.....”Individual rights. Individual rights must be balanced against the power of the government to control human reproduction. Some people—respected legislators, judges, and lawyers included —have viewed the right to have children as a fundamental and inalienable right. Yet neither the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution mentions a right to reproduce. Nor does the UN Charter describe such a right, although a resolution of the United Nations affirms the "right responsibly to choose" the number and spacing of children (our emphasis). In the United States, individuals have a constitutional right to privacy and it has been held that the right to privacy includes the right to choose whether or not to have children, at least to the extent that a woman has a right to choose not to have children. But the right is not unlimited. Where the society has a "compelling, subordinating interest" in regulating population size, the right of the individual may be curtailed. If society's survival depended on having more children, women could he required to bear children, just as men can constitutionally be required to serve in the armed forces. Similarly, given a crisis caused by overpopulation, reasonably necessary laws to control excessive reproduction could be enacted. It is often argued that the right to have children is so personal that the government should not regulate it. In an ideal society, no doubt the state should leave family size and composition solely to the desires of the parents. In today's world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?”''.....

RRD:In civilized societies & among civilized human beings,whether Libertarian,Liberal,Objectivist or Conservative,the word for ”forcing women to bear children”(which means,logically,forcing them to conceive) is RAPE.
Do Progressives believe raping women is acceptable?
Or will they say:he ”just” meant banning abortion?

...”In other words, the Romney administration in 2005 essentially did what Barack Obama’s EPA wants to do now. He imposed CO2 emission caps — the “toughest in the nation” — in an effort to curtail traditional energy production. Not only did Romney impose these costly new regulations, he then imposed price caps to keep power companies from passing the cost along to the consumer. As we have seen in RomneyCare, regulation and price controls eventually drive businesses into bankruptcy or relocation. So what has happened to Massachusetts’ electrical production since signing these regulations into law?According to the EIA, whose latest data is for 2009, it dropped 18% in four years, from over 46 billion megawatt hours to 38 billion. International imports, however, went from 697 million megawatt hours in 2006 to 4.177 billion megawatt hours two years later, and to almost 5 billion megawatt hours in 2009, more than twice the amount imported in any of the previous twenty years”....

The American Spectator : Romney's Pending Sellout on Global Warming
http://spectator.org/archives/2012/03/07/romneys-pending-sell-out-on-gl RRD:No doubt Romney apologists will drag out all the arguments used by Obama's defenders.
And if they will say:
"Romney's relationship with Holdren is not as close as Obama's is,and Romney didn't know about Holdren's background"
So Romney's defense is that he took advice from a lunatic, without even knowing who was advising him?!?!
This is exactly the sort of thing we can expect if we nominate a Rockefeller.
