Now that the socialists are gaining control of the world's largest economies, with promises of free this and stable that and entitlements to the other, it might be wise for us to ask "at what cost?"
The views of a guy like Jonathan Porrit, of the UK's Sustainable Development Commission, can give us a preview of the direction in which government policies are inevitably driven in a socialist state. He calls it irresponsible for families to have more than two children. The solution? More abortions. I wonder if any of the Christians who voted for Barack Obama are listening?
From The Times Online UK:
“I am unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how they decide to procreate and how many children they think are appropriate,” Porritt said.
“I think we will work our way towards a position that says that having more than two children is irresponsible. It is the ghost at the table. We have all these big issues that everybody is looking at and then you don’t really hear anyone say the “p” word.”
Porritt, who has two children, intends to persuade environmental pressure groups to make population a focus of campaigning.
“Many organisations think it is not part of their business. My mission with the Friends of the Earth and the Greenpeaces of this world is to say: ‘You are betraying the interests of your members by refusing to address population issues and you are doing it for the wrong reasons because you think it is too controversial,” he said.
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.
He said: “We still have one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in Europe and we still have relatively high levels of pregnancies going to birth, often among women who are not convinced they want to become mothers.
So now the UK has gotten itself into such a sorry state that they can't provide enough freebies for everyone. Is the future of Western society to condemn motherhood and large families? What does it portend for our future when children are no longer seen as a blessing, but as an environmental and social burden?
Barack Obama and his socialist ilk would have us all think that they can solve our problems and provide for us all. The long-term consequences of socialism are clear to see. Are we sure we want to go down this road?
