    If your decision to abort is because the fetus will be a redhead, that’s “planned breeding”, not “eugenics”.

    The sine qua non of eugenics is a state mandate.

        The state is not involved in your decision to not have ginger kids. Your decision not to have ginger kids is not eugenics.

        The state providing incentives for behavior is a mandate. The state providing incentives for not having ginger kids is eugenics. Not “subtle eugenics”. Not “planned breeding”. Eugenics.

            The American healthcare system kills people all day long. But, it’s not a public function; it’s not a component of the state. It is a private industry. Yes, it practices voluntary manslaughter for profit, but no, it’s not eugenics.
