Libs Stop Having Babies to Save the Planet

RUSH: “New York Times: People Aren’t Having Kids Because They’re Afraid Of Climate Change.” Now, what’s driving this story is the U.S. birthrate is below replacement levels, and the American life expectancy is contracting. Did you know that? The life expectancy in America is getting shorter despite all the advances in health and prosperity. That is being chalked up to the opioid crisis.

But the birthrate replacement levels, the simple way to define that is the birthrate replacement level is enough babies are born every year to maintain your country’s population. The ideal is population growth. Population growth equals economic growth. If a large percentage of the newly born will end up working as adults rather than becoming dependents, which is what the Democrats want for newborns, hence they try to get hold of ’em as early as day care, kindergarten and all that and start conditioning them for their future role as dependent Democrat voters.

So what the New York Times has done, they see the birthrate replacement level is below normal. And they have fought to combine another issue with that fact to push that issue, and that is climate change. So what the New York Times wants you to believe is the U.S. birthrate replacement level is below normal because people are unwilling to bring children into the world because the world is soon gonna be destroyed or uninhabitable. And who, what responsible, compassionate adult would want to bring into the world that isn’t gonna be there in 20 years or 30 a child?

“The New York Times reports that some would-be parents are actively avoiding having children because they believe an ‘exploding’ human population is contributing to climate change — and they want no part of it.”

Here’s some pull quotes from this piece. “A dozen interviews with nervous environmentalists, the NYT found that women are going on birth control and men are practicing celibacy –” Wait. Somebody needs to help me here. How does one practice celibacy?

So the New York Times found that “women are going on birth control, and men are being celibate just so they don’t have to live with the guilt that they brought about environmental ruin.” And I firmly believe that there are a whole bunch of liberals that actually think this. And you should too. You should not doubt this.

Folks, they have been raised on this. They’ve been taught this starting with Saturday Morning Cartoons all the way into preschool, into junior high school, middle class, high school. They have been preached to that humanity is what’s destroying the planet.

That humanity is the greatest threat the planet knows, as though the planet cannot survive with one of God’s creations: Human beings.

You can always redeem yourself for these sins that you have committed, and the first way is subscribe to the climate change theory, then vote Democrat, then donate Democrat, then support Big Government, and then support all policies designed to punish people who don’t believe in it. And that’s how this all happens. And it happens on every issue they’ve got from feminism to environmentalism.

“According to the [New York Times], the couples have varying approaches to their childlessness, but all believe that it’s best…” Get this. “According to the [New York Times], the couples” here who admit to not having kids to save the planet “believe that it’s best humanity end its run, so as to prevent rising tides and melting [north and south] poles — and the [New York Times] reporter nods approvingly” and writes approvingly of what these people say.

“[H]aving a child is one of the costliest actions they can take environmentally.” It’s right there in the New York Times story. “[H]aving a child is one of the costliest actions they can take environmentally.” The people interviewed by the New York Times believe it is best that humanity cease to exist. Not an exaggeration. “One woman, who is on birth control in order to speed the slow self-destruction of the human species…” Stop and think: Here’s a woman seeking redemption. She has accepted the guilt and the blame that the media and the left has accused her of for destroying the planet, destroying the climate.

But it’s worse than that. This woman who’s being quoted here says children “are not ‘congruent with a stable society.’”
