Dan Bishop, R-N.C., who put out a lengthy Twitter thread outlining what he viewed as the most concerning provisions of the bill, described the idea of encouraging abortions in areas with high population growth as an example of “Malthusianism.”
On a more sinister note, here's at least 5 million for "family planning" in areas where population growth "threatens biodiversity."
