CANADA, January 15, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – “Procreation is becoming a global public health concern, rather than a personal decision,” a feminist wrote for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in an article trashing "Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines for having a fifth child.
“It's not an exaggeration to say that the survival of our species depends” on population control, Kristen Pyszczyk wrote. Even though population control “carries with it associations with eugenics and other nasty historical events...we still need to talk about it.”
The Gaines couple of HGTV fame announced the existence of their fifth child by posting a photo on Instagram. In it, Chip and Joanna compare their bellies.
“Gaines party of 7.. (If you’re still confused.. WE ARE PREGNANT),” Chip wrote.
His wife shared a video of their baby’s heartbeat on Twitter.
Not everyone is happy the Gaines children each have a fourth sibling, though.
Quoting Stephen Hawking and speculating that humans might need to colonize another planet within 100 years to survive, Pyszczyk urged, “let's lighten the load, friends.”
The idea that procreation is fulfilling needs to be challenged, Pyszczyk wrote, and “women need to be presented with options for a fulfilling life that don't involve taking 20 years of their lives to care for offspring.”
It’s “great” that people are beginning to react in a hostile way to large families, she wrote, but “we need to go much farther.”
Citing carbon footprints, Pyszczyk argued those in the “global West” must be given “alternatives” to the natural family.
“This inevitably involves calling out people who have kids like they're going out of style,” Pyszczyk wrote. “Shame is a powerful tool for changing behaviour: it's how we introduce new and existing social conventions. It's unfortunate that Chip and Joanna bore the brunt of changing attitudes, but let's learn from the reaction and examine our own actions.”
“Procreation is becoming a global public health concern, rather than a personal decision,” she insisted. “So when people do irresponsible things like having five children, we absolutely need to be calling them out.”
Pyszczyk admitted that Canada’s birth rates are plummeting, but suggested that Trump restricting funding for international abortion organizations may increase immigration to Canada.
Pyszczyk also claimed that “as a feminist, I tend to oppose any cultural conversation that involves telling a woman what to do with her body.”
Nevertheless, “changing the narrative around motherhood should help to offset some of the cultural conditioning we receive throughout our lives” and “it's not OK to have five kids without once considering adoption.”
“There are so many children in North America and beyond in need of loving homes, yet adoption rates in many areas are lagging,” she complained.
There are 114,556 children waiting to be adopted in the U.S., according to the Adoption Network Law Center. More than half a million babies are aborted annually in the U.S. Some states do not require facilities to report how many abortions they commit, so an exact number is unavailable.
There have been 60 million abortions since Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court case legalizing abortion on demand.
In November 2017, NBC printed an article in which a bioethicist argued having many children is immoral like releasing murderers from prison.
Not expecting — the baby is already there!!!!
I really like them and I think they are fabulous parents. When they do have their children on the show whichs is a lot they are well behaved, very courteous and hard workers.
The lady in the article can pound sand.
I thought a Burkina Faso was a sports car.
I thought it was a moslem cover-up for really fat women.
This from a snowflake who has never done anything in her life and values neither family or anything else
The Gaines children are not a burden on society
The baby’s daddy is an unfunny obnoxious douche that makes the show unwatchable for me.
Is your wife legal?
I thought some of this believe that women are supposed to have control over their body?
Hell yes, why did you even ask that question? She is from Mexico, educated in the United States with several university degrees. She taught Spanish at the University of Houston before studying to become a software engineer. She grabbed the American Dream the legal way and ran with it.
Her father was a businessman in Juarez and paid for her education in Texas. He paid out of country tuition which is actually higher than out of state tuition.
Relative to any further questions about my wife you can kiss my butt! Insult intended! I can also insult you in Spanish if you so desire.
ps
I am a hard right constitutionalist and not an open borders person!
“Shame is a powerful tool for changing behaviour"
Let us take her words to heart, and find out how best we can shame CBC for hiring this racist eugenicist, using this powerful tool of shame to change their behavior by firing her.
Perhaps via shaming pressure on their advertisers?
I remember being pretty shocked about 15 years ago by the reactions of liberal commenters at a liberal site, I think Alternet, to an article about the Quiverfull movement. They were just beside themselves with rage. I think quite a few commented on how it could affect the number of voters for each party if it gained more steam. That’s really the only thing liberals think about.
Maybe talk to india and china and africa and the middle east first?
No she can choose. But only if it agrees with what liberals want.
This so infuriates me. This idiocy around overpopulation started in the 1960s with a book by some know nothing who has the credibility of Rachel Carson—Paul Ehrlich. He was completely wrong.
The fertility rate in the US is actually falling. The only two groups experiencing rapid growth in the US are Muslims and Latinos.
As for the Gainses—they can easily afford another child and will never burden us taxpayers with the cost of raising their kids. At that poin, it stops being anyone else’s business.
Chip and Joanna Gaines are lightning rods for the left. They are a wholesome, happy, playful, married couple of strong faith who obviously enjoy each other and their children. Those qualities have made them wildly popular.
This drives liberals mad.
And because liberals are emotional toddlers, they deal with their rage as toddlers would. Hence the poo throwing and tantruming.
I wonder how many children the author w/a name full of all consonants has adopted.
Joanna is half Korean on her mother’s side. Her mom has been on the show and her heritage discussed.
Her mom is Korean. Her dad is German/Lebanese.
Let me fix that her dad is American of German/Lebanese descent
