You're anti-abortion? Lordquinton Sep 2019 #30
Totally disagree ... this is one the greatest things I've ever seen Bernie take up mr_lebowski Sep 2019 #32
Yep. Jirel Sep 2019 #38
That would've been accurate, but not IMHO necessary to avoid consternation mr_lebowski Sep 2019 #39
The conservative "uproar" is ridiculous. Nt spooky3 Sep 2019 #2
So you are objecting to the availability of birth control and choice worldwide? KPN Sep 2019 #4
I agree. billpolonsky Sep 2019 #12
Bingo! Another Round Of Bernie Bashing In Pure Form! (n/t) corbettkroehler Sep 2019 #61
Well I agree with Bernie for a change. Birth control should be available to all women who want them. wasupaloopa Sep 2019 #6
That is a separate issue -- he is wrapping it in climate change NYMinute Sep 2019 #11
So when he says women in America Buzz cook Sep 2019 #13
Bernie's comment seems to take reproductive rights in America for granted TomCADem Sep 2019 #22
Bernie is wrong. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #26

No we do not! sheshe2 Sep 2019 #29
No that is a misguided interpretation. He never said anything like that. The story writer said it. wasupaloopa Sep 2019 #15
Exactly. Reducing population growth is literally the ONLY THING that will even begin mr_lebowski Sep 2019 #34
This is utterly ridiculous and borderline ignorant BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #7
Some people might think opposing voluntary birth control ... GeorgeGist Sep 2019 #8
That is an entirely separate issue NYMinute Sep 2019 #10
Baloney. Human population is the number one driver KPN Sep 2019 #14
Not all humans have the same carbon footprint NYMinute Sep 2019 #16
Who said anything about them being the same - regardless of the KPN Sep 2019 #19

IMHO, you're wrong, and here's why ... mr_lebowski Sep 2019 #35
The vast majority of people in poor countries do not immigrate. Blue_true Sep 2019 #59
Fifteen countries are responsible for more than two thirds of global CO2 emissions dalton99a Sep 2019 #49
More relevant numbers? Pantagruel Sep 2019 #52
Nothing borderline about it The Mouth Sep 2019 #62
Very good observations. nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #23
Disqualifying indeed nt NYMinute Sep 2019 #9

I'm surprised a good "democratic socialist" like Bernie didn't come back with the fact that WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #18
Oh brother .... really? That's quite an extrapolation KPN Sep 2019 #20
Humans are causing overly rapid climate change. "Overpopulation" is not. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #21
Except that yes, it is. Jirel Sep 2019 #41
There are plenty of radical solutions to those problems that don't require controlling a person's WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #46
See, the problem some people have is Bernie never mentioned "Population control" nor did he Autumn Sep 2019 #50
Exactly. Thank you. KPN Sep 2019 #53
What Bernie actually said doesn't fit their narrative, so they will find anything to twist like Autumn Sep 2019 #54
AND that is exactly what Bernie said. He said NOTHING about "Population control" and you ignore Autumn Sep 2019 #55
the biggest is women's rights and equality. you don't need to focus on population itself JI7 Sep 2019 #25
I agree with the statements Bernie makes in the post Farmer-Rick Sep 2019 #33
Exactily this Lordquinton Sep 2019 #36

Please help me understand something The Mouth Sep 2019 #63
Well I am glad to hear that, at least. The Hyde Amendment was a compromise from back in the day Hekate Sep 2019 #65

This is troubling for Bernie. LanternWaste Sep 2019 #47
Not at all, Bernie isn't FFR. Here's a good thread to use the "This is troubling for Bernie." Autumn Sep 2019 #48
