Environmentalism's Outer Limits
IBD ^ | November 23, 2007

Man And Nature: Enviro-fanatics are sterilizing themselves to reduce their "carbon footprint." We dread where their nihilistic ideology — that mankind is an evil planetary force — will lead next.


The U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper last week featured the beaming face of one Toni Vernelli, a British environmental activist who had sterilization surgery at the age of 27 because she considers children "a sinister threat to the future."

It was no Monty Pythonesque spoof. Two years earlier, despite being on birth-control pills, Vernelli got pregnant and had an abortion because "it would have been immoral to give birth to a child that I felt strongly would only be a burden to the world."

"Having children is selfish," the now-35-year-old says.

A vegetarian by age 15, Vernelli met her husband at an animal rights demo; on the morning of her sterilization, he gave her a "Congratulations" card.

Each new child, she says, "uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population."

What a depressing take on the value of human life. But it was echoed by another eco-crazed couple profiled by the Mail.

Sarah Irving, a 31-year-old green magazine editor, and Mark Hudson, a 37-year-old health care worker, reminisced about how, "after a year of dating, we started talking about sterilization."

I don't really mind if liberals opt for extinction.

They may reproduce abnormally but I do not think they will be around to write about the future.

Wait til she turns 50 and congratulating hubby runs off with thirtysomething to have a couple of kids. This pathetic old hag will be wearing a burka sipping a latte while surrounded by a neighbourhood of Jihad lovin Abdullahs. The law of unintended consequences.

Well, at least they won’t be able to brainwash their own children.

On the other hand, however, I’d appreciate it if they took themselves off of Earth before the big, bad, capitalist, freedom-loving pigs do. Or the ocean.

Please, Toni....please, you and your husband....please, for the sake of the world, for Mother Earth, both you and your husband, please commit suicide.

I'll personally plant both of your remains in a nice, green forest where you can fertilize some pine trees and let the voles gnaw on your bones.

It's the least you can do to atone for violently murdering your unborn child by ripping him/her to shreds while he/she most certainly screamed in agony.

Vernelli is a cowardly piker. If she were really serious, she'd join the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement.

Only if our grandkids embrace the coran and sharia law...

Nope. Ideology is not inherited, these diseased inhuman monsters spread by airborne contact.

"after a year of dating, we started talking about sterilization."

And some people say that there's no romance left in the world anymore.
