I was totally unprepared for the "predetermination of sex" to be thrown in ever so casually in the final paragraphs of their Recommendation. I'd kept my cool throughout the transcribing of the "optimum population" bit as well as the abortion and persistent attempts to draw some distinction between Family Planning and population control but I'll admit that caught me by surprise and made me cry. I'm such a freakin' wuss about this stuff. I should know better.
Still, I wish they'd made the relationship between the State's moral control of population and the predetermination of sex more clear.
Maybe China's got a task force finding that'll spell it out for me.
This is aparently lost on government as well since they steadfastly refuse to close our borders.
This whole thing pisses me off actually.. I am tired of the self appointed ruling class of the universe speaking about us like an angry parent or something.
"What! What are you doing in there? Do you have a girl in there? Are you two breeding? Stop it this instant and come unlock the door!"
Constantly concerned that someone, somewhere JUST MIGHT be breeding and that they JUST MIGHT want to keep and raise their child as opposed to killing it or preventing conception in the first place.
I am convinced, the elder Bush is a globalist nutcase who get's off on other peoples breeding habbits.
But let's take a look at what GHWB did when in office, when he actually had the power to act on his beliefs.
During all four years of his Presidency, he tried to kill Title X, which he had worked to pass as a congressman. Why the change? Because Roe v. Wade changed it from essentially a birth control program to an abortion program. Congress would not rescind it. As a matter of fact, Congress tried to overturn the Reagan administration's "gag rule" which prohibited all clinics receiving Title X funding from giving abortion advice or counseling, even if a patient requested it. In 1991, Bush vetoed a bill that would have overturned the gag rule.
Bush vetoed the entire 1989 foreign aid bill of $14 billion because it included $15 million for the UNFPA. He also vetoed the annual foreign bill again in 1990 because of its UNFPA funding and pledged to keep U.S. funds out of the agency in the future.
The United States adopted a policy, announced at the World Conference on Population in Mexico City in 1984, that withdrew funding from International Planned Parenthood. The new policy denied U.S. population assistance to any private program in another country, or to any international program, which provided counseling, referral, or even basic information about abortion. Bush continued to enforce this international gag rule policy.
He hamstrung the State Department in its efforts to advance the abortion issue. The staff of the State Departments population affairs coordinator was cut back from three to one full-time staff person in 1991, leaving it with extremely limited resources to prepare for that years U.N. Conference on Environment and Development.
Bush the elder is someone you have generally been quite critical of. However, there is a reason that groups like Planned Parenthood considered him an enemy.
The NSSM-200 link is not to be missed either.
Naturally, it was the GOP who decided "abortion was vital to the solution" of pop-control at home and abroad and incorporated legal abortion in our national defense memoranda.
BUMP
