Bernie Sanders Says U.S. Taxpayers Should Fund Abortions In ‘Poor Countries’ To Fight Global Warming

Sen. Bernie Sanders says American taxpayers should fund programs in “poor countries” to help women get abortions.

During a CNN town hall event in which Sanders and other Democrats r discussed plans to combat climate change, an audience member asked: “Human population growth has more than doubled in the past 50 years. The planet cannot sustain this 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. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?”

“The answer is yes,” Sanders said. “And 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.

“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. 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 limit the number of kids they have — something I very, very strongly support,” he said.

The 77-year-old is not a big fan of children — as you can see in the below video. Sanders was speaking to a group of voters in Epson, New Hampshire, on Tuesday when a baby cried briefly. “If we could keep that down a little bit. OK, thanks,” he said.
