Award-Winning Feminist Author Says Parents With 'Bad Genes' Should Be Banned From Reproducing
[Townhall] The slow march of the collectivist thinker always leads society toward complete government control over every function of the individual -- whether it be the economy or your sex life, the only way the world can work under a leftist reality is if self-autonomy becomes obsolete. We were reminded of this again today after a self-avowed "secular humanist, feminist, physician" tweeted that certain parents should be banned from having children. In other words, she supports eugenics much like early feminist hero Margaret Sanger.

"Men and women who have bad genes with genetic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, SCD, etc. should not produce children. They have no right to make others suffer," Taslima Nasreen tweeted.

In what seems like a parody, she defended her position by claiming that she too suffers because of her parents' genetic defects. "I love fish and meat and sweets. But I have to be a vegan in order to reduce the risk of early death," Nasreen said.

#4 With upcoming gene therapy, this won't be an issue for much longer.

Or do they just want to admit they are pining to create the master race?

#5 She wasn't like this when I met her. Maybe it was just one of those temporary lapses of the ego.

Nasreen is a Bangladeshi english author in exile and has 7 murder-on-sght fatwas against her issued by rabid mullahs the world over. Wherever she goes she receives police protection and is a loud voice of reason against islam.

She's actually one of the good ones. Maybe she's been hobnobbing with liberal literati at those cocktail powered book-shows or something.

#10 If that happened all the women's studies fields would die off and so would their "beards".

#11 so would their "beards".

Oh, wait! You mean *that* kind of beard. I was thinking along the lines of that Frank Zappa lyric, "She was so mean she tried to grow a mustache".

#12 I'm, petals all plucked, at loose ends.
Do I like her... or not? It depends.
Here, wonderful enemies
Screaming obscenities;
There... her unspeakable friends.

Present company excluded. ;-) At first bleary-eyed glance, looks like author's stretching bigtime. Anyone see anything in his quotes that reads like a call for a ban? The "parental yoke of veganism" bit is nutty, but, dude... you're going to war on this woman over that?

#13 Okay, went back and read it. Piqued oatmeal. Mush meringue. Pitch-perfect me at fifteen (got the T-shirt!) and every lazy moment since. Color me glow in the dark self hating flaming commie abortionist white knight, but I'm with her not with him.
