‘You People Need To Be Stopped:’ Babies And Personal Liberty
‘You People Need To Be Stopped:’ Babies And Personal Liberty
May 13, 2026 6:01 PM

, the young woman who testified before Congress that she needed someone (you) to pay for her birth control, lost her bid for Senate in California. She was pushing for “progressive change,” which meant, in part, that someone (you) would be paying for lots of birth control. No one should be without. No questions asked.

Unless, of course, you want to have children – more than your fair share. Or if you’re poor. Or not American. In these cases, there’s a problem.

Nicholas Kristof, in The New York Times, is throwing around words like “bewildered” and “nuts” when es to keeping certain people from getting pregnant. We simply aren’t doing enough to stop them. Globally, he says, we’re under-investing in getting birth control to the developing world. Here in the U.S., Kristof says, we need to get long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) into young people, fast. (Never mind that LARCs are more expensive in the long run and have hideous side effects for many women.)

The Catholic bishops in Kenya are more than a little peeved at the World Health Organization right now. They have evidence that tetanus vaccines provided by WHO are laced with a substance that causes sterilization in women. Here’s part of a letter they’ve written to the Kenyan people they serve:

[D]uring the second phase of the Tetanus vaccination campaign in March 2014, that is sponsored by WHO/UNICEF, the Catholic Church questioned the secrecy of the exercise. We raised questions on whether the tetanus vaccine was linked to a population control program that has been reported in some countries, where a similar vaccine was laced with Beta-HCG hormone which causes infertility and multiple miscarriages in women.

On March 26, 2014 and October 13, 2014, we met the Cabinet Secretary in charge of health and the Director of Medical Services among others and raised our concerns about the Vaccine and agreed to jointly test the vaccine. However the ministry did not cooperate and the joint tests were not done.

The Catholic Church struggled and acquired several vials of the vaccine, which we sent toFour unrelatedGovernment and private laboratories in Kenya and abroad.

We want to announce here, thatallthe tests showed that the vaccine used in Kenya in March and October 2014 was indeed laced with the Beta-HCG hormone.

Then, there are the folks who are quite adamant and in your face if you have a large (more than two. Maybe three.) kids. Rachel Wagley, a young woman with four sisters, has been dealing with this ilk lately:

Let me provide an excerpt from a conversation I had last week with a young woman I had never before met. She is 24 years old, upper-middle-class, predictable in her affiliations with the far Left, and totes a designer pouch. She knows nothing about demography but lives in gripping fear of that menacing specter of overpopulation.

WACO: “Hey, Rachel, c’mere. I heard your mom had an absurd number of kids.”

Me: “Oh, hi. Um, I wouldn’t call it an absurd number.”

WACO: “How many does she have?”

Me: “Five.”

WACO: “That’s an absurd number.”

Me: “Why?”

WACO: “What’s the difference between two and five? What do three more kids get you? Why can’t you just be happy with one?”

Me: “…Um.”

WACO: “And that’s way too many girls in one house.”

Me: “Oh, I love all my sisters. I wouldn’t give up a single sister.”

WACO: “Well, I’m sure they’re all loooovely people, but think about your impact on the earth. Your family is destroying the earth. Should have cut her off before it got to that point.”

Me: “Should have cut off my mom?”

WACO: “Yeah, should have cut her off before you all got there.”

Me: “Should have cut off my mom before my sisters and I were born?”

WACO: “Yeah, of course. That many kids destroys our earth. Think of our water. Besides, who needs that many? There are too many [kids] running around already.”

Me: “Uh, who should have ‘cut her off?’”

WACO: “There should be some law for that. Definitely need to cut her off.”

You people need to be stopped. Cut off. And we’re here to help you do that. We’ll decide who gets birth control, for how long, if you need to be sterilized, and how many kids are really right for you (well, not you. Us, really.)

The architects of the War On Women want to make sure that everyone gets free birth control, because women need to have choices! Women can’t possibly finish law school and have a kid! Or afford birth control pills! Every women needs choice!

Unless the women are conservative. Or poor. Or in the developing world. Or really like kids and want to have a large family. Then, you people need to be stopped.

