“There exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated,” wrote Obama appointee John Holdren. “It has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”

Whoa.
From World Net Daily: The man President Obama has chosen to be his science czar once advocated a shocking approach to the “population crisis” feared by scientists at the time: namely, compulsory abortions in the U.S. and a “Planetary Regime” with the power to enforce human reproduction restrictions.
It’s hard being speechless in the prolife activist chair, but WHOA. That’s insane. I don’t care if he said that over 32 years ago or 32 minutes ago.
This ‘population crisis’ called for forced adoption of children born to teenage mothers, forced sterilization and other government-mandated population control measures which is not so far off from actually happening. As we have all realized in the last seven months, ANYTHING can happen. It there’s a loop hole, Obama will drive a semi right through it.
Whether or not Holdren is an alarmist isn’t the issue. The issue is that this guy is in a priority position with the president and he will have opinions that can put us, the public at large, in jeopardy if Obama and other liberals listen to him – kind of like Al Gore and his sky-is falling global warming debacle.
Forced abortions, euthanasia, assisted suicide, limited number of children to a couple, forced to adopt, undesirables sterilized…all paid for by the government? China is doing most of this right now. How far off can the United States be?
We are on our way to a Soylent Green society…Futurama in light speed.
