What would you say about a man who wrote these things back in the late 1970's as solutions to the "population bomb" he thought was coming??
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

No...these statements/beliefs are not taken out of context...nor have they ever been repudiated by the individual.
A link to the actual page scans of the book he co-authored is below so you can read for yourself.

Who is this guy? Why he is our new science Czar under Obama. John Holdren.

I understand he believes in global warming now. Maybe government control of old people's thermostats is next...solves warming AND end of life medicare expenses. I hear freezing to death is like going to sleep. Very natural. Why would anyone want to be a burden on society anyway?
We should follow the way of the Eskimo..ooops Inuit.

Here's the link to his own words and the book page scans.
John Holdren, Obama's Science Czar, says: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet
