“Gently force”
A person I know professionally (well respected in technology, MIT graduate, east European immigrant) has used that term regarding women. Specifically, “things” should be put in place to “gently force” women to have fewer children. This guy escaped from communism but he’s swallowed environmentalism hook, line and sinker.
That is unusual. My family came from a communist country when I was a child and I found “global warming” radioactive from the first. I think there’s far less belief in it in the Eastern Europe which has had a recent encounter with communism than in the West, where tyranny seems to be a forgotten concept. In the Czech Republic only about 11% of people believe in global warming but, of course, there’s a special reason for that - the wonderful Vaclav Klaus who can not only see the truth but articulate it.
<< ... escaped from communism but he’s swallowed environmentalism ... >>
I’d call that “spreading communmentalism,” not escaping it.
“Environmentalism,” by any other name, IS the new communism.
(Ask any Greenpeace founder!)

Does that mean they'll thoroughly dope up the women during forced abortions and sterilizations? Give 'em lots of pain med for the recovery period?
