Population Control Freaks Demand Global One-Child Policy

Diane Francis, who happens to be a Financial Post columnists, wants to reduce the worlds population by 1 billion by 2050 and by 2 more billion (to 3.43 billion) by 2075. And she calls for a "planetary law", such as China's one-child policy to reduce the birth rate which she considers to be "disastrous" and to get rid of nearly half of the world's population in 65 years. For the planet's sake, of course.

She doesn't specify the actual birth rate which she considers to be "disastrous", but for Canada, that rate is ~1.5 - which is way below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. She claims that having multiple children impedes development; the economists however predict quite a grim future, first and foremost - to the underpopulated Maritime region, not to mention the imminent collapse of the pension system in the developed world, including Canada. (Why do you think, the CPP premiums went up from 1.8% in 1986 to 4.95% in 2003?)

And when it comes to ethical aspect of the tyrannical "one-child" policy, D.Francis summarizes it with just one word "dramatic". Well, let's see what her "dramatic" really means:

But just as disturbing is Ms. Francis’ sanitized view of China’s one-child policy, which she recommends. This policy has been thoroughly documented as being a forced abortion policy, with all the outrageous abuses against women that one might expect from such a policy. China is facing a serious gender imbalance because of its massive slaughter of unborn girls, due to parents’ preference for boys.

If the Chinese hadn’t been limited to only one child, they wouldn’t have felt the need to make this deadly choice. This one-child policy also led to a number of high-profile refugee situations as a few brave women, threatened with the killing of their children, sought to flee China. And some are trying to fight the brutality from within the country.

But for a population control fascist like D.Francis, it's not really a big deal, as long as "its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the ... human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet". And she is very upset that Copenhagen gathering of eco-crooks will only be discussing how to tax us out of our hard-earned relative prosperity, without considering any measures that would force human beings (whom D. Francis regards as mere "rational animals") to abort and contracept themselves out of existence.
