f nothing else, the continuing fight over ObamaCare's infamous contraception mandate has revealed two profound cultural divides in America. The first is about the role of government. The other is about fertility.
It increasingly seems as if the progressive secular worldview is almost hostile to fertility. The logic behind the contraception mandate all but implies that the only way to lead a truly free and human life is to lead a contracepted life. As the Cato Institute's Julian Sanchez has argued, the mandate seems designed not so much to improve access to contraception a nonproblem but rather to enshrine in American law that conscientious objection to contraception is so contemptible that it may be quashed regardless of consequences. The uncritical way in which contraception is described as "health care" seems to imply that pregnancy is a disease, to be avoided at all costs.
When Sarah Palin made her thunderous appearance on the national stage in 2008, the instinctive progressive revulsion toward her a revulsion that was apparent, remember, way before she made any of the long series of humiliating gaffes that have now deservedly turned her into a punch line seemed to revolve around her fertility. It was not hard to read between the lines of some progressive critiques of her character.
It seemed as if many thought it self-evident that only a deranged person would let children such as Trig (Down syndrome) and Tripp (conceived out of wedlock) live. Mollie Hemingway has rightly talked about the secular media's fear of fertility. And it usually doesn't take long for a discussion with a progressive about global economic trends to lapse into dire Malthusian warnings about "overpopulation."

Ah, those breeder conservative Christians!
(as seen by progressives)
And rapidly Moslems are replacing Europeans.
Just look at the fertility rates of the various Euro-peon countries. As the world has grown richer the global fertility rate has dropped, too.

I believe the flaw in this thesis is that while white well-off progressives themselves aren’t reproducing, they are importing lots of non-white poor folks who are doing a fine job of increasing the number of Democrat voters.
Robin Williams: Children are ‘The Thing That Makes Life Worth Living’

Many Hispanics are “white” or at least, no less “white” than southern European and Middle Eastern immigrants of the late 19th/early 20th Centuries.
Over time (2 or 3 generations), IF given proper English immersion and exposed to sufficient doses of ‘Americana’ for cultural assimilation, they, for the most part, will become indistinguishable from an average middle American family —whether the surname is Sanchez or Smith.
UNFORTUNATELY...our cultural institutions, ruled by D-rats, are loath to do so. The dual-language learning and labeling of “Hispanics” apart from “white” Americans (comprised of numerous Caucasian ethnicities) is all part of the plan.
So when headlines read ‘Whites no longer the majority in public schools’, know that this is bogus and is yet another attempt to force the multi-culturalist, anti-E pluribus Unum, leftist-progressive dogma on us...that we are doomed.
Not to mention the abortion industry which snuffs the lives of babies who would grow into democrat voters at a much, much higher rate than future conservatives.
Let’s be careful of our sources for making unsubstantiated claims. This one is highly questionable:
Shock: 80% of U.S. population growth is from immigrants, resources being sucked dry

Negative Population Growth, Inc cited in the link above is a Soros operation, run by commies and eco-fascists, whose sole purpose is to manufacture propaganda and lies.
It doesn't matter if somebody has "social-conservative DNA", if "welfare dependency/affirmative action" tendencies are stronger. As we have seen with the 95%-dem-voting black community, economics trumps social values.
The Hispanic immigrants we are getting, are of below-average IQ, above-average criminality, and will vote Dem.
Thanks for that info.
Even if it is untrue, it can be a motivator in getting Whitey to reproduce at higher rates.
Yes. And by importing voters, who they deliberately strive to keep ignorant as a mechanism to keep them voting “correctly” they both install themselves as the elite at the top of the foodchain (Vanguard?) while mitgating the risk of the “Alex P.Keaton” problem.
A couple of points:
1. The left REALLY believes in this overpopulation crap. It’s what underlies their entire worldview. That’s why abortion and homosexuality are non-negotiables for them. Abortion snuffs a life, of course, but homosexuality can’t reproduce and it abbreviates the life they have left. They’re a twofer!
2. The author fails to recognize that the media and academia both serve up the leftist swill, causing many children to reject the faith of their fathers. Hedonism and irresponsibility appeal to kids who aren’t truly saved before they leave home.
Liberals control academia. They don’t have to have children....they can grab your children. They start the indoctrination at an early age. That’s how they create more liberals.
Well I do know the typical millennial knows more about “climate change” than the US Constitution....
No reason to have to support the little buggers when you can take over the education system and turn out “progressives” despite the parents’ beliefs.
“Thats why theyre importing 20 million more voters.”
BINGO!!!!!!!!
Liberal elites don't want children.
Children require 'giving' and sacrifice. What liberal elites want are servants who vote democrat - desperate frightened second class citizens who keep them in power.
Liberal elite's alternative to having children is "amnesty" - illegals - and the horror of young children riding on tops of death trains...
