OLYMPIA, February 10, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In spite of global alarm over disastrous population decline in the developed world, Rep. Maralyn Chase has introduced a bill to the Washington State House that would require State health authorities to issue a pamphlet to 'encourage' families to limit the number of children to two or fewer.
House Bill 3111 is called "An Act Relating to Population Sustainability" and reflects the now widely discredited cliché popularized in the 1970's that overpopulation would cause massive food shortages and environmental disintegration. The bill concerns itself largely with routine activities of public health until the last clause which calls upon public health authorities to, "develop and distribute a pamphlet or other educational material that emphasizes the benefits and importance of couples limiting themselves to two or fewer children to promote population sustainability."
The term "sustainability" is a common buzzword among population control advocates at the United Nations and affiliated organizations for whom coercive abortion and sterilization programs are common practice. It has been the complaint of representatives of developing nations at the UN that UNICEF, the UNFPA and other groups threaten to withhold medical and food aid as a form of blackmail to reduce populations.
"Sustainability" is a commonly used as justification for the brutally enforced one-child policy in China which has been condemned by US authorities. The Washington bill has been referred to the Committee on Health Care.
