New Nixon Tapes: Nixon supported abortion for interracial pregnancies

President Richard 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.”

The newly disclosed tapes were recorded by the secret microphones in the Oval Office between January and February 1973. Nixon resigned 20 months later because of the Watergate scandal.

I read about this story this morning. He has an interesting perspective! We had a discussion about this recently about how it does, indeed destroy families, and the complications that arise for the woman, the man, and others involved. Both short term and long term effects can be impactive.

It's been proven that the more children are "mixed" the higher their IQ is and the better looking they are going to turn out. My family is interracial. Seeing "abortions for interracial pregnancies" in print made me sick to my stomach!
There are some situations when abortion is a better way out for both the mother and the future child. but to say that you need to eliminate somebody on the basis of their skin color is immoral! That's not a big of a strech from the strategies of Hitler with the whole idea of creating the "perfect race".