Avatar, WALL-E, and Hybrids
I saw the latest blockbuster Avatar last night, and the early plaudits are true: this is a visually stunning masterpiece of “hybrid” cinematography, a “full live-action shoot bination puter-generated characters and live environments.” But there are other, pelling ways, in which Avatar is a hybrid of sorts. There are literal hybrids in the Avatars themselves, the genetically-altered bining both elements of Na’vi and human genes to act as bodies for the Avatar “sleep walkers.” mentators have noted the lack of...
Climate Babel
With all of the blizzards, cold temperatures and the circus-like atmosphere in Copenhagen last week, it looks like people are ing more and more skeptical of global warming—or I should say climate change. But in times like these we have to remember that blizzards, or even historical low temperatures, are irrelevant–because it is not LOCAL warming, it is GLOBAL warming. The only time LOCAL temperatures have any significance is when they are hotter than normal–then it es empirical evidence. I...
Column: Christmas message should inform environmentalism
In a new column in The Detroit News, I set authentic environmental stewardship against the goings-on at the recently concluded UN Copenhagen conference. A slightly longer version of mentary will be published tomorrow in the weekly Acton News & Commentary. Merry Christmas to all! The not-so-subtle politicizing of science revealed by the Climategate affair, along with the alarmist and at times downright silly antics of some proponents of environmentalism (a word that has acquired numerous shades of mitment), ought not...
Just Sign Here
Those three words Just Sign Here are what you’re told when you sign up for a cellphone, or buy a car or take out a bank loan. And it’s what you’re told to do when you buy a house whether or not there’s a mortgage. Just the buying part involves many disclosures about the nature of the property and pages of stuff to read and acknowledge. Over the years I’ve heard more than one escrow officer admit, “if you read...
Guardian Angels and the CO2 Thing
The question: Is this Copenhagen global warming conference an environmental pilgrimage for some? Says one demonstrator: “You can call it, like, some kind of a new religion, I don’t know … ” But the guy in the polar bear costume isn’t so sure. ...
Blessed are the shoplifters?
If ever G.K. Chesterton’s old quip about heresy being “truth gone mad” was in full view, es a report from England whereby Fr. Tim Jones, an Anglican minister, had actually encouraged the poor to shoplift from large chains this holiday season. … the minister’s controversial sermon at St. Lawrence Church in York has been slammed by police, the British Retail Consortium and a local MP, who all say that no matter what the circumstances, shoplifting is an offence. Delivering his...
Not So Liberating: The Twilight of Liberation Theology
NRO’s Corner published my article on Pope Benedict’s recent remarks to Brazilian bishops on liberation theology: It went almost unnoticed, but on December 5, Benedict XVI articulated one of the most stinging rebukes of a particular theological school ever made by a pope. Addressing a visiting group of Brazilian bishops, Benedict followed some ments about Catholic education with some very sharp and deeply critical remarks about liberation theology and its effects upon the Catholic Church. After stressing how certain liberation...
Power in Sports, Wealth, and Politics
As a follow-up note to my previous post, “Wealth and Fidelity, Golf and Marriage,” it’s worth exploring in some more detail the multi-billion dollar phenomenon that has been called “Tiger, Inc.” and the relationship between power in sports, wealth, and politics. Lord Acton’s dictum, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” has found relevance in a number of contexts beyond those of its initial utterance. It is most frequently used nowadays to refer to the kind of fullness...
The Regressive Carbon Tax
A new NBER working paper promises to blow up the myth that it is primarily the wealthy that will bear the cost of taxes on carbon emissions. In “Who Pays a Price on Carbon?” Corbett A. Grainger and Charles D. Kolstad explore the possibility that “under either a cap-and-trade program that limits carbon emissions or a carbon tax that imposes an outright tax on these emissions, the poor may be among the hardest hit. Because they spend a greater share...
Global Warming Consensus Alert: Earth Doomed (URGENT UPDATE: OR NOT! UPDATE 2X: YUP, WE’RE DOOMED)
Breaking news: India, China walk out of climate summit So much for the “God moment.” Seeing as how this was our last chance and all, I think I’m going to take the afternoon off to go get my affairs in order. Mind Boggling: How could world leaders e to a consensus when Chin-Strap the Polar Bear and the Guardian Angels of the Climate were all in agreement? Unity in diversity! It was so spiritual! The mind reels. CONSENSUS! No, seriously,...
