Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris received a round of applause when she said "when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
One Democrat who hasn't been shy about population limits is Bernie Sanders, the Vermont bedlamite.
During a 2019 town hall meeting, Sanders said "Yes" when asked if he asked about "The need to curb population growth" in order to "Address climate catastrophe." He spoke for many that day.
Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich was not the first to advocate cutting the planet's population, but he did blow up the world in 1968 with "The Population Bomb," in which he shared his conviction that unless humanity was culled, the near future was one of "Mass starvation" on "a dying planet." To get to the beginning we'd have to go back at least as far as the late 18th century, when Englishman Thomas Robert Malthus wanted to "Court the return of the plague" and forbid "Specific remedies for ravaging diseases" to stop what he thought was the pestilence of overpopulation.
Neither did the Population Connection Action Fund exist at that time.
Obama science czar John Holdren is certainly the latter, having co-authored with Paul and Anne Ehrlich "Ecoscience," the 1977 book that, says the Baptist Press, "Discussed such compulsory measures to limit population as abortion, sterilization after a second or third child, a sterilizing capsule implanted at the onset of puberty and a sterilant given to the population in drinking water or food."
Then there's Scott Wallace, a failed Democratic congressional candidate and co-chairman of the Wallace Global Fund, which has bankrolled the aforementioned Population Connection Action Fund, the lovely outfit that wants to punish those guilty of "Irresponsible breeding."
