In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court opinion on abortion uses the phrase "domestic supply of infants." It's on page 34 [View all]SpankMe
(3,721 posts)This appears to be the development of an idea that the demand for infants (i.e., people who want to adopt) is greater than the supply of infants due to abortion. Thus, the state has a right to eliminate abortion as a means to increase the domestic supply of infants for people who want to adopt.
This is not only misogynist, it's racist. Note the specificity of "domestic" supply. He's saying that we must favor good old American (probably white) babies instead of adopting babies from Russia, China, Central America or other impoverished nations with foreign adoption programs. (I know the Russian and Chinese programs are all but stopped. But I use the prior existence of them to illustrate my hypothesis.)
The passage also shows brutal judicial incompetence. The moron is so desperate for rationales to eliminate abortion (i.e., allow the state to make it illegal) that he's invoking absurd and cartoonish examples that show his truly low level of maturity and sub-par intelligence.
Also, this line of reasoning smacks of eugenics.
You just know this passage will be removed from the final version of the ruling.
