Forced Sterilizations a Product of Population Control Ideology

Back in April, India’s Supreme Court heard a case about a Surgeon in the State of Bihar. This surgeon performed 53 operations in about two hours in conditions that can only be described as appalling: “assisted by unqualified staff, with no access to running water or equipment to clean the operating equipment.”

The “patients” were left “crying out in pain [and though] they were in desperate need of medical care, no one came to assist them.”

But what’s most appalling is that butchers like him are acting at the behest and with the support of the West.

The operations were sterilizations and, as the U.K.’s Observer has reported, they were paid for, in part, with British aid money.

State and local officials in India used the approximately 250 million dollars to target poor women. Actually, “target” is too benign a term: Poor women were bribed, berated, and threatened if they didn’t undergo sterilization. Then, to add injury to insult, the sterilizations were often performed “with reckless disregard for the lives of poor women.”

The UK’s Department of International Development cited the need to combat climate change as justification for its support of programs like the Indian one. I’m not making this up, folks. It, like other western agencies, sees population control as a key to reducing greenhouses gases.

Needless to say the “population” they are seeking to “control” doesn’t reside in London’s tony Belgravia district. They are the poor living in what used to be called the “third world.”
