Catholic new agency ZENIT reported that the president of the Institute for the Works of Religion say that the current global economic crisis is not due in part to small families and a pessimistic outlook. While the article does not mention abortion, the overall decline in birthrate, he said, was the true cause of the crisis.
Hmm...well, there is that whole survival of the fittest thing.
In case you haven’t noticed, liberal societies and governments have become increasingly enamored of the idea of population control. It’s nothing new. This is when you should dust off your old copy of The Population Bomb so you can get up -to-speed on the latest trends and arguments on the pro-abortion, pro-population control side. And that’s the whole point, that there’s nothing new at all to the idea of the need to control. Look at this broad list of population control methods Wikipedia lists:
- contraception
- abstinence
- abortion
- emigration
- Decreasing immigration
- starvation, famine
- pestilence, plague
- war
It’s all about control, and it’s all about pessimism.
Consider American opinion of China as an emerging superpower. China has an enormous population, and recent cracks in its communist ideology have allowed them to take advantage of it and their economy has grown at incredible rates. But beneath that façade are several fatal flaws: forced abortion reinforced by international support, the killing of millions of unborn baby girls, unsustainable ratio of men to women, and an aging population likely to implode. China is truly the worst of communism and of capitalism rolled into one.
But there you have it: the pessimistic, pro-death control freaks can control something to death and they plan to.
