Obama science czar Holdren called for forced abortions
WorldNetDaily ^ | July 11, 2009 | Drew Zahn

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.

"There exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated," wrote Obama appointee John Holdren, as reported by FrontPage Magazine. "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."

Holdren's comments, made in 1977, mirror the astonishing admission this week of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who said she was under the impression that legalizing abortion with the 1973 Roe. v. Wade case would eliminate undesirable members of the populace, or as she put it "populations that we don't want to have too many of."

Don’t forget the mass sterilization, either. Men have ‘skin’ in the game, too.

Seems to me that it would make more sense to restrict illegal immigration into the country. Apparently its only our low white birthrate that’s too high.

“Science Tsar”?? Another one? What are we up to, 30 of them? And all reporting to the executive branch with no elected accountability, no vetting or confirmation process, no public information about their salaries or responsbilities. This tsar thing is totally out of control and smells like serious scandal to me.

And why does he need a science tsar at all? He’s got the scientific heads at CDC, NIOSH, NIST, NSF, DTIC, USFS, DOE, EPA, DOT, NASA and many more. These should suffice.

This fanatic think a FORCED ABORTION is Constitutional?

Which of the enumerated powers that the Constitution describes for our government covers the power to strap a woman down, force her legs open, and scrape out her uterus?

Must be warm, dark and moist where he does his thinking.

These idiots do not understand that the human race is apart of nature. They believe that humans are like a disease from which the “planet must be saved.” They are morons.

It’s like living in a nightmare. This guy was for forced abortions. The climate Czar is a socialist. Dr. Chu is a nutcase who wants us to paint our roofs white. His Sec. of State can’t tell a military coup from a constitutional effort to prevent a fascist takeover. His head of DHS calls pro-life people terrorists. Cass Sunstein thinks animals should be able to sue in courts.

It’s like government by Harvard Black and Feminist studies.

As far as liberals are concerned (especially guilty white liberals ones), anything above zero is too high. In fact, organizations like the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (I kid you not, see www.vhemt.org) are set up just for that purpose. We are the undesirables. They want just enough of us around to pay taxes, but not enough around to be able to resist.

And none of BO’s 34 “czars” have to be vetted or approved by the Senate. They all get fat taxpayer-funded paychecks and can work to destroy this nation from within. How could we allow this to happen to our children and grandchildren???

Self identified American Catholics went over 50% Obama in 2008. I would have thought buyer's remorse, if nothing else, would have generated a majority swing the other way by now.

Holdern is a gloablist, a militant globalist. His perspective on climate change and CO2 are nearly word for word the guiding strategy wrapped in the cap and tax scam passed by the House recently. He is absolutely convinced that populatyion control must be used to win the war on specious MMGW (man-made global warming). You can read his words in a 1/17/08 speech to the scientific community and again in a January speech of this year to the AAAS.

And the ‘deserving firing squads’ enemedia are covering up every one of these Marxist pricks by refusing to report any of the leftists crap they espouse so openly, so the average sheep-on-the-street (that’s kind of like ‘soap on a rope’) don’t have a clue what is goin’ down.
