Gloria Steinem: More Abortions Necessary to Combat Climate Change


Gloria Steinem may not be a scientist, but she’s come up with an interesting — if not surprising — theory about climate change. Apparently, it’s caused by a lack of abortions.

Lack of ready access to abortion is the primary cause of global warming, according to a new interview with radical feminist Gloria Steinem.

The founder of Ms. magazine had no trouble linking two of the emblematic leftist causes into one mega issue, arguing that lack of access to “reproductive health services” leads to overpopulation, which in turn causes the earth to warm uncontrollably.

Asked by Refinery29 whether climate change wasn’t also a “feminist” issues, Ms. Steinem ran with the question, connecting a series of invisible dots into a diatribe against the evils of patriarchy.

“Are you kidding me? Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have. That’s the fundamental cause of climate change,” she said.

“Even if the Vatican doesn’t tell us that,” she added.

It wasn’t immediately clear why Ms. Steinem limited the effects of a heavy-handed patriarchy to the last 500 years, since ancient Greece, Rome, China and India were arguably more “patriarchal” than the Christian Europe of the Renaissance, but this wasn’t really the core of her argument.

This really shouldn’t be surprising. Steinem is the ultimate feminist, and feminism must now extend well past women’s issues. Liberals must now link everything to climate change — and Steinem is simply keeping up with the times.
