Eugenics is a discredited pseudo-scientific theory which has enabled society elites to attempt to curb or halt procreation among those they deem &#8220;unfit,&#8221; feebleminded,&#8221; &#8220;criminals,&#8221; or &#8220;defective&#8221; through tools like compulsory\u00a0sterilizations, birth control, and abortion. Even today, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-falsely-blame-pro-lifers-ice-forcibly-sterilized\/\">allegations<\/a> of such horrific abuses continue to surface,\u00a0and it would appear that society has not learned the lessons of the past. If history is a teacher, we must understand how quickly these evil ideologies can spread if they are not opposed.<\/p>\n<p>Eugenics has never really gone out of style. It has simply repackaged itself over and over.\u00a0In 1977, John P. Holdren\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/zombietime.com\/john_holdren\/\">co-authored<\/a>\u00a0the textbook &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ia802705.us.archive.org\/23\/items\/Ecoscience_17\/JohnHoldren-Ecoscience.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ecoscience<\/a>,&#8221; which discussed coercive and voluntary population control methods. The authors said of voluntary methods, &#8220;If these relatively uncoercive policies should fail to maintain a low American birth rate, more coercive laws might well be written,&#8221; adding,\u00a0&#8220;Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shockingly, Holdren eventually became part of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, after Obama\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/administration\/eop\/ostp\/about\/leadershipstaff\/director\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">named<\/a>\u00a0him White House science director.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Legitimate science&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eugenicsarchive.org\/html\/eugenics\/essay6text.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EugenicsArchive.org<\/a>, eugenics was once heavily promoted and presented as &#8220;legitimate science&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Eugenics traces its roots to Britain in the early 1880s, when Sir Francis Galton coined the term to mean &#8216;well-born&#8217; &#8230; Financial support for the popularization of eugenics came both from individuals and foundations in America&#8230; By 1928, eugenics was a topic in 376 separate college courses, which enrolled approximately 20,000 students.
