Have more than two children? You are irresponsible!!!

Think that the political left is harmless?

In a piece in the Sunday Times, titled "Two children should be limit, says green guru", Sarah-Kate Templeton, Health Editor, writes:

COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an unbearable burden on the environment, the government’s green adviser has warned.

Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming. He says political leaders and green campaigners should stop dodging the issue of environmental harm caused by an expanding population.

Yep, you read it right. In order to hold off Global Warming (a theory which is so in dispute -- check the temperature outside lately? check the amount of snow we have had this winter?), this British leader says that a family should limit themselves to TWO children! He further says that British society should encourage contraception and abortion.

Right now, it is merely a recommendation. But how long before they enforce it under penalty of law? Forced abortions like China? How long before it makes it to America?

Freedom? Methinks freedom ought to be registered under the Endangered Species Act.

Read the rest of Sarah-Kate Templeton's piece and shudder.
