Half the nations of the world currently have fertility rates below replacement level and global population is expected to peak in 2050 and then start to decline…so, what does the Obama Administration propose to do? Pretend its still 1970 and go after the “population explosion”:
The new U.S. ambassador for global women’s issues pledged Thursday the Obama administration’s “deep commitment” to a U.N. blueprint aimed at slowing the world’s population explosion and empowering women.
What is really going on here? The advancement of a radical feminist, anti-religious and pro-abortion platform. There is no need to work out ways to reduce population growth – that is already happening and actually is becoming an impending catastrophe (as the Russians die out, for instance, who gets to take over Russia? Its 1/6th of the world and has vast natural resources…war will likely settle the issue). But there is a need, on the left, to essentially make traditional religious belief illegal and force women into the corporate/Statist lifestyle approved by liberals – and so under the rubric of stopping the “population explosion”, the left will insert all manner of anti-family, anti-religious and anti-freedom laws and regulations.
Our problem here, in the pro-life community, is that the so-called “population explosion” has been hammered in to the national consciousness for decades now. Most of the time, when you tell someone that China is less densely populated than Japan and that the Russians are dying out, they are quite surprised – to hear the population control people tell it, the Chinese are living right on top of each other and we’re down to the last half-acre of wilderness unless we act NOW to save the planet! Injecting a note of reality will prove difficult.
