Because it defeated their argument. They were for the birth of 'Americans' but not the other! BZZT! Wrong answer!

Don't forget MSM carried Pat Buchanan for years whining about not enough white babies being born. The GOP is still playing the same game, but never grasped that their forced birthing does not only apply to white women!

They should have given all women all their rights if they wanted the vision of social stability they claim whites create, to happen. Their delineation of stability is pretty weak in a connecte world.

But their forced birthing plan wouldn't make up for their predatory wars and trade policies, which draw emigrants in. Same thing happened in Rome when the empire made their lives unbearable, they moved to Rome. They know the history and say they want to stop it from happening here. But you cannot do that with corruption and greed and hatred. Even the fall of Rome was not mourned by all of the people in Italy, either.

But I'm only talking about those lower on the food chain and the rationale that is given to them, in different shades of dumb, for cost-effectiveness.

The real bosses of the GOP, the Koch brothers and global oligarchs, have a much more dangerous game with all of this. They don't care about people crossing the border, it serves their finances very well. Destabilization of the federal government by promoting the 'scandal' they created, is the goal to stop anyone getting in the way of their profits. A just immigration bill would do just that, it's more than just racism at play.

Check the part of this thread about why they really want forced births:

The First Feminist President, Barack Obama

by Mandy Van Deven

March 23, 2009



On January 20th the first self-identified feminist was named President of the United States of America. Just two days after taking office, Barack Obama performed his first presidential act of solidarity with women around the world by repealing the Global Gag Rule. Established in 1984 by President Reagan, the Global Gag Rule denies aid to international groups "which perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning."

The Global Gag Rule has come to be seen as a litmus test of the current US President's stance on women's rights, though it is just one aspect of the complicated story of the impact of American reproductive rights policy in countries around the globe. [17]



After witnessing the impact of President Bush's reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule, Michelle Goldberg, journalist, author, and long-time critic of the Bush Administration's policies on sexual and reproductive health, decided that a book about the global battle for reproductive justice was long overdue. So she wrote The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World. [17]

The cover art depicting a woman holding the Earth on her shoulders is more than appropriate for this deeply-researched, historically-informed examination: fifty years worth of research about four continents has convinced Goldberg that women's oppression is at the crux of many of the world's most intractable challenges. She illustrates how US policies act as a catalyst for or an impediment to women's rights worldwide, and puts forth a convincing argument that women's liberation worldwide is key to solving some of our most daunting problems.

"Underlying diverse conflicts - demography, natural resources, human rights, and religious mores - is the question of who controls the means of reproduction," she writes. "Women's intimate lives have become inextricably tied to global forces."

The war on women is not just a war on women, but on men, too. Men who don't support women's rights are sealing their own fate.

Not just an American problem. It is about global control and reducing all mankind to commodities.

This is just one of the many reasons why they hate Barack Obama.
