is it true Richard Mellon Scaife is pro-choice?

I've seen Freepers make this claim before. Would that mean he's just a corporatist Republican who only cares about ruining everyone poorer than him and for some inexplicable reason had a burning obsession with Clinton?

1. I sincerely doubt it.

He's so hard right on everything, I can't even imagine him being remotely pro-choice.

2. Probably...

Some of the secular right are Malthusians and still believe in the OLD Planned Parenthood slogan...

More to the fit, less to the unfit

Social engineering through reproductive controls is popular with the Machine...
A favorite with the Chinese (one child, one home, one state) and Indira Ghandi, during the martial law, had over 70,000 'breeders' castrated...

Won't bother with the well documented Nazi/corportist solutions

Part of the dynamic is that both commies and catholics engaged in an informal 'revenge of the cradle' plan and permited Large Families in order to make Large Followers... for instance as well as many 'minority' efforts to increase their visibility and muscle

The Machine instinctively moves against it with liberalization of reproductive controls and tends to allow procreation pogroms for the the 'greater good'

8. While we are on the subject...

good link...

Here's one closer to home...
<snip>
"Almost 3 000 people were sterilized under Alberta's Sterilization Act. Many more were not released because they would not consent to sterilization. Even in 1972, the year the Act was finally repealed, fifty-five people were sterilized for their "danger of transmission to the progeny of mental deficiency" and for being "incapable of intelligent parenthood".

Selective breeding has always been a fascination among the 'Horse' set--just like race horses and tiny dogs

3. If RMS was pro-choice, it would only be selectively along racial lines.

4. How is "Scaife" pronounced?

I tend to think it rhymes with SAFE, but I have no clue. I've asked on here before and got no answer.

5. I have no earthly clue

but have to say that as a pro life liberal I would find it hilarious if he were. I would assume that would officially put to rest the notion that pro choice always means liberal.

7. He supports Planned Parenthood!

Good for him. Here's an old interview http://www.livejournal.com/community/democrats/288860.html.
