And if Collins’ Nomination is Troubling …

Wait until you read what Obama’s new science czar, John Holdren, thinks about population control. The always wonderful Mollie at GetReligion notes :

See, there’s another controversial Obama administration pick. But you wouldn’t know it from reading the New York Times news pages. His name is John Holdren. He is President Obama’s science czar — director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, assistant to the president for Science and Technology, and co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Here are some of the views he’s publicly espoused :

— Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
— The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
— Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
— People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
— A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.
