Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” famous for hosting a children’s educational TV show, is not as kid-friendly as he initially may appear.
An abortion advocate, Nye recently hosted a new Netflix show that The Federalist describes as bordering on eugenics.
The episode “Earth’s People Problem” is part of the Netflix series “Bill Nye Saves the World.” In the half-hour show, Nye and several panelists discuss how they think large families and population growth are affecting the world, according to the report.
One of those panelists is an abortionist named Nerys Benfield who practices at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. Another is Dr. Rachel Snow of the United Nations Population Fund, which has been linked to coercive abortion practices in China.
Nye begins the show by describing how humans use natural resources. According to the report:
Following an intro that demonstrates how human consumption is like sponges soaking up water, Nye explains how women who have access to educational and professional opportunities tend to have fewer children. This is true …
Nye says when women are in power, they have fewer children, and more resources can be devoted to those children. “It’s not rocket surgery. It’s science!” he coyly explains.
The underlying eugenic and abortion tones come out later in the show. Though the word “abortion” never is mentioned, panelists hint at it while talking about family planning and women’s health care.

At one point, Nye even asks the panel if families should be penalized for having “extra kids.”
The report continues:
The fight against climate change, Nye’s most passionate cause, is brought up by [Dr. Travis Rieder, ethicist at the Berman Institute at Johns Hopkins University], who notes that children in developed countries use 160 times more resources than children in the developing world. This is where the creepy totalitarianism of the environmental movement starts to show itself. Nye asks, bluntly, “Should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the developed world?” …
Rieder says we should “at least consider” a form of punishment for people who have these Extra Kids (TM). Nye impatiently responds that “consider means do it.” Snow, to her credit, jumps in and takes issue with the idea that “we do anything to incentivize fewer children or more children.” Benfield notes the history of compulsory sterilization in America, a practice that was in place as recently as the 1970s. The issue was not come at from a position of justice in the past, she adds. But this time will be different, I guess?
Some countries already do penalize large families, and their population policies are notoriously abusive. China mandates that families have only two children. Until last year, most families in China were allowed one child. Families who have more than one or two children report being coerced or even forced to abort their unborn children, fired from their jobs and penalized with huge fines.
Last October, the BBC interviewed a Chinese family who went into hiding after conceiving a third child.
“The local government carries out pregnancy examinations every three months,” the husband told the BBC. “If we weren’t in hiding, they would have forced us to have an abortion.”
Others have been even less fortunate. A U.S. Congressional report from 2011 detailed one horrifying case where a woman 9-months pregnant with twins was dragged to a local medical center, held down and forced to abort her unborn twins.
These coercive population policies have proven to be abusive, and yet they are being promoted again in popular western media.
I didn’t watch his crap, but the national review article on it said he advocated for penalties for “extra children” then went on to advocate for paid maternal leave - the opposite of a “penalty”. Typical lib BS
In Mr Nye’s defense, he probably only wants to fine those who can afford to take care of their own kids.
Folks who can’t afford it, and are dependent on the government, would be able to have as many kids as they want without penalty. Down the road (after the totalitarian Left gains total power), they would be sterilized, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
extreme skinniness is not necessarily an indicator of ‘gaiety’.

The Fabian science pagans see fertility the same way we see unbridled illeagal immigration. They know their inability to procreate will politically undo them sooner rather than later.
Bill is only concerned with penalizing for "extra" kids in the developed world, i.e. white kids.
The billions of unskilled, illiterate masses in the third world who are about to see the menial tasks they perform become mechanized are of no concern to "scientists" like Nye.
fake scientist fascist libs have been pushing this line since at least 1968:

who is Nye? Satan’s psuedo-scientist spokesperson.
This pole smoker should shut his pie hole.
Why have the Ukranians keep the zone around their reactor free from human habitation?
We really do not know what will happen to folks around the disaster zone in Japan.
Why not serve the wild boars in Japan as a main course.
He is an idiot from Washington state, and by the way never was or is not a real scientist.
In the review section of Netflix his throw has been trashed, with warnings not to let kids watch, as he promoted the multiple gender movement.
I bet Mr. “Scientist” is one of those spirit cookers.
Libtards tell us we need more 'job training programs and welfare' because there are no jobs.... AND they tell us we need to flood the country with illegals because there aren't enough people to do all the jobs.
And that we must 'forgive' college dept because there aren't enough college level entry jobs - AND that we must bring in foreigners to fill high paying entry positions because there aren't enough Americans available...

I suspect they're lying... And that we must 'forgive' college dept because there aren't enough college level entry jobs - AND that we must bring in foreigners to fill high paying entry positions because there aren't enough Americans available...
Mr. Nye, I sincerely wish your parents had one fewer child.
Everyone else should do as their conscience guides them.

And Muslims?
And Orthodox Jews, and Mormons...
Is he homosexual?
Good point, as I am a last-born twin.
Bill Nye, why don’t you help solve the problem by culling yourself?
