But people today employ the word any time someone makes a decision about their offspring that isn't randomly selected breeding.
Today on xitter i see right-wingers and a few left-wingers harassing a couple that decided to terminate a pregnancy due to the baby having down syndrome as "eugenic".
What caused this bastardisation of the term?

>terminate a pregnancy due to the baby having down syndrome as "eugenic".
it is literally eugenic, but its good. Its not a bastardization of the term. Its simply very limited in scope so its not the kind of horror show that some eugenics movement like the nazis did.

Contrary to what many think, the Nazis barely practiced scientific eugenics. The Nazis decried Darwinism and modern genetics as "Jewish science" and replaced it their retarded woo-woo Aryan esotericism. They based their human breeding programs on irrelevant shit like blonde hair and blue eyes.

I think it was some Paraguay junta that had a program of forced inter-racial marriage to accelerate the process of race mixing to humongous the population. Was that eugenics.

Blond hair blue eyes is not only a reliable proxy for autism score but is also a good indicator of agreeableness(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

I’d add that aborting tards is a feminist issue because 99% of care work for the disabled is placed on women. I support families being able to euthanize retarded family members for this exact reason too.
