Forced abortions, mandatory sterilization, global governance -- these are just some of the ideas Obama's science advisor has supported in the past.
According to a Fox News article, John Holdren -- President Obama's "science czar" -- has espoused the need for forced abortions, sterilizations, and the creation of a "Planetary Regime" that would oversee population levels and protect the planet. The ideas are contained in a book he coauthored in 1977 entitled Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Ben Lieberman with The Heritage Foundation says that while Holdren does have some solid scientific credentials, he also has a very long history of making outlandish statements. "Part of his solution to whatever the crisis he felt was befalling the world at the moment has been population control -- very, very heavy-handed efforts at population control, even to the point of talking about sterilizing populations against their will and so forth," he points out. "So a lot of really scary things that didn't come out in his confirmation hearing." Lieberman adds that Holdren also supports global government -- and not just any global government, but a very heavy-handed and intrusive government. "Again, that seems to be the solution to every one of his supposed crises," Lieberman says. According to Lieberman, the only thing concerned citizens can do at this point is keep a close eye on any statements coming from Holdren's office.
