Pushing Forced Birth Control in Netherlands

Pushing Forced Birth Control in Netherlands

Progressive cultural ideas are like viruses. A noxious notion starts one place and soon it spreads like a, well, cultural plague.

That is why the proposal from Rotterdam to subject some women to mandatory contraception is so wrong and concerning. From The Independent story:

Rotterdam city council has called for mothers, judged to be incapable to raise children, to be given compulsory contraception by court order.

The Dutch council has launched a voluntary contraception drive for 160 women believed to be at risk due to learning difficulties, psychological issues or addiction, nrc.nl reports.

The alderman responsible for youth welfare, Hugo De Jonge, has called for judges to be given the power to force “incompetent mothers” to use contraception such as getting the coil fitted

Forcing people who have committed no crime to take medication or be subjected a medical procedure–not for their benefit but to serve a perceived social purpose–is tyranny. 

Indeed, I am reminded of the forced mental health “treatment” to which Soviet dissenters were infamously subjected.

The idea is also steeped in eugenics. Only the “fit”–as determined by those in power–should be allowed to have babies.

Technocracy always leads to authoritarian impulses. Always.

Will they try and force the Muslims to do this or is this more Coudenhove-Kalergi white genocide? We’re talking instant Jihad if they do.

Of course not...only working and middle class whites will be subject to this. Islam is useful for the Elites and Satan.

“has called for judges to be given the power to force “incompetent mothers” to use contraception such as getting the coil fitted”

EXACTLY what the nazis did: persons judged “unfit” to have children were to be sterilized.

Congratulations, Holland!

Glad you said it. It looks like these people learned nothing at all from years of Nazi occupation.
Neither did most of Europe, I think. That includes the home country of the Nazis, who also seemed to have not learned a lot.
Oh, well.

Because of in-breeding, something like 50% of UK’s special needs and special education budget is spent on the 3%of the population that is of Pakistani origin

I say if they bring 1 child into the world it’s Gods gift. If she just can’t take care of the child I say offer her some euros to have her tubes tied. They can always be untied if she gets well. There are a lot of ‘normal’ parents out there who produce screwed up children. Just look at the Ron and Nancy.

I would only be for forced contraception if and only if it was a condition for receiving gubermint benefits.

You want to be on welfare, you gotta take the coil/pill/etc....

So it wouldn’t be “forced” per-se but it would be your choice, you want gimmie money, you pay the gimmie price.

I think having the court order sterilization if THEY DEEM the mother incompetent sets a bad precedent, as later it could be used to forcibly sterilize homeschooling mothers because of government endorsed reasons.

Never forced, but as part of conditions for being on “welfare” then yes. These muslims streaming in wanting to live off the dole, fine, but their family line END there, if they want children, move back to middle east and they will remove their ‘coil” before they get onto the plane, if they try to return with their children, send them back as part of the initial condition of living off the dole.

don’t like it, don’t come.

“...mothers, judged to be incapable to raise children...”

.
What yardstick will they use to measure the mother’s capability to raise a child?

Why don’t we start with if a mom puts a bomb on her child or not...that is a good place.
