, ―Planned Parenthood.‖) Take Alan Guttmacher. He was president of Planned Parenthood and also vice president of the American Eugenics Society. ( Wikipedia, ―Alan Guttmacher.‖ ) Or Osborne‘s cousin – who refocused the Population Council on population control, while also becoming a leading figure in Planned Parenthood. ( Refocusing on Population Control: Wikipedia, ―American Eugenics Society.‖ Becoming a leading figure in Planned Parenthood: Gordon, The Moral Property of Women…p. 281). Then you have Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood, but was also a member of the Eugenics‘ Society. ( SourceWatch, ―Margaret Sanger.) Apparently, Planned Parenthood was even founded in the offices of the British Eugenics Society! ( Tarpley and Chaitkin, ―Chapter III: Race Hygiene: Three Bush Family Alliances,‖ George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography.) The ties keep going. Clearly, eugenics is not dead; it was just refocused as ‗birth control‘.

According to the study, 0.6 % of 2190 victims became pregnant after the rape, but 3 times that many were already pregnant. This information comes from Sandra Kathleen Mahkorn, ―Pregnancy and Sexual Assault,‖ The Psychological Aspects of Abortion, p. 191 quoted in Reardon, Aborted Women, p. 94. 1083 Strange isn‘t it?

or whether it was the product of their imagination. Wambach does make some effort to keep her studies objective by -comparing the results from both conservative Christians with new age Californians (the answers under hypnosis were essentially the same) -realizing that if the subjects had just told her what she had expected to hear – she would not have got the responses that she got. -realizing that subjects were not just telling her what they wanted her to hear – because some of the things they said under hypnosis surprised them or went against what they believed. -providing a brief time to answer to encourage spontaneous feedback instead of imagination -discarding any results of patients who had read her article on the topic and therefore may have responded with answers already given -discarding any results where patients showed signs of being awake and not hypnotized 1118
