The 2020 election is in full swing and the Democratic candidates are competing for who can be the most extreme on the topic of ‘Climate Change.’
On Wednesday during the CNN town hall, socialist Bernie Sanders suggested that a way to combat climate change could be funding abortions in poor countries.
A teacher by the name of Martha Readyoff confronted Sanders on climate change. “Human population growth has more than doubled in the last 50 years, the planet cannot sustain this growth,” she started.
“Empowering women, and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact,” Readyoff added. “Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe.”
“The answer’s ‘yes,'” Bernie replied. “Women in the United States of Americas, by the way, have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions.”

“And the Mexico City agreement — which denies American aid to those organizations around the world that allow women to have abortions or even get involved in birth control — to me is totally absurd,” he continued. “So I think, especially in poor countries around the world where women do not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies and where they can have the opportunity through birth control to control the number of kids they have, it’s something I very strongly support.”

Bernie: I agree. We need to fund abortions to poor, third world countries.

Sanders isn’t the only Democrat to go radical on climate change. During the same CNN town hall, Pete Buttigieg claimed that beating climate change would be just as difficult as winning World War II.
“The fundamental question is how are we actually going to get it done? Because we’ve been having the same conversation for years,” the Democratic presidential candidate said on Wednesday.
“In order for that to happen, we have to actually unify the country around this project. And that means bringing people to the table who haven’t felt they have been part of the process. I mean, this is the hardest thing we will have done, certainly in my lifetime, as a country. This is on par with winning World War II, maybe more challenging than that,” he noted.

The Democrat who is very critical towards Christians, also decided to bring up God during the town hall event.
“This ought to be a bipartisan issue,” he explained while discussing climate change. “This once was a bipartisan issue and now it has gone completely off the rails. So let’s talk about some other dimensions of what’s at stake.”
Buttigieg then claimed that the Syrian civil war was somehow “partly caused” by climate change and that Americans should be “securing the lives of future generations.”
“Let’s talk in language that is understood across the heartland about faith,” Buttigieg said. “If you believe that God is watching as poison is being belched into the air of creation, and people are being harmed by it ?— countries are at risk of vanishing in low-lying areas ?— what do you suppose God thinks of that? I bet He thinks it’s messed up.”
He continued, “You don’t have to be religious to see the moral dimensions of this because frankly, every religious and non-religious tradition tell us that we have some responsibility of stewardship, some responsibility of taking care of what’s around us- not to mention taking care of our neighbor… At least one way of talking about this is that it’s a kind of sin.”
