The Sierra Club is no stranger to controversy, but recently the group has come under fire for their far-reaching views on abortion. The president of the Sierra Club even went so far as to tell Fox News’s Tucker Carlson that “it helps to address the number of people that we have on this planet” so “we can get to a sustainable population.”
The organization also claims that abortion is good for the environment.
When asked why they believe abortion helps the environment, executive director Michael Brune merely replied with, “Well, we believe in empowering women’s rights. We think that, uh, women who have rights and who have the ability to have choice about their reproductive – make their own reproductive choices – uh, will help to produce strong families and will help to protect the environment at the same time. Sierra Club is pro-choice.” (RELATED: Find more news about abortions at Abortions.news)
Unsatisfied with Brune’s response, Carlson pressed on, asking, “But why? What does that have to do with the environment? How specifically does more abortion or legal abortion help the environment?”
Brune said that he believed abortion helps to “address” the amount of people populating the planet. “We feel that one of the ways in which we can get to a sustainable population is to empower women to make choices about their own families,” Brune explained.
Carlson commented on the fact that the Sierra Club’s ideologies seem to have drifted far from their original purpose — to protect the environment — and noted that the organization appears to have been “hijacked” and turned into a “left-wing advocacy organization.”
Brune claims that their stances on abortion, transgenderism, and illegal immigration are things they support because its “the right thing to do.” Of course, Brune also revealed that supporting these causes has also led to a dramatic increase in membership. So, is it really about doing the “right” thing, or is it about boosting membership? Who knows.
The Sierra Club executive director went on to explain that many of the club’s members might be gay, transgender, Latino, or even “undocumented,” claiming that it is important to support the rights of all people, so they can all stand together for the environment. Apparently, children who haven’t been born yet are not a part of this utopian, hand-holding vision.
