New Nixon audio reveals former President's skewed view on abortion
BY JAMES GORDON MEEK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU Tuesday, June 23rd 2009, 6:33 PM New Nixon audio reveals former President's skewed view on abortion WASHINGTON - President Richard Nixon saw abortion as a useful option for ending mixed-race pregnancies, newly released tapes Tuesday show. "There are times when abortions are necessary - I know that," Nixon told aide Charles Colson on Jan. 23, 1973. "That's the thing about a black and a white," Nixon explained in the secretly-recorded conversation, or "a rape. "Same kind of thing, you know what I mean. There are times," Nixon told his aide in a hideaway next door to the White House. Nixon did not elaborate on whether he actually favored ending interracial pregnancies or was simply acknowledging the prevalent social stigma of that era about black and white couples. The 37th President did not foretell in the 150 hours of recordings released by his library, however, that the 44th President might be just such a child born of a white mother and black father. President Obama was 11 when Nixon was caught on tape. Nixon discussed his abortion views while otherwise lamenting the Supreme Court's landmark Roe vs. Wade decision that day, which legalized abortion. To Nixon's mind, underage girls might be encouraged to quit using birth control and "go get knocked up" because of the high court's ruling, he said.

People just don't know how sinister that man was, I can see the same thing in Cheney.....
"We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that."
