Eugenics alive and well in Obamaland

John Holdren, Obama’s new Science Czar (HT http://zombietime.com/)

In 1977, he coauthored a book that stated:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.

He coauthored the book with that other batshit insane “scientist” Paul Ehrlich, Al Gore’s end-of-the-world guru.  To the left, science and politics are inseparable, they reinforce one another in pursuit of a humanist, materialist, anthropocentric worldview that restricts individual freedom and imposes centralized control.  With the left’s history of dabbling in eugenics and their attachment to the sacred right of abortion, official appointments of people who are advocates of abhorrent population control methods shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Do you really think the Obama administration didn’t know about this book?  Of course they did.  They either agree with him or they don’t care. They’re not afraid of the fallout anymore.  There’s something about this fellow’s opinions that they think are important enough to place him in an unelected, unaccountable office that’s apparently going to set science policy for the country.
