Eliminate the poor through abortion

It is already common knowledge that abortion kills more poor and black unborn then any others so in a sense Ron Weddingtons desires are with us today.

A letter to Bill Clinton written by the co-counsel who successfully argued the Roe v. Wade decision urged the then-president-elect to "eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country" by liberalizing abortion laws.

Ron Weddington, who with his wife Sarah Weddington represented "Jane Roe," sent the four-page letter to President Clinton's transition team before Clinton took office in January 1993.

Make abortion easy enough and the people too stupid to prevent unwanted pregnancy will flock to abortion like mindless moths to a bug zapper.

This is probably going to sound heartless(as my dad puts it), but what is wrong with having a higher educated and wealthy population in the United States if it is caused by poor uneducated women participating in an elective process exercising control over their bodies? (though I do advocate some controls on abortion such as first trimester only[or other such control], as well as informing the women about the abortion process)

It would probably help the immigration issue as well, leaving a large amount of space at the economic bottom, for the uneducated immigrants to come here.

That's not to mention the fact that unchecked population growth is a bad thing for the planet, and the better educated the remaining people on the planet are, the better. (and to head off the retort, I advocate against the forced non-voluntary killing of people already born for this cause)
