Is the U.S. Under God's Judgment Because of Years of Unrepented Abortion?

Despite that, comments about the decisions usually focus on privacy and women’s rights, not on eugenics. So we should look carefully at the ways in which eugenics shows up in the decisions.
"The appearance of eugenics in the abortion decisions that is easiest to see is the reference in a footnote to Buck v. Bell, the 1927 case that opened the floodgates for sterilizing people who were considered to be unfit. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court said that the Constitution protects a “right to privacy” and that the decision to have an abortion is an exercise of this right. But, the Court stated, the right to privacy is not absolute; it can be limited in some cases, such as vaccination and sterilization. So the abortion decision was not about women’s rights; it cited a case permitting forced sterilization."
"The abortion decisions were written by Justice Harry Blackmun. His approach to abortion follows the lead of Glanville Williams. Glanville Williams, who taught law at Cambridge University, was a member of the Eugenics Society. In 1954, the Eugenics Society voted to support the Abortion Law Reform Association (ALRA), which set out to remove legal restrictions against abortion. Williams became president of the ALRA from 1962, and was successful within a few years; the British law was changed in 1967."

best seen by comparing Roe v. Wade and a book by Professor Glanville
Williams, The Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law. The book is cited
repeatedly in the 1973 abortion decision, but the numerous citations
do not reveal the full extent of the influence. Justice Blackmun
lifted his whole argument from Williams, including the history of
abortion, ancient attitudes, the influence of Christianity, common
law, Augustine's and Aquinas' teaching, canon law and English
statutory law. And Williams was a member of the Eugenics Society. Roe v. Wade was based on eugenics,"
