Abort Tape

Recently unearthed tapes from the presidency of Richard Nixon showed the President making some surprising and shocking statements on Vietnam and abortion. (The Roe v. Wade decision was handed down by the Supreme Court two days after Nixon's second term began.) Most of the tapes refer to Vietnam. Some of the tapes depict Nixon on the phone with Bob Hope heralding the Vietnam cease-fire - announced a week into his second term - as the) as "peace with honor." In actuality, as he admits in other taped conversations, Nixon readily admits that South Vietnam would eventually fall to the Communists after the Americans were gone - which it did two years later.

On abortion, Nixon admitted to the practice being necessary in cases of rape. But get this. He also said it was necessary in cases of interracial pregnancies.

What?

Nixon made all of these comments thinking they would never be heard.
