As Hilzoy points out Nixon's views towards abortion post Roe v Wade are horridly racist:
Nixon worried that greater access to abortions would foster "permissiveness," and said that "it breaks the family." But he also saw a need for abortion in some cases, such as interracial pregnancies.
"There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white," he told an aide, before adding: "Or a rape.""
One can only wonder at how horrified he would be to know that a biracial man was now President. It's almost enough to make me wish he were still around.
Back tomorrow with more.
