Deceptive Obamacare architect also behind “Freakonomics” abortion stats
Gruber published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14 billion in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African-Americans, and lowered crime.
Gruber argued in his paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. He said statistics show these children would have been 70% more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40% more likely to live in poverty, 50% more likely to receive welfare and 35% more likely to die as an infant.
Economist Steven Levitt and journalist Stephen Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book Freakonomics, relied on Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50% reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s.

But… but… I thought making abortion illegal doesn’t stop abortions, and that women have just as many as they do when it’s legal.
Racist genocide has also been the heart-beat of the population control enthusiasts.
Even Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg let it slip.

I have often heard liberals denounce criticism that they are narcissists and see themselves as elite, smarter than the stupid masses, and must have control over your pitiful lives to save you from yourselves. J. Gruber and R. Ginsburg rather re-enforce the criticism.
Hi Eric,
It was unsettling to discover in my research that the Germans and Nazis were inspired by our country’s eugenics movement. This wasn’t some deranged Nazi creation. Forced sterilizations? The Nazis had nothing on us in that department.

What we see with Gruber and Ginsburg is a mentality that has never died.
Hi Mary, true, a good number of “progressives” over the years have been narcissists who think only qualified people should decide who should or should not be born, reproduce, or continue living. Woodrow Wilson signed a law as governor of New Jersey in 1911 entitled “AN ACT to authorize and provide for the sterilization of feeble-minded (including idiots, imbeciles and morons), epileptics, rapists, certain criminals and other defectives” The state supreme court overturned it, but it was quite a law for him to sign.

Hi Eric,
More about that great Progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

And just how many of those “marginal children” are the result of women being set up by the so called sexual revolution and contraceptive culture that sex outside of marriage is without negative consequences?
The manifestly ‘stupid’ Americans are the ones who voted for the boRAT in both 2008 and 2012.
.
But even more stupid were the democRATs in congress who voted for o’bamascares without knowing or caring what it was. Remember democRAT screecher of the house nanzi pelozei lecturing her fellow democRATs, “You have to pass the bill BEFORE you can see what is in it.”
.
Evidently she as well as her fellow democRATs were too stupid to even try to understand it.
This guy is a narcissistic statist. I am surprised Obama hadn’t appointed him to a cabinet position.
There is already a term going around named after this clown. To be ‘Grubered’ is to have a statist lie to you for your own good because they think you are too stupid to make the right decisions yourself.
The spirit of Margaret Sanger, founder of PP, the most deadly organization on the planet, lives on in the Grubers, Obamas, and Ginsbergs of the world. Everyone else’s life is disposable except theirs of course. You know they are so much smarter than everyone else that they are here to dispose of the “human weeds” of the world as Sanger the Eugenicist famously said.
.
To be ‘Gubered’ requires a willful suspension of dis-belief and/or a lying deceitful spirit.
The boRAT is the ‘Guberer’ in chief. ‘Guberer’ is just another synonym for democRAT.
‘Guber’ is ‘gay’.
.
To be ‘Gubered’ is to ‘lean forward’ , grab your ankles and squeal like a pig.
.
The democRATs have gleefully ‘Gubered’ Lady Liberty.
.
The Jew hating jihadists are eagerly waiting to take their turn at defiling America.
Ken,
Please. No need to be so explicit. We get your point.
Don’t forget that this guy has also been paid $400k a pop by many states to prepare reports and whatnot. This whole sham has made this guy a millionaire. He should be tried for fraud, among other things:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/nov/13/editorial-jonathan-grubers-payday/
…but thank goodness the stupid American taxpayer has been kind enough to pay his ridiculous salary so that none of *his* children would be born “marginalized”.
*spits in disgust*
…Furthermore, with this guy singing hymns of praise to abortion like this, how how HOW IN THE WORLD can ANYONE say with a straight face that taxpayer-funded abortion on demand wasn’t completely and purposefully built-in to the Obamacare legislation that this jackhole helped to craft? Oh, well, they *told* us it wasn’t? Well…that changes everything, since this guy hasn’t totally gone off repeatedly about how willing to cover up and lie about whatever it takes to get this P.O.S. passed and accepted by the American public or anything…
UGH. I’M SO FRIGGIN’ MAD ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING.
Preach, X.
Hi X,
You are certainly on fire today!
“Hi X, You are certainly on fire today!”
True, she may not be here very often, but when she is, wow!
In closing, I’ll just leave this here:

Hi X,
Please visit us again soon and often.
Oh gawd. I keep thinking I can put this thing away, but every time I turn around, another reprehensible point of contention about this Gruber-douche springs up.

He gets me mad, but I might just be madder at how the main stream media has covered up for him and his obamabots. They refuse to cover the story. Nancy Pelosi says she never worked with him. Obama “just” found out. Good lord. We cannot let this pass. I am so tired of the excuses. I am so. Very. Tired.

Holy gruber X. This guy got paid $190k by HHS to design deductions and taxes within Obamacare!
Courtnay, it’s a good thing the GOP got control of the Senate. We could have been super-grubered if Harry Reid was still in charge of the Senate.
