• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.
Johns lifelong partners, Paul and Anne Ehrlich, are leading authorities in the Vaccine Industry...
This sounds like something coming from the Twilight Zone.
His plan is inconsistent with the need of the Democrat party to have parasitic citizens who vote Democrat.
Ergo, it is a non-starter, regardless of religious, ethical, practical, or legal concerns.
Politics trumps all for Democrats.
I am reminded of the Twilight Zone Episode, The Obsolete Man
Early 20th Century American Progressives wanted this and GOT it with Buck v. Bell in Indiana.
The Nazi's used it as a defense during Nuremburg.
“People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility”
No more liberals reproducing, I guess.
Still following in Hitler’s foot steps
Rouger than Khmer Rouge...??
The great irony is that people like the Ehrlichs and Holdren and Hansen only care about themselves.
Their philosophy is actually simple: they will doomsay until power and money is taken from others and given to them. That is, they want to be noble lords, ruling over grubby peasants, which they regard as everyone else. Both these things have to happen, their wealth and others’ grinding poverty, because they cannot enjoy their power and wealth if other people have it as well.
Once they have ultimate power and great wealth, then *miraculously*, all problems will be solved, with them not needing to do *anything*.
The communist leaders in the Soviet Union and eastern Europe had that same frame of mind. Once *they* had power and wealth, the only thing the rest of the people needed was to be kept down. Prevented from having better lives.
So some party boss would live in an expensive dacha (estate), eat fine foods and be waited on by servants, while the common people had to wait in line in the cold for a loaf of stale bread every now and then.
And after all their talk, the environment in the east was horrible. Pollution everywhere, filth, collapsing infrastructure, disease, you name it. But as far as the leaders were concerned, everything is fine “because we have power and wealth, and everyone else does not.”
If there is any justice in the world, the Ehrlichs, and Holdren, and James E. Hansen, would be whisked away in the dark of the night, and parachuted into North Korea with a backpack full of Bibles.

From 1776 to 1984 in eight years.
This article is six years old. I mean no offense, and genuinely wish to know when I ask why post it now?
(If the point is show that Obama prefers the advice neofascist cranks...well, no surprise there.)
He should be in a locked psych ward somewhere under sedation.
