Stop the ACLU points out this nonsense from Think Progress:
Access To Birth Control Is A Fundamental Component Of Climate Survival
Any morally acceptable pathway to prevent catastrophic global warming includes broad access to affordable birth control for the world’s women. The conservative war on birth control is a war on women’s rights, and thus on the rights of us all. Manmade global warming is one of the most troubling symptoms of economic and social injustice around the planet, and the ”countries in the developing world least responsible for the growing emissions are likely to experience the heaviest impact of climate change, with women bearing the greatest toll.” Researchers have found that empowering women to reduce unplanned pregnancies is one of the most cost-effective ways to combat greenhouse pollution, as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson discussed at the Durban climate conference last December:
In addressing climate resilience, Robinson stressed the importance of focusing on health and burden impacts of climate change. One of the keys is access to reproductive health for women.
And if people in poor countries who are making all the babies won’t use birth control voluntarily, then what?

"Any morally acceptable pathway to prevent catastrophic global warming ..." of which there is no scientific support. How long does the earth have to cool before they stop telling us it's warming?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhy go through all that palaver anyway? Just kill all the male children under 2 years old. There's at least legal precedent for that.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseBoth radical pro-abortionists and radical AGW-believers (largely, the same group of people) are fundamentally anti-human. They view human beings (other than themselves and their fellow elites, of course) as a disease of the planet, to be cured either by prevention or removal.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbusePrecisely.
Furthermore, most are middle class white folks suffering from "liberal guilt."
There is no lack of access to birth control in this population, so their concern is really about having less of "those people" around (anybody "not like me").
It's pretty fascist if you think about it -- hey someone should write a book! ;-)

"Promoting her book "Spoken From The Heart" former first lady Laura Bush reveals she disagreed with George on gay marriage and abortion."

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSounds pretty anti-Hispanic, anti-Islamic, anti-brown and anti-yellow to me. Not to mention anti-Catholic and anti-liberty. That's an impressive double hat trick right there!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGreat idea. Why don't they go first and lead by example?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI can see it now... "Any morally acceptable pathway to prevent catastrophic global warming must deal with the social and economic injustice of bean consumption. This pernicious legume, and the attendant rise in methane emissions for which it is responsible, can only be prevented by broad, free access to "Bean-O" as part of a comprehensive program of greenhouse gas control."
C'mon, people. We owe it to our children.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSooo lemme get this straight. It's not so much MANmade global warming as it is WOMANmade global warming? Whew! That's a relief! Come to think of it, MANmade global warming is one of those rare cases where women don't demand equal representation. But seriously, if there are people in authority who can concoct and distribute such nonsense as in this article, and do it with a straight face, then we are doomed.
