Eugenics Today

Remember when Hitler was the face of eugenics?  Or Margaret Sanger?  Or Oliver Wendell Holmes?

That was then.  This is now.

...“Never thought I’d see a doctor testify in an Assembly hearing that we should limit abortion because too few kids are being born with down syndrome these days, but here we are,” tweeted Justin Bielinski, the director of Communications and campaign manager for Democratic state Sen. Chris Larson. Justin Bielinski, who previously worked for Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, later deleted the tweet....

In all honesty, eugenics (killing the 'weak' or 'feeble-minded') has been a favorite in Madison for more than a century, although it was the Republicans who pushed it back in the early 1900's, along with UW's Van Hise and Dr. Rogers, who founded the Oconomowoc mental hospital.

But now it's the Democrats who are perfectly happy with killing.   

Maybe it's a function of being in a capital city.  That would explain a lot, wouldn't it?
