Reasonable minds look to other means for survival.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Manifesto 11<\/em> reinforced the belief that God and religion were to be ignored while human reasoning was to be exalted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We believe&#8230; that traditional dogmatic or authoritative religions that place revelation, God, ritual, or creed above human needs and experience do a disservice to the human species&#8230;. As nontheists, we begin with humans not God&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tragically, this concept of rejecting a Creator laid the foundation for what has become a\u00a0horrific holocaust in American society\u00a0&#8212; and\u00a0it was enhanced by the idea that the earth was overpopulated by humans:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The future is, however, filled with dangers. In learning to apply the scientific method to nature and human life, we have opened the door to ecological damage, overpopulation&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Manifesto 11<\/em> goes on to state that &#8220;excessive population growth must be checked&#8221;:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The world community must engage in cooperative planning concerning the use of rapidly depleting resources. The planet earth must be considered a single ecosystem. Ecological damage, resource depletion, and excessive population growth must be checked by international concord. The cultivation and conservation of nature is a moral value; we should perceive ourselves as integral to the sources of our being in nature. We must free our world from needless pollution and waste, responsibly guarding and creating wealth, both natural and human. Exploitation of natural resources, uncurbed by social conscience, must end.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The concept of overpopulation then easily paved the way for the unfettered legalization of abortion.<\/p>\n<p><em>Human Manifesto 11<\/em> arrived in the 1970s, when rumors of food shortages promoted by academic professors such as Paul Ehrlich, author of the now discredited book \u201cThe Population Bomb,\u201d\u00a0 helped fuel the debate that the earth had too many people.<\/p>\n<p>In 1968, Ehrlich told a Planned Parenthood audience that 3.5 million people, \u201cmostly children\u201d would die that year.<\/p>\n<p>The Stanford professor of doom also predicted: \u201cIn the 1970s the world will undergo famines \u2013 hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death.\u201d Ehrlich also falsely\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.discoverthenetworks.org\/individualProfile.asp?indid=2194\" target=\"_blank\">predicted<\/a>\u00a0that by the 1980s, most of the world\u2019s key natural resources would be depleted, that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980-89, and that by 1999 \u201cthe population of the U.S. [would]\u00a0shrink from 250 million to about 22.5 million \u2026 because of famine and global warming.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_84220\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84220\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-84220 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/alan-guttmacher-planned-parenthood-eugenics-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-84220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Alan Guttmacher<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Planned Parenthood, already <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthoods-connections-to-eugenics\/\">deep into the philosophy of eugenics<\/a>, appeared to heed Ehrlich&#8217;s foolish ideas.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/news.google.com\/newspapers?nid=1817&amp;dat=19660310&amp;id=VW8hAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=R4oFAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=7293,1556940\">1966<\/a>, former Planned Parenthood president Alan Guttmacher compared the world population with the threat of nuclear war, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/newspapers?nid=1817&amp;dat=19660310&amp;id=VW8hAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=R4oFAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=7293,1556940&amp;hl=en\">telling<\/a>\u00a0the Washington Post that governments may have to act officially to limit family size. \u201cIt may be taken out of the voluntary category,&#8221;\u00a0Guttmacher said.<\/p>\n<p>In 1969, author Paul Scott <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/newspapers?nid=1774&amp;dat=19690812&amp;id=OL0qAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=-WUEAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=5965,3097669&amp;hl=en\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0about Guttmacher&#8217;s philosophy. &#8220;In an article in Medical World News Reports recently, Dr. Guttmacher forsees the possibility that coercion may become necessary to reduce the birth rate,&#8221; Scott wrote,\u00a0quoting Guttmacher, who said,\u00a0\u201cEach country will have to decide its own form of coercion and determine when and how it should be employed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then, by 1970, former Planned Parenthood president Alan Guttmacher sounded population control alarm bells again while speaking under the sponsorship of Planned Parenthood of Sarasota County, Inc., telling a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.google.com\/newspapers?nid=1774&amp;dat=19700128&amp;id=gjwgAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=H2YEAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=7344,8942303\">Sarasota paper<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0the idea of limiting families to only two children was \u201cdesirable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Sarasota Herald Tribune journalist Lee McCall reported that while &#8220;there has been discussion of limiting families to 2.2 children, Dr. Guttmacher feels it inadvisable for Planned Parenthood to boldly vocalize such a plan.\u00a0Guttmacher, who knew just how unpopular the idea of forced population control could be, told McCall that the limitation of births &#8220;would be difficult.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guttmacher added that it was a bad idea for other reasons as well:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the first place it would probably split the organization.

While Guttmacher worked within the structure of Planned Parenthood, Lader strategically recruited feminist leader Betty Friedan to do his bidding to legalize abortion. In her book, &#8220;Subverted,&#8221; author Sue Ellen Browder explains in depth how Lader convinced Friedan to insert abortion and contraception into the women\u2019s movement \u201cBill of Rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They convinced her she wouldn\u2019t be able to achieve equity\u2014not equality, equity\u2014for women in education and the workplace if she didn\u2019t include abortion in her package of political demands,&#8221; Browder said in a recent interview about her research.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court eventually played the most pivotal role in abortion legalization when a majority of male Justices ruled in favor of the infamous <em>Roe v.
