LEFT WING LOONS Title: Jane Fonda is Worried About Republicans but Not Stalin, Hitler, and Ceausescu Jane Fonda is Worried About Republicans but Not Stalin, Hitler, and Ceausescu Jane Fonda didn’t hold back during a CNN interview on Friday after she asked about her opinion of the Republican presidential candidates. The 73-year-old, who starred in Barbarella and Coming Home, and earned an Academy Award for her portrayal of a prostitute in Klute, was asked by Piers Morgan to comment on the intellectual capacity of the GOP candidates. She replied: “They all scare me frankly. I get depressed and scared when I look at the Republican debates. . . . I’m worried about anybody getting elected to office who says we have to do away with or privatize social security, we have to reduce medical health insurance, we have to not raise taxes.” Fonda has been on the wrong side of so many issues that it’s a wonder that anybody pays attention to her. Oh, I forgot! She was being interviewed by the Leftist media. They often troll for the mindless. Jane Fonda has had a varied and somewhat controversial career. She was photographed seated on an anti-aircraft battery in North Vietnam in 1972. Since then she has been known as “Hanoi Jane.” She’s had a successful acting career (two Academy Awards), turned out a series of fitness videos from 1982 through 1995, married media mogul Ted Turner, is working on her fourth marriage, and continues to say and do stupid things. Although claiming to be a Christian, Fonda is an outspoken advocate of abortion rights. In 2005, Planned Parenthood honored Fonda with the Margaret Sanger Award, named for the organization’s pro-abortion and eugenicist founder. In a blog post, Fonda stated that a “power struggle . . . has existed from the very beginning of the 120-year fight over reproductive rights. Every dictator — Stalin, Ceaucescu [sic], Hilter [sic] — has made anti-choice a central component of their agenda.” Similar to her comments to Morgan about the GOP, Fonda is a bit light on the facts. Stalin opposed abortion, not for religious reasons but because he needed workers and soldiers. In a 2003 New York Times article titled “Birth Control in Russia,” we find this utilitarian tidbit: “In 1936, Stalin banned abortion to stimulate the birth rate. In a widely resented decree that was dropped after his death, Stalin made it clear that the nation’s couples should produce workers and soldiers as vigorously as new Soviet industries were turning out trucks and steel beams.” By the way, Russia is losing population at a rapid rate. The same is true of Eastern European nations and much of Europe. Consider these statistics on Russia: “Since the 1990s . . . Russia has been losing population at a rate of 750,000 a year — not to emigration, but to death. By one count, the Russian population is down to 143 million. President Putin has predicted that only 124 million Russians will be alive in 2015. In 2000, the United Nations projected that, at its present birth rate, by 2050 Russia’s population would fall to 114 million. In a 2005 study, the United Nations estimated that, together, Ukraine and Russia will lose 50 million people — 25 percent of their combined populations — by mid-century. The Slavs are dying out, and the geostrategic implications are enormous.” You can read more depressing demographic statistics in Buchanan’s new book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? In 1966 there were four abortions for every live birth in Romania. Women were aborting their children because they did not want to bring them into the dark world of Communism. In that same year, Nicolae Ceau_escu (1918–1989) issued Decree No. 770 prohibiting abortion and artificial contraception. Like Stalin, Ceau_escu was an atheist. He was not motivated by religion or concern for families or unborn children. His anti-abortion policies were strictly utilitarian, “an attempt to build his country into a colossus through population growth.”[1] In an ironic twist, Ceau_escu’s anti-abortion policies led to his downfall since it was the children born after the Decree went into effect who took part in the revolution of 1989 that led to the tyrant’s execution. If present birth rates among conservatives continues upward, liberals will be out of power through attrition. At least one very liberal columnist has noticed the problem: “[F]or the past 30 years or so, conservatives — particularly those of the right-wing red-state Christian strain — have been out-breeding liberals by a margin of at least 20 percent, if not far more. . . . Libs just aren’t procreating like they could/should be.”[2] Fonda’ third anti-abortion example is Adolf Hitler. Once again, certain facts are ignored in her claim that tyrants are against abortion in the same way that those who “grant . . . personhood to the fetus” are against abortion. Curiously, Fonda doesn’t say anything about the one-child policy and forced abortions of the Communist Chinese. In Broken Earth, Steven Mosher writes that “[Chinese] vigilantes abduct pregnant women on the streets and haul them off, sometimes handcuffed or trussed, to abortion clinics. [Some] aborted babies cry when they are born.” You can read about some of the shocking details of China’s one-child policy here. But back to Hitler. Richard Weikiart puts Hitler’s anti-abortion policies in proper historical and ideological perspective: Hitler’s opposition to abortion is sometimes portrayed as evidence of his traditional Christian moral values. However, Hitler never appealed to religion, God, or divine revelation to ground his opposition to abortion. Rather he insisted on vigorous enforcement of extant antiabortion laws because he considered German population expansion vital to the improvement of the Aryan race. Also, Hitler did not oppose abortion per se, but only abortion of healthy, Aryan babies. Abortion was permitted—even encouraged or required—for those who might produce “inferior” offspring or for Jews. The ultimate authority was not God, the Bible, religious tradition, or any fixed moral code containing the command, “thou shalt not kill.” Rather, for Hitler the highest arbiter of morality and political policies was the evolutionary advancement of the human species. In the final analysis, Hitler based his morality on a racist form of evolutionary ethics. Claudia Koonz[3] is right when she argues that the Nazi ethic was a secular replacement and repudiation of traditional Christian ethics.[4] Fonda and her pro-abortion allies have more in common with the tyrants of history than they realize. More than 100 million preborn babies have been aborted since Roe v. Wade, about the same number who had been murdered by the tyrants of the 20th century. Fonda was wrong about abortion, and she’s wrong on policies held by the constitutional conservatives in the GOP. The policies she wants to continue at status quo levels will bankrupt the United States, and there’s not a nation in the world that will bail us out.

Damn.... poor Jane, I hope she has strong shoulders. In a positive light she did help kick start that fitness craze in the late eighties.
