WASHINGTON — On Jan. 23, 1973, when the Supreme Court struck down state criminal abortion laws in Roe v. Wade, President Richard M. Nixon made no public statement. But privately, newly released tapes reveal, he expressed ambivalence.

Nixon worried that greater access to abortions would foster “permissiveness,” and said that “it breaks the family.” But he also saw a need for abortion in some cases, such as interracial pregnancies.

“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,” he told an aide, before adding: “Or a rape.”

I won't lie, seeing some teenage whore single mother pushing around a black kid does make my stomach a bit iffy.

nothing shocking about this

Nixon was a racist and anti-semite

Interesting about Roe v. Wade.  He said he's against abortion,
but in the 7 - 2 decision, 3 of the justices for it were Nixon appointees.  2 were Eisenhower's.

It was also decided in '73 on his watch.

So you could say, Republicans are responsible for Roe v. Wade.
