This was fabulous. I am bookmarking this one. I love how he doesn't mince his words. Fantastic.

Because the state needs a birth rate of 2.1 children to maintain a stable population. In Italy, it's now 1.2. That is tragic for old Italy. Somewhere in hell, Margaret Sanger must be screaming, "No you idiots! It's the non-white races that are supposed to dwindle away!"

Next time you're in a rundown diner and the 17-year-old waitress is eight months pregnant, don't tut "What a tragedy" and point her to the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic. Leave her a large tip instead. I will leave a tip as large, or as small, or even as nonexistant, as the service warrants. The notion that I ought to subidize personal irresponsibility makes me wonder who this leftist is, and what he has done with Mark Steyn.

Pearson assures us there's plenty of other folks to take up the slack: In Europe, that'd be the islamists. ;)

Consider decaf.

Tipping is voluntary, taxes are involuntary.
If you don't want to tip a young woman trying to make it in the world yet unwilling to kill her baby to make it easier on herself, that's your decision. Helping other people out isn't "leftist."
Personally, I thought it was a great ending to a great article.

Excellent, excellent Steyn.....
Doesn't look so good for the future of Europe. Perhaps Chirac and Schroeder are just the vanguard.

The notion that I ought to subidize personal irresponsibility Lighten up. I doubt he's proposing you leave her a large tip if she poured coffee down your shorts. But if she did alright , then give her a break. Maybe she'll give the kid up for adoption, or better yet, the kid'll grow up to change the sheets in your old-age nursing home, so you can get some rest.

That was a great comeback, but it shoulda been addressed to "steve-b".
B-Chan just quoted steve's post... and told him that he should consider switching to Decaf.

It was a poignant sentence to illuminate the article's whole point.
But it seem that the whole point is what you missed if this post is your whole point.
And what is more irresponsible; aborting your race into oblivion or refusing to kill your unplanned baby?
Sheesh!
To: steve-b
Not much compassion in that there conservatism...

Abortion is complete evil. Destroying a human life before it breathes air. Pure evil.
I confronted my mother over the abortion issue once because I wanted to hear her stance. She is a 'public' school teacher and a Democrat and she said that a woman should have the right to choose because the woman may not be prepared or have planned to have a baby.
I then challenged her that she had told me before that I was an unexpected pregnancy. My father and she had planned on waiting another year. I told her that today, I am darn glad that she didn't excise her "right to choose" and rob me of my right to life. I completely shudder when I consider the thought that I may have been vacuumed out of the womb.
