Environmentalist that advocates for massive changes in US life style and wealth transfers to developing countries displayed their ugly side yesterday. A story titled Population Control Called Key To Deal in the China Daily exposed what has been a fear here at St Michael Society; the environmental movement’s war on children in the womb. Here is one of many horrible quotes from the story:
“Although China’s family planning policy has received criticism over the past three decades, Zhao said that China’s population program has made a great historic contribution to the well-being of society.”
As a result of the family planning policy, China has seen 400 million fewer births, which has resulted in 18 million fewer tons of CO2 emissions a year, Zhao said.”
A refresher; “China’s family planning policy” is nothing to be proud of and includes forced abortions as a way to enforce their mandated one child per family law. Saving the environment does not include declaring war on children in the womb. Nor does it include removing the gift of creation from the sexual act.
UP DATE: Finacial Post runs a horrible op-ed that concludes climate warming or cooling is not the problem, but humans are overpopulating the world and the world should adopt the China one child policy.
Let’s be clear. We are all called upon to be good responsible stewards of creation. The world around us is a living display of God’s great love for mankind. As we have written before, we at St Michael Society do not oppose legitimate efforts to ensure that we pass on this gift intact to future generations.
On the other hand, we will fight any effort that pits mother against child in her womb, husband against wife or couple against their gift of making a new life. Population control can never be a solution.
