We are already suffering tremendous species loss, land desertification, wars over water and serious climate change threats. We are losing the First World estate for our children and being dragged by costly dogma into the ever-inferior condition. This is criminal idiocy.
Believers must be made to pay for their beliefs which impact and affect others. Dogma has no privilege, no exemption, it is not sacrosanct to non-believers nor to Nature herself. Those who destroy the per-capita estate of their own children and all others steal the quality of life from everyone.
Today it is not the developed countries that present a problem as most have stable populations were it not for immigration, both legal and illegal. Instead it is the undeveloped world which remains imprisoned by religious dogma, and due to population ruin in their own countries seek to export their troubles.
In addition, the "gag" rule itself is a crime. The gag rule, now global, denies foreign organizations receiving U.S. family planning assistance a right to use their non-U.S. funds to provide legal abortion, or even counsel or refer for abortion, or even lobby for the legalization of abortion in their country.
This completely fascist gag rule, affecting non-believers as well, was originally announced by the Reagan administration at the 1984 United Nations Conference on Population in Mexico City. It was then rescinded in 1993 by President Clinton, and then reinstated in 2001 by President George W. Bush on his first business day in office.
First day in office and we have to screw the women!
And this in the time of the greatest ecosystem stress humanity has ever faced, as recently revealed by the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment. This study, done by 1,360 experts in 95 nations, concluded a rising human population had polluted or over-exploited two-thirds of the ecological systems on which life depends, ranging from clean air to fresh water, in the past 50 years. Their conclusion: "Human activity is putting such strain on the natural functions of Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted,"
As the Dogma turns, increasing numbers of humans are damaging the planet at an unprecedented rate and raising the risks of abrupt collapses in nature that could spur disease, deforestation, and more fish-less "dead zones" in the seas.
Never has the morality of the two-child family, and balanced populations, been more clear and necessary. The sooner, the better, otherwise, it is outdated and dangerous "religious" dogma which will be the death of us.
