This woman is pretty good looking, but I have to say she sounds like an eco-nitwit. If she wants a world with no (or few) children, how does she expect her cherished English social system to work? Who is going to pay for her national health health and state pension when she is old and gray? [She's probably rich and doesn't care. -ed. But what about everybody else?... Oh, never mind.]

1. ligneus:She is right though, people that stupid should not have kids.
Nov 23, 2007 - 7:43 pm 2. papertiger:She is definitely a practitioner of the CareBear Stare [ - The Care Bear Stare is the ideological conviction that there's no problem that can't be solved by the power of human intelligence and relentless application of good will.]
The problem is there are entirely too many of these practitioners haunting the hall of power. Do not make the mistake of believeing they will simply self select themselves out of existence.
They are a very real menace to the people who would like to live a heathy life passing on the bounty of freedom to future generations.
Here is an example of what I mean. The other day I went to the library to check out Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, for study purposes. I wanted to see for myself that Al Gore actually used discredited science as the basis for his graphics. [ and rest assured his paleoclimate reconstruction is the falsified MBH99 - the only thing he changed was the name of the study, from MBH99 to Dr. Lonnie Thompson Ice Core - which is another fraud in and of itself]
But back to my point, at the library I couldn’t find AIT on the shelf, inspite of it being listed as on the shelf by the computer catalog. So I asked th librarian. He found it right away.
It is filed in the children’s section of the library. This kind of shocked me, but ok, I rolled with it.
I found AIT tucked in between two books on abortion – one by Nancy Day titled Abortion: debate the issue, and another by Tricia Andryszewski titled [I included the links because you might think I were full of it if you didn't see it with your own eyes]
You tell me what is the purpose of filing these three books together in a childrens section – if not to promote or create a generation of simple minded idiots like this young English woman. And they are coming for your kids through legislations in a hundred various ways.
The supreme court ruled that CO2 is a poison that can be regulated by the state – think about that.
The air you breath -[specificly the air you exhale] – is subject to government regulation.
If that doesn’t put a chill up your spine you are as stupid as the woman who is featured in the article above.
Nov 23, 2007 - 11:56 pm 3. tioedong:Who is going to pay for her national health health and state pension when she is old and gray?
The immigrants. I have a couple of my (Philippine) relatives there working as caretakers for the elderly. They have their three kids there.
And, unlike those working in Japan or Saudi, they can become citizens.
Nov 24, 2007 - 3:07 am 4. NewcombCarlton:It’s another case of liberals’ desires being in conflict. Another is suggested by commenter tioedong. Liberals tend to believe in unfettered immigration, but population movements from underdeveloped countries to developed countries will lead to more energy use as immigrants prosper and acquire automobiles, air conditioning, and other technology.
Nov 24, 2007 - 3:54 am 5. Anthony (Los Angeles):Sounds to me like she’s doing the world a favor by not passing on her particular genes.
Nov 24, 2007 - 6:13 am 6. Richard Nieporent:She is just a religious fanatic. Given her beliefs you would think that she would be willing to live the aesthetic life as another group of religious fanatics who refused to have children, the Shakers, did. However that does not appear to be the case. If she really wants to lower her carbon footprint why doesn’t she just make the ultimate sacrifice for Mother Gaia?
Nov 24, 2007 - 7:39 am 7. Insufficiently Sensitive:This is liberal guilt carried to new heights.
Only instead of honorably committing seppuku or other self-obliteration of choice, she does it to the next generation. And like so many committed gay couples and others just too committed to the revolution against their parents to act as parents themselves, she’s so committed to live-for-the-moment that there’s no thought to what or who will support her in her feeble and helpless years.
The result of such actions by large numbers is effectively a surrender to whatever barbarian hordes are pounding on the gates and breeding meanwhile. In a red-state blue-state country, this would presumably mean the evil right-wingers that have the effrontery to disagree with her.
Unless she cares so little for the dwindling number of socially (now environmentally) conscious children of the future that she’d consign their safekeeping to the inevitable invaders who’d cheerfully loot the place, burn its libraries, log its forests, dig up its gold and run it to suit themselves.
Nov 24, 2007 - 8:22 am 8. Lem:My question is why does the fantastic musings of a village idiot make news?
Ultimately there is very little difference between the people holed up in Russia waiting for the ‘end of the world’ and this gentle idiot.
This woman could have been a character in 1989 Heathers.
Nov 24, 2007 - 11:31 am 9. Jamie Irons:Distressing that The Daily Mail (see picture caption) can’t spell the word sterilized…
I thought the English were smarter than we benighted Americans…

Nov 24, 2007 - 12:59 pm 10. ic:Roger: You are selfish if the reason for having kids is to have someone pay for your health care and retirement.
Nov 24, 2007 - 1:27 pm 11. Ray Zacek:I thought the English were smarter than we benighted Americans…
Jamie Irons
Maybe they used to be but now I have my doubts. They seem to have turned into a dumbed-down, feckless nation of drunks, soccer hooligans, twits and buffoons (ever see “Little Britain” on BBC? Makes Monte Python look cerebral) and politically correct mandarins. As for this young woman with her voluntary infertility, it’s simply the logical extension of the more cult-like aspects of degraded liberalism.
Nov 24, 2007 - 1:39 pm 12. Mitch:Thank God my grandchildren will never meet hers.
Nov 24, 2007 - 7:48 pm 13. Wellspring:I support her decision. Having children is a selfish act, and I heartily encourage my friends at Moveon.org and the Daily Kos to join her in making a real difference for a better world.
Think of it as evolution in action.
Nov 25, 2007 - 5:36 am 14. Macker:Perhaps these couples will convert to Islam soon.
Nov 25, 2007 - 1:40 pm 15. MikeLM:Sounds like a good move to me- people that stupid do us a favor by removing themselves from the gene pool.
