Planned Parenthood: Kill Your Babe at Home
Surgical abortions decreased. Now PP has given females drugs to kill their infants at home. Some female deaths have resulted because of course PP doesn't have it altogether. So now the American home has become the real-life real-time abortuary. The mother is really the hands-on killer. So the Republic falls more quickly, more horrifically. PP wiggles every demon in place to do whatever is necessary in order to further its death trade. Of course, death-bound Dems and death-vowed B.. H. Obama, Marxist Muslim, up the ante.

Spain's Justice Minister says doctors not allowed to object to abortion
The Collegial Medical Organization and various pro-life groups in Spain have strongly rejected statements by the country's Minister of Justice, Francisco Caamano, who said Thursday that "there is no room for conscientious objection" when it comes to abortion.

In the 1973 publication 'Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions', co-authored by his old buddies, the Ehrlichs, Holdren wrote quite candidly about his basic view on human life, providing us with a peek at the decaying undergrowth out of which the Ecoscience document has emerged, proposing among other things a 'planetary regime' to assume command of matters of life and death.
In chapter 8 of the 'Human Ecology'-document, page 235, Holdren gives us his definition of human life:
"The fetus", Holdren writes, "given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being."

Sleepless in Shanghai
Reaping What They Didn't Sow
Remember all the Malthusian scare talk of a generation ago about overpopulation? Boy, were they wrong.
The world faces a potential demographic crisis that threatens both the global economy and global stability. Too few, not too many, children are being born in many countries around the world.
Low birthrates in Europe, East Asia, and even in places like Iran have resulted in rapidly aging societies. These societies will soon find themselves unable to sustain the kind of economic growth necessary to care for their population and maintain social peace.
