AFA: Government Must Mandate All Married Couples Have Three Children

[meegbear]

Our favorite American Family Association blogger, Bryan Fischer, took to the organization’s blog on Election Day to write about the issue that was on every voter’s mind: "tax-payer funded contraception." For too long America has had a method to have sex without having babies, and we have to work quickly to end this right now because, as Fischer says, the "utter disaster I call MussoliniCare may soon make contraception free (which means everybody else pays for it) to women in the U.S." This country is barely making enough babies as it is. But even worse, it’s making the wrong kind of babies, ones that aren’t born into white two-parent opposite-sex households who buy the AFA’s $50 porn filter. And Fischer has a solution: The government needs to make married couples have three kids AT LEAST.

So no taxpayer funded contraception period for unwed men and women. Period. Not another dime to Planned Parenthood since they insist on handing the stuff out to single people like candy while scarfing down hundreds of millions of tax dollars.

And we shouldn’t force Americans to pay for married-couple contraception either. Many Roman Catholics, for instance, believe contraception itself is immoral. To force them to pay for other people to get it is to violate Jefferson's dictum.

But no, this all wouldn’t be because Fischer is Catholic or anything like that.

Our fertility rate right now is barely at replacement level, and that's with 40% of our children born out-of-wedlock — bastards, to use the quaint and correct term (dictionary: `bastard: a person born of parents not married to each other`). That's not name-calling, it's telling the truth.

This is just the best. Everything that is "quaint" is "correct," obviously. (Bryan, this is not telling the truth, it’s using a synonym for no other reason than to name-call. Also: dictionary: apostrophe: "a mark ‘ used to indicate the omission of letters or figures, the possessive case, or the plural of letters or figures.")

The last thing we need is any public policy that encourages married couples to have fewer children. In fact, the American standard ought to be a minimum of three children per married couple. (...)

In order to "multiply" – that is, to grow in number – each couple has to have at least three children. If you have two, you’re not multiplying, you’re just replacing yourself. Now some couples may have infertility problems, or other medical problems. Such medical problems limited my wife and me, for instance, to two children. Those things are unavoidable in a fallen world.

1. Duggerizing America - the AFA fantasy.

What Bryan means: The only Americans who count - the white folks - are going to lose the population race with the minorites - forced pregnancy is our only Republican salvation!

2. Having babies for Jebus!

You know what, Fischer? I don't like my tax dollars supporting wars because I think they are immoral, but guess what -- I don't get to choose. The last thing we need is any religion determining public policy. One religion's dearly-held dogma is another's blasphemy and the government has no business determining which is "right."

What a maroon.

Just ugh.

5. The unspoken subtext of course is :

"REPRODUCE or all 'decent' Americans drown in the rising tide of coloured empires!!!!111"

6. That sort of policy worked SO well in Ceaucescu's Romania....

17. Yup, as I recall, the Romanians revolted and put Ceaucescu and his delightful wife

up against a wall and shot them...

19. Overplanned Parenthood: Ceausescu's cruel law

http://www.ceausescu.org/ceausescu_texts/overplanned_parenthood.htm

It was one of the late dictator's cruelest commands. At first Romania's birthrate nearly doubled. But poor nutrition and inadequate prenatal care endangered many pregnant women. The country's infant-mortality rate soard to 83 deaths in every 1,000 births (against a Western European average of less than 10 per thousand). About one in 10 babies was born underweight; newborns weighing 1,500 grams (3 pounds, 5 ounces) were classified as miscarriages and denied treatment. Unwanted survivors often ended up in orphanages. "The law only forbade abortion," says Dr. Alexander Floran Anca of Bucharest. "It did nothing to promote life."

Ceausescu made mockery of family planning. He forbade sex education. Books on human sexuality and reproduction were classified as "state secrets," to be used only as medical textbooks. With contraception banned, Romanians had to smuggle in condoms and birth-control pills. Though strictly illegal, abortions remained a widespread birth-control measure of last resort. Nationwide, Western sources estimate, 60 percent of all pregnancies ended in abortion or miscarriage.

The government's enforcement techniques were as bad as the law. Women under the age of 45 were rounded up at their workplaces every one to three months and taken to clinics, where they were examined for signs of pregnancy, often in the presence of government agents - dubbed the "menstrual police" by some Romanians. A pregnant woman who failed to "produce" a baby at the proper time could expect to be summoned for questioning. Women who miscarried were suspected of arranging an abortion. Some doctors resorted for forging statistics. "If a child died in our district, we lost 10 to 25 percent of our salary," says Dr. Geta Stanescu of Bucharest. "But it wasn't our fault: we had no medicine or milk, and the families were poor."

Abortion was legal in some cases: if a woman was over 40, if she already had four children, if her life was in danger - or, in practice, if she had Communist Party connections. Otherwise, illegal abortions cost from two to four months' wages. If something went wrong, the legal consequences were enough to deter many women from seeking timely medical help. "Usually women were so terrified to come to the hospital that by the time we saw them it was too late," says Dr. Anca. "Often they died at home." No one knows how many women died from these back-alley abortions.

7. Good luck. Mom married Republican Stepdad after she was 60.

You can't get blood from a turnip. :eyes:

8. Exponential demand with constant supply of resources is not even a possibility.

How blind must one be to not realize the planet has limits.

9. MISLEADING THREAD TITLE. The guy's whacked, but nowhere does he state "mandate."

11. WTF?!

[felix_numinous]

12. Overpopulation is just a myth

just like climate change. Don't believe your lying eyes.

[a la izquierda]

13. hahaha...

my white husband (and I mean WHITE-he has roots in America since the 1640s) and I won't be having ANY kids. we're not so attached to our genes that we must reproduce. we might, gasp, adopt a brown kid from central america.
so fuck you, fischer.

[charlie]

14. The unspoken bit

is that legal immigrants aren't legitimate Americans.

This loopy Cassandra doesn't mention that our population continues to trend upward, regardless of fertility rate. So his problem isn't a problem, unless what he's really worried about is a shortage of Red Blooded Natural Born Americans.

15. Delete - dupe

[AspenRose]

16. This only applies to real American, white christian babies.

They've got to reproduce to catch up to the majority minority demographic coming in a few decades. So women of color, you can keep having abortions and your tubes tied. And if not, well, we'll just have to continue disproportionally tazing and arresting your kids.

:sarcasm: (sort of)
