Make Love Not Babies: The Culture War on Conception

Planned Parenthood was not the only advocate of homosexuality as a means of population control. In 1970 Rita Hauser, a noted Republican lawyer in New York, gave a radical speech to the American Bar Association, in which she argued that banning same-sex wedlock was unconstitutional, and based on an outmoded belief of procreation as the primary purpose of marriage. The perceived problem of overpopulation, as highlighted by Paul Ehrlich in The Population Bomb (1968), justified for Hauser a social goal of a reduced birth rate: —

I know of no better way of accomplishing this than marriage between the sexes.

Unfortunately for Hauser, who was President Nixon’s ambassador to the UN Commission on Human Rights, these comments cost her the predicted nomination as first female judge on the US Supreme Court.

Herbert Marcuse’s catchphrase of the Sixties, ‘make love, not war’ was perhaps more appropriately worded ‘make love, not babies’. That was the decade that launched the contraceptive pill, abortion, careerist feminism – and gay rights leading to normalising of homosexuality.

Gay liberation was a difficult process for Western governments, which on the one hand burnished their credentials of diversity, inclusivity and tolerance, while on the on the other hand they tried to assure society of maintaining social norms and religious morality. Changes to legislation did not always run in tandem with culture.

In the 1980s, numerous British pop bands expressed their homosexuality in lyrics that were not too blatant for mainstream radio play: Soft Cell, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure. By the end of the decade, the likes of Jimmy Somerville of the Communards were singing more overtly of loving men.

The progress of gay equality in the Eighties, however, was struck by the horror of AIDS. Auto-immune deficiency syndrome emerged in the homosexual communities of New York and Los Angeles. Some Christians regarded the disease as divine retribution for a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. It was also rife in southern Africa, and the conspiracy theory was that AIDS was introduced by the US military to cull black people.

The link between AIDS and the HIV virus has been contested, initially by Peter Duesberg, with suggestions that the syndrome is the result of prolonged illicit drug use and sexual promiscuity in gay men. Arguably, AIDS provided the groundwork for the later global pandemic of Covid-19, an alleged contagion that also raised conspiracy theories about its design. Some dissenting beliefs about Covid-19 reinforced the notion of a deadly pathogen (e.g. the Wuhan lab leak thesis), and the existence of AIDS was perpetuated by suspicion that HIV vaccines were actually spreading HIV.

Covid-19 enabled a giant stride by the globalist technocrats with their ‘Great Reset’, but AIDS was also a seminal event in Western culture. The message of public information on AIDS was that sex is hazardous – whether heterosexual or same-sex. ‘Durex’ advertisements appeared on television and in cinemas. The purpose of the sheath was not only contraception, but safety. The rubber protection became the officially-endorsed necessity for sexual intercourse, but in interfering with the spontaneity of lust, it probably caused many a failed coupling.

A rubber barrier has no deleterious effects on health, but the female contraceptive pill has considerable risks and side-effects. Many girls start on ‘the pill’ as soon as they reach puberty, prescribed by GPs influenced by targets and performance indicators. Continual ingestion of contraceptive hormone disruptors may serve a practical need, but there are adverse consequences for natural rhythm and (when desired) fertility, as well as the ecological impact of oestrogen in the water supply.

Cynics wonder whether ‘side-effects’ are effects as intended.

As explained in my book Green in Tooth and Claw (2024), ‘green’ and ‘woke’ are closely linked means to undermine traditional society and sex roles. All Western leaders pursue these destructive ideologies, as illustrated by fake conservative British prime minister David Cameron. On leaving office Cameron declared that his biggest achievement was legalising gay marriage, while he burnished his Green credentials with a photo shoot of him on a dog sleigh crossing the allegedly disappearing Arctic ice (to publicise global warming.

‘Pride’ promotion, now reaching fascist levels of propaganda, is clearly very important to the globalist agenda. Emphasis of gender ideology has shifted from LGB to T. The education system is exploited to persuade children and students to rethink their identity (transgenderism is probably a major factor in parents taking their children out of state schools). Puberty blockers make girls who want to be boys infertile. Frankensteinian sex-change surgery is a sure means of childlessness.

In facilitating depopulation, the biblical notion of ‘pride before fall’ is more apt than we thought.
