‘Fertility Management’: Al Gore promoting fewer children to curb pollution

The global warming debate has always been a touchy one for both sides, and when the world’s top global warming activist is talking about the size of population and how that contributes to the choices societies make, it might be worth taking note.

In an appearance Monday in New York City, former Vice President Al Gore, prominently known for his climate change activism, took on the subject of population size and the role of society in controlling it to reduce pollution.

He offered some ideas about what might be done for females in the name of stabilizing population growth. (h/t Chris Horner via wattsupwiththat.com)

“One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women,” Gore said. “You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.

“You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women,” he said. “And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”

Comment by Tara on June 24, 2011 at 12:59am: Yeah right..... educating girls and empowering them? I think not. All Al Gore and his enviro nazi buddies want is to take control of womens reproductive lives and make them feel guilty for bearing children, a God given right. While Gore jet sets around the world and lives in a sprawling mansion, (both carbon polluting vessels I might add), he's trying to tell everybody, especially women to stop breeding basically, to thin the herd because there's too many of us breathing out that big bad monster, CO2. The sky is falling if you don't listen to the almighty Gore. What a fricken joke.

I'm so sick of these control freak a-holes trying to tell women what we should do with our bodies and our lives. What, has Gore grown a uterus now and can speak for all women? Un-f-ing believable.
