“If society’s survival depended on having more children, women could be required to bear children, just as men can constitutionally be required to serve in the armed forces.”

So would he condone raping women who refused to become pregnant the old-fashioned way? Or would they be forced to undergo artificial insemination?

although it makes one wonder if this is precisely the kind of person that he wants advising him. The U.S.’s most leftist president since the founding of the nation is most likely going to surround himself with ideological extremists like this clown.

I hope plenty of folks are emailing, twittering, and otherwise exposing this story, because it is one of the most blatant examples of how Obama is promoting extreme leftist philosophies via his appointments and nominees. This makes Sotomayor look like a member of the VRWC.

I’ve been in the Twilight Zone ever since BO got elected?? This whole excerpt is extremely appalling, and VERY extremist, but yet, the right-wing “extremists” are the dangerous ones??
Does this guy have mentors named Mao or Hitler? What insanity!

Rather, it’s been about a woman’s right to end the life of her unborn child. The fact that the government can require this as well wouldn’t cause the pro-abort folks to even bat an eyelash. If they can also single out the poor and minorities, so much the better.

Soulless baby killing scum–is anyone surprised??

I used to always wonder why the GOP couldn’t get on board w/ environmentalism more. THen I attended a symposium on Peak Oil. It was an eye-opener.

The speaker explained that the Earth had more people than it had crude to drive them around. THerefore “choices” had to be made.

Essentially, this guy was saying we could either abort and contracept now, or not eat so good and fight wars later. He saw North Korea as a model of what would later happen in the world at large. Therefore, he viewed frequent and (I wish I was making this up) strategic abortions as a good component to enlightened public policy.

PS. I guess tactical abortions occur when the guy makes her pregnant and can’t find the scratch for an apartment and a ring…

The story in the NYT recently was a prompt telling people this line of thinking was OK. Didn’t you hear?

…and to have the state compel you to conceive or to abort. But at least the masters of your body will be good leftists, so that make it all fine.

Once again proving that totalitarianism always ends up controlling sexual behavior.

Only this time, its midwife will be ecoreligion. We’re already seeing here a convergence between population control and global warming climate change zealots who want to invoke the state to coerce their program. Soon enough these zealots will become fertilizer, and their last cry will be “we we calling for others to change their behavior”.

According to an article in Forbes, in the 1970′s Holdren and Paul Ehrlich (The Population Bomb) engaged in a dispute with environmentalist Barry Commoner regarding whether or not technology or population was more detrimental to the environment. Tellingly, Holdren and Ehrlich engaged in behavior similar to fellow traveler Al Gore (another Malthusian), whereby they attempted to stonewall debate on the issue and ban Commoner’s view, since it was detrimental to their own (shades of global warming debate).

Holdren early on exhibited an unlovely tendency to try to enforce ideological conformity on his fellow scientists and activists. Back in 1972, he and Ehrlich disagreed with environmentalist Barry Commoner on whether population or technology was worse for environment. This dispute exploded into the public when Commoner disclosed a letter Ehrlich and Holdren had sent to numerous scientific colleagues revealing that the two had pressed Commoner not to debate in public which of the factors was most important because that would undermine the realization of environmental goals.

Commoner was outraged that the two wanted to shut down debate and enforce an environmentally correct united front.

a communist one at that. No wonder he qualified for the Energy Czar position.

But I guess this was different.
