The way things are "progressing" we are going to see more of this.

American Papist: Not Your Average Catholic!: What the head of the Legion is saying to members

Looks great for Obama...except for the last two items.
It seems americans did not vote for Obama because he is pro-abortion.

This is a recent post by Patrick Madrid on his blog:


Global aging, combined with plummeting birth rates, is a
catastrophically dangerous menace that only a few people seem to be waking up
to. You may not be familiar with terms like “global aging” and “demographic
winter,” but you will be soon.
I've been giving public lectures on the problem of
global aging for the past 7 years or so, and my audiences are always shocked and
dumbfounded as I explain how the West's ever expanding population of old people
(due, thank God, to the ever-improving capabilities of bio-medical science),
while a good thing in itself, will soon become a prime target for the
forced-euthanasia crowd as the decline in birth rates among women of
child-bearing age throughout the West (as well as major non-Western countries
like Japan and Russia) forces an ever-shrinking number of younger, working
citizens to shoulder the economic burden of paying for the retirement benefits
consumed by the ever-expanding population of retired, old folks.
This is a
lethal combination that will, I am certain, begin playing itself out with
horrifying new consequences within the next 10, 15, 20 years. Perhaps sooner.
It's hard to predict. What we do know for sure, though, is that the West has
been marinating for decades now in the bloody serum of legalized abortion, and
it breathes the toxic atmosphere of ubiquitous pornography, insatiable
consumerism, the mania for entertainment (much of it violent), and an
all-pervasive contraceptive mentality. What would have been unthinkable to
Americans a mere 50 years ago (gay marriage, a billion-dollar abortion industry,
the rise of euthanasia, etc.) has become commonplace and increasingly
unremarkable in this generation.
Where are we headed?
American economist
Peter G. Peterson, in his book Gray Dawn: How the Coming Age Wave Will Transform
America and the World (Random House, 1999), predicts: “Global aging will become
the transcendent political and economic issue of the twenty-first century. I
will argue [in this book] that — like it or not, and there's every reason to
believe we won't like it — renegotiating the established social contract in
response to global aging will soon dominate and daunt the public policy agendas
of all the developed countries” (p. 5).
What Peterson means by “renegotiate
the established social contract” is: You retired people, as well as all you who
expect to retire in the next decade or two, don't expect that you'll be taken
care of by the rest of us the way you now are or expect to be taken care of.
Safety nets like Social Security and Medicare may have to be drastically
downsized or even, if the economy deteriorates badly enough, eliminated. In
other words, we may not be able to continue paying for the "burdensome expenses"
old people impose on an ever-shrinking younger workforce (Thanks, contracepting
couples! Thanks, abortion industry!). And what happens then?
I've been
saying for years now what is being reported yet again in this article. What is
now known as the “right to die movement” is steadily morphing into what will
soon become the “obligation to die movement.” Watch and see. It's happening
right now, before our eyes, though just imperceptibly enough not to raise any
significant alarm. When it does finally come out into the open, many people will
be so desensitized to this looming new evil that those promoting it will have
little difficulty imposing it on our ever more effete population.
The
politics of “young versus old” is rising, slowly but surely, and we will live to
see its pernicious effects. Soon enough we will begin to see how the demographic
winter results in an intergenerational struggle. The younger people, who have
lived their entire lives learning from the media and our culture as a whole that
other people are only useful or valuable insofar as they do one or more of a few
things: give sexual pleasure, provide entertainment, make money, or produce some
kind of product or service.
30+ years of legalized abortion has hardened
millions of younger Americans into seeing unborn children as “parasites” who
should be eliminated because they are inconvenient and unwanted. 50 years of the
mainstreaming of pornography (thanks, Heff!) have educated a wide swath of
Americans to look at others as objects for pleasure. And the aggressive cult of
scientism has successfully swayed many people to look at unpleasant realities
such as aging, pain, and lonliness as intolerable conditions that must be
eliminated at all costs.
So, barring some miracle (and while I do believe in
miracles, I also believe in Divine Justice), I predict that the next step in the
morbid evolution of the West's enmeshment in the culture of death will entail
such horrors as forced euthansia and cloning human beings for body parts. This
will begin to take shape as soon as enough people who have no belief in God and
no regard for the value of human life begin to realize what “demographic winter”
means for them financially.
With that in mind, please consider the chilling
points made in this LifeSite article:
Celebrated columnist and pro-family
leader Don Feder gave a jaw-dropping presentation on the coming 'Demographic
Winter' at the Rose Dinner which closes the official March for Life festivities
every year. Speaking to hundreds of attendees, Feder suggested that the
demographic problem of worldwide declining birthrates "could result in the
greatest crisis humanity will confront in this century" as "all over the world,
children are disappearing." "In the Western world, birthrates are falling and
populations are aging," said Feder. "The consequences for your children and
grandchildren could well be catastrophic." Feder noted, "In 30 years, worldwide,
birth rates have fallen by more than 50%. In 1979, the average woman on this
planet had 6 children. Today, the average is 2.9 children, and falling." He
explained the situation noting, "demographers tell us that with a birthrate of
1.3, everything else being equal, a nation will lose half of its population
every 45 years." Beyond an inability to pay for pensions, it is likely that
euthanasia will be one looked-to solution to the aging crisis, he said.
"Demographic Winter is the terminal stage in the suicide of the West - the
culmination of a century of evil ideas and poisonous policies,'" he said. Among
them he listed: "Abortion - As I mentioned a moment ago, worldwide, we're
killing 42 million people a year. It's as if an invading army killed every man
woman and child in Italy - then repeated the process every year. "Contraception
- For the first time in history, just under half the world's population of
childbearing age uses some form of birth control. Some of us remember when
births weren't controlled and pregnancies weren't planned. With all the wailing
about man-made Global Warming, carbon footprints and the ozone layer, wouldn't
it be ironic if what did us in wasn't the SUV but the IUD? . . . (read article)
