"...When it does blow up, it is going to be very difficult to defend."

Remarkable essay by Jonathan Last on population control in China-- one of the great crimes against humanity in modern times:

Excerpt:

And then there were the forced abortions and sterilizations. On this score, the Chinese government had help from the West. In 1979, as China prepared to roll out One-Child, the government signed an agreement with the United Nations Population Fund, which pledged $50 million to help control births—a euphemism that in practice meant groups of government workers rounding up pregnant women and forcing them to have abortions. The U.N.’s presence opened the door for other Western organizations, including the Ford Foundation and the International Planned Parenthood Federation, which poured resources into China in an effort to kill babies. These groups were not unaware of what was happening. The IPPF’s Benjamin Viel wrote admiringly, “Persuasion and motivation [are] very effective in a society in which social sanctions can be applied against those who fail to cooperate in the construction of the socialist state.”

A Planned Parenthood hack sent a memo to his bosses in 1980:

"I think that in the not-too-distant future this will blow up into a major Press story, as it contains all the ingredients for sensationalism—Communism, forced family planning, murder of viable fetuses, parallels with India, etc. When it does blow up, it is going to be very difficult to defend.

Planned Parenthood’s leadership ignored the warning..."

Please read the whole thing.


Note that Planned Parenthood and the UN Population Fund as well as the Ford Foundation knowingly paid for-- knowingly paid for--- forced abortions, forced contraception, and other totalitarian methods to prevent people from having families with more than one child. "Planned" Parenthood enthusiastically funded totalitarian-- not voluntary-- "planning" of family size.

Population control organizations and the partisans who support them have a very direct personal responsibility for this crime.

"...When it does blow up, it is going to be very difficult to defend."

Let's make them defend it.
