Bernie: ‘Yes' I'm Courageous Enough to Talk About Population Control
"Human population growth has more than doubled in the last 50 years," an attendee told Sanders, adding that the planet cannot sustain such growth. "I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians but it’s crucial to face. Empowering women and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact," the attendee continued. "Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?" she asked. "The answer is yes," Sanders said, arguing that population control ‐ in the form of abortion and birth control, specifically ‐ is something he "very, very strongly" supports. "The answer has everything to do with the fact that women in the United States of America, by the way, have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions," Sanders said.
