M.Z. Hemingway writing at Get Religion:
His name is John Holdren. He is President Obama’s science czar — director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, assistant to the president for Science and Technology, and co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Here are some of the views he’s publicly espoused:
- 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.
