Every time I see a story about some know-it-all saying people should be limited in the number of children they can have, I have to wonder why these people don't just off themselves, since they think people are the problem.
Now, granted, octuplets' single mom should probably be put under observation, but you never see the Left attack single moms because they are holier than married folks. Or something.
Still this latest know-it-all seems to be thinking along the same lines as Democrats and Our Messiah in Chief.
Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming...
Porritt, a former chairman of the Green party, says the government must improve family planning, even if it means shifting money from curing illness to increasing contraception and abortion.
After all, the pork package making its way through Congress is chockful of spending for "green" projects, and also had funding for contraceptives (those evil pharmaceuticals!) until they were embarrassed into cutting that.
But a spending bill for environmental pork projects and "family planning" do make sense if your attitude is that people are the problem. Perhaps Obama should consider Mr. Porritt for Tom Daschle's spot at HHS. Does he have tax troubles?
UPDATE: Evidently, those supporters of "choice" aren't so supportive when the woman in question is producing several children. There's even a discussion about taking away her "choice," which, of course, points out that the other side isn't about "choice" at all, but about abortion.
