As growing concerns about the dangers of large debt, loss of freedom and government child killing (abortion) proposed with Barack
Obama's socialized "healthcare plan", the depth of Obama's inhumane radicalism is becoming more evident. John
Holdren, Obama's recent selection for "Science Czar," provides the latest and very troubling example of
extremism. In the name of population control, Holdren has advocated both forced abortion and compulsory sterilization through
government-administered tainting of the water supply.
In a 1977 book
he co-authored, called "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," Holdren called for a "Planetary Regime"
to enforce mandatory abortions for population control and limit the use of natural resources. Holdren wrote: "There exists
ample authority under which population growth could be regulated. It has been concluded that compulsory population-control
laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population
crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."
Holdren writes
that "a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution
of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable. The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the
optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits."
He states that "sterilizing women after their second or third child" may be more practicable than sterilizing men
and proposes a "long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin" at puberty and then "might
be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."
He
queried: "Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?" He wrote "that
compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing
Constitution."
Mathew D. Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of
Liberty University School of Law, commented: "The new 'science czar's' scheme for a 'Planetary Regime' that would force
pregnancy and coerce abortion under some bureaucratic population control master plan is beyond extreme. Where in the world
does [Barack] Obama find these people? No wonder Hillary Clinton refused to condemn China's inhumane one-child policy. The
people with whom [Obama] has surrounded himself are the most extreme abortion advocates on the planet. We cannot continue
on this path of human destruction. God is just, and His justice will not sleep forever."
