Bernie Sanders Says U.S. Taxpayers Should Fund Abortions In ‘Poor Countries’ To Fight Global Warming

Sen. Bernie Sanders says American taxpayers should fund programs in “poor countries” to help women get abortions.

During a CNN town hall event in which Sanders and other Democrats r discussed plans to combat climate change, an audience member asked: “Human population growth has more than doubled in the past 50 years. The planet cannot sustain this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians, but it’s crucial to face. Empowering women and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?”

“The answer is yes,” Sanders said. “And the answer has everything to do with the fact that women — in the United States of America, by the way — have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions

“And this idiot doesn’t understand why there is a second amendment to the Constitution. “

I must disagree with you on that. Bernie and all the unhinged lunatic rats do understand the 2nd amendment, and that’s exactly why they either want to totally remove it or redefine it so it applies only to their agenda. Once that’s done, they can legally disarm everyone they do not like.

...kill everyone off so the climate will be saved

That's the plan and old Bernie is telling what is being said hush hush behind closed doors.

We should not be funding abortion anywhere.

Agreed! I’m guessing that Bernie never asked those countries he is referring to how they feel about abortion.

If only Adolf would have migrated here after WWI and became a democrat.

His visions would have somewhat come to pass without that WWII thing.

In addition to the profound racism and imperialism animating the idea that the US should fund the death of babies around the world, it’s also true that Sander’s premise is absolutely false. Over the last 50 years the world fertility rate has plunged and it continues to plunge now:

Over the last 50 years the global fertility rate has halved. And over the course of the modernization of societies the number of children per woman decreases very substantially. In the pre-modern era fertility rates of 4.5 to 7 children per woman were common. At that time the very high mortality at a young age kept population growth low. As health improves and the mortality in the population decreases we typically saw accelerated population growth. This rapid population growth then comes to an end as the fertility rate declines and approaches 2 children per woman.

https://ourworldindata.org/fertility-rate
Over the next fifty years, the planet’s human population will peak at around 11 billion and then plunge, because fertility rates all over the world are plunging. It’s only above 2 now worldwide because of the third world. In China, thank God, it’s far below replacement. He’s completely misinformed as well as every other epithet used on this thread.

I think I can support that...as long as the children aborted are all “of color”,”gay” or “transgendered”.

I hope my comment in Post #26 didn’t require a sarcasm tag.

Global warming -- The all purpose pretext for what they already wanted anyway.

Before it was "reproductive freedom" for poor women in those countries. Now it's global warming.

If they ever back off on the global warming shtick because some else replaces it, they will still push the idea that US taxpayers must fund abortions for the whole world.

Let’s imagine for a moment that a white republican suggested we sterilize (population control) people and fund abortions in third world countries.

Wouldn’t it be called genocide?

The DNC today is getting as ideologically parallel as the Nazis:Kill and eliminate everything that gets in the way of the cause. It’s all about the fallacy and myth of purity and utopia.

I've been predicting this for weeks... I didn't think it would happen so quickly, though. I figured it was another election cycle away, LOL...

But I've been saying that the only logical next step for the Left's insanity is:

Health Care is a Human Right...
and therefore those crossing illegally are entitled to it....
and it isn't "fair" the some are unable to get to our borders...
so therefore we should start sending doctors out to every nation...
and/or having local doctors care for the sick...
but the American middle class taxpayer MUST be the ones paying for it all!!!

So, building on another post of mine earlier today...

Democrats want to Nationalize Education
Democrats want to Nationalize several kinds of Debt
Democrats want to Nationalize anything that "affects the Climate"
Democrats want to Nationalize Health Care
Democrats want to Nationalize Abortion laws
Democrats want to Nationalize College Loans
but they damn sure want to Internationalize our Borders.

And now they want to Nationalize international medical bills.

(Again, never forget to point out the very very obvious goals of the Democrats... and the ONLY two goals... aggregate as much power as humanly possible in DC... and make as many multi-trillion-dollar-piles of money on every one of their massive new schemes so that they can skim their usual 10-80% off of the top.)

“We’re supposed to work, send our earnings to Bernie Sanders and let him fritter it away to anyone he likes and by any means he chooses.”

Only if Crazy Bernie wins, which is not likely.

I assume you have no problem with paying taxes to the government under President Trump.
